Overview

rage.exe commandline:

1) rageConfig.cfg

2) rageConfig.cfg MAX!

3) rageConfig.cfg Rage64

Comments

rage.exe commandline:

+com_allowConsole 0 +com_allowMods 0 +com_skipIntroVideo 1 +g_showPlayerShadow 1 +logFile 0 +set m_rawinput 1 +set m_raw 1 +com_maxfps 90 +g_fov 103 +exec rageConfig.cfg

For Testing Rage32, whether command line and cfg will work, set "+logFile 0" to "+logFile 1"!!
C:\Users\%UserName%\Saved Games\id Software\Rage\base\qconsole.log

For Testing Rage64, whether command line and cfg will work, set "+logFile 0" to "+logFile 1"!!
C:\Steam\steamapps\common\RAGE\SAVES\base\qconsole.log

Remember

If you are Testing Rage32 and Rage64 the Command Line Field must be changed for each!!!
+exec rageConfig.cfg or +exec rageConfig_max.cfg

Or you make a Shortcut of Rage64.exe with Target Command Line:

C:\Steam\steamapps\common\RAGE\Rage64.exe +com_allowConsole 1 +com_allowMods 1 +com_skipIntroVideo 1 +g_showPlayerShadow 1 +logFile 0 +set m_rawinput 1 +set m_raw 1 +g_fov 103 +exec rageConfig_MAX.cfg

-----------> Attention: Shortcut does not work for me, strangely enough, Rage.exe is always started instead of Rage64.exe!

1) rageConfig.cfg

Go to:

C:\Steam\steamapps\common\RAGE\base

make textfile rageConfig.cfg

copy & paste my values

I have tested many TWEAKS for idTech5, but most of the best parameters are locked!
I think this is the best you can do, all this values are used by Rage32 without error:

-----------> //---------Change values for your PC

Remember

For better AA use a DownSampling Resolution of your Graphic Card Driver!

I do not know, if we can use higher values and if we can, are they realy used by the game?
This is the best you can do for Rage32, without error and maybe better:

If You have PROBLEMS, go back to my first rageConfig.cgf!!

3) rageConfig.cfg Rage64

I do not use Rage64, even though:

Originally posted by qconsole.log:

...registered fake window class
...using WGL_EXT_swap_control
...using WGL_EXT_swap_control_tear

----- GL_Init -----
OpenGL version 4.6

I think, Rage32 is 120% better than Rage64!!! Try the GUIDE!!!

I tested both and the true holly fact is, no matter what version you want to play, I do not want to force you to do anything, basically you can use both, but if you want to use the proven error-free and faster, then the choice falls to 32bit!

I do not use Rage64, even though it has an expanded RENDER system and you can use bigger Cache and Imagefiles, but it does not look better, if you use my rageConfig.cfg MAX! for Rage32, and Rage64 feels more stuttery. (inGame Benchmark Rage64: 110 / Rage32: ~200 )!

And there are many WARNINGS in the Log and than Bugs:

Thanks for your nice words.

Basically yes, but this config file is of course optimized for this game, here the focus was on turning on everything that is possible, although most of the best parameters are locked, so that the game looks as nice as possible and to eliminate the stuttering, especially in this subversion (early version) of the id tech5 engine.

Dr Nilsson 🖖 5 Apr, 2023 @ 10:58am

Would these settings work on other idTech5 games?

Dr Nilsson 🖖 5 Apr, 2023 @ 10:46am

Thank you, thank you, thank you! The game now runs smooth with the 32bit version. The 64 bit still runs like crap but 32 runs like a charm.

schmatzler 24 Mar, 2023 @ 5:36am

Thanks! I took the max config on an RTX 3060 12GB and only changed these settings:

seta com_videoRam "12288"
r_mode "-1"
r_customWidth "3840"
r_customHeight "2160"

Works silky-smooth with almost no pop-in in full 4K.

ovd_masterkey [author] 26 Nov, 2022 @ 5:37pm

This is a opengl game. If You Enable in EGPU Driver OpenGL for EGPU it should work.

GER-RFAW 26 Nov, 2022 @ 9:22am

i have already specified my nvida graphics card. the problem is i have this running as egpu and the game does not recognize it. hence the question if you can select the graphics prozerssor in the game or in the cfg. in windows this has always been enough but unfortunately it does not work in this game.

ovd_masterkey [author] 8 Feb, 2021 @ 1:05pm

Try this:
e.g. CommandLine:

+com_allowConsole 1 +com_allowMods 0 +com_skipIntroVideo 1 +g_showPlayerShadow 1 +logFile 0 +set m_rawinput 1 +set m_raw 1 +g_fov 103 +exec rageConfig.cfg

---> in rageConfig.cfg:

seta com_fixedtic "1"
// 0=60 fps cut, 1= 60 FPS cut out + fix micro stutter with vsync=on

seta r_displayRefresh "144"

seta r_swapInterval "1"
// 1 = vsync on, -1 = 60 FPS Limit (maybe r_displayRefresh Limit)

AW4G9 8 Feb, 2021 @ 6:46am

@12345 mine has started doing the same thing and I can't bypass the 60fps lock anymore either, I had it working a few hours ago but now it doesn't which is really weird. I'm running a 1440p 144hz monitor

ovd_masterkey [author] 10 Nov, 2020 @ 2:56am

You can use Command Line and rageConfig.cfg!!

e.g. CommandLine:

+com_allowConsole 0 +com_allowMods 0 +com_skipIntroVideo 1 +g_showPlayerShadow 1 +logFile 0 +set m_rawinput 1 +set m_raw 1 +g_fov 103 +exec rageConfig.cfg

or only CommansLine if r_swapinterval will work?

e.g. CommandLine:

+com_allowConsole 0 +com_allowMods 0 +com_skipIntroVideo 1 +g_showPlayerShadow 1 +logFile 0 +set m_rawinput 1 +set m_raw 1 +r_swapInterval 1 +g_fov 103 +exec rageConfig.cfg

You can also test:

+set r_swapInterval 1
+seta r_swapInterval 1

bulletshowerr 10 Nov, 2020 @ 1:10am

Is there a simple launch value to enable the Vsync? I dont know why but my Rage keep forgotting i have enabled the vsync.
