I was so happy when I finally got to play Rage after all the wait. I got the PC version of it instead of for the console. As soon as I started the game I was greeted by a pretty good movie intro which got me even more hyped up. As soon as the movie ends the flickering appeared all over the place, it got even worse as soon as I stepped out of the waste land area. I was disappointed but was determined to find the fix for it. After I updated my ATI 5670HD video card driver the problem still persisted. I was so close to giving up when I stumbled upon this on Google – The RAGE Megathread, one of the users posted a “preview” version of the latest ATI driver. I downloaded it and gave it a try while telling myself this might not work either. After I restarted my computer as prompted. I started the game for the third or forth time, to my surprised it actually was working with absolutely no screen tearing or flickering at all. Thank you InnocentCriminal from that thread!
Then again, shouldn’t this game be tested properly on PC before releasing? This is pretty bad, considering it was produced by Id Soft, the maker of the all time classic Doom? Oh the name of this game makes this whole situation ironic.
