Don't blame the other platforms for this. If id Software really cared about getting it right on PC, they would have put in the effort to do so.
I bought the PC version, but I'm returning it because id Software did a lousy job on this version. Simple as that.

I am blaming the consoles for this. id focused solely on making this game as solid as possible on the consoles and made Rage an afterthought on PC. If you start a game on PC first, you iron out tons of bugs for a million different hardware configs which means in theory it should make it that much easier to port over to the wonder twins.
Guy has a point though. There really should be a PC tech thread for nearly everything released on the platform. That stuff is meaningless to at least 50% of the people in official threads yet it overwhelms discussion about the game itself.
And no, it doesn't go away quickly. The Deus Ex thread was a mess for a long time.
(and yes, I have a gaming PC. Haven't installed Rage yet)

For what it's worth, I'm playing on PC and have had zero issues. I'm really absorbed in the world of the game, having fun with the car battles, loving the gunplay, and the wingstick is so much fun. A lot of the characters are likable and I actually care about them. Plus, John Goodman does a voice and that's just so awesome.
There's been a lot of negativity, and some is justifiable, but I thought I'd throw in some positive impressions.

Recorded this quick video with FRAPS using an i7 920 / GTX 480 w/ 285.38 drivers. Game runs great and is fun to play.
It's to bad Youtube re-encodes 60fps video down to 30fps http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3H9y6OhUKgQ&feature=channel_video_title&hd=1

Nvidia or id or Bethesda needs to get a fucking update/driver out that nips this awful texture pop-in, in the ass, it is so goddamn awful that it is taking my enjoyment away from an other wise fun experience.

Whoa, running great there. Locked 60 FPS?JRW said:

I know the peasants don't usually care about the nobility's problems but unless the mods make a seperate thread for every game this is all we've got to share solutions to problems.
Basically what I'm saying is deal with it until most of the kinks get ironed out and we can all talk about the game. Because if we can't play it then we can't talk about it either.

Seriously it's really not a big deal, but when you haven't played a game on a PC since Diablo released, yet can name several chip sets, processors, etc., it get's old fast. Especially when all you really want to know is what people think of the game. PC tech thread sounds like a good idea.

Maybe we should make an OT for console and one OT for PC. How about that? Since you want these threads just to be about console.

Accidentally shipped this to my parents house. Well, I guess there is a little time for smoke to clear. I got it on PC and planned to return it based off the early sky is falling stuff.
Played for about a good hour and a half. Running great on my setup (i7 2600k/GTX 580 BF3 beta drivers)- 1080p/4xAA 60fps without a single drop or stutter. Texture pop-in is there, but nowhere as bad as those videos posted earlier. They pop in very quick, almost like a quick flicker. Obviously, I'd prefer for it not to happen at all, but it's not horrible.
Here are a couple of shots:

Im running a single GTX 480 + 285.38 and the game runs at a solid 60fps @ 1920x1080, the texture loading is far less obvious on Nvidia you only get glimpses of it at the sides of the screen if you happen to move the mouse quickly.
I also recorded this video in Fraps @ 60fps if you (or anyone) wants to see how it runs on Nvidia Link (128mb .AVI)
P.S. I hate how Youtube re-encodes 60fps video to 30fps in case anyone is wondering why I didn't just upload it there.

Every multi-plat OT does not get turned into a PC troubleshooting clinic. Any time there are major technical problems with a game, regardless of platform, it turns into a troubleshooting clinic and rightfully so.

GTX 560ti and it's running super smooth. I did force V-Sync and triple buffering in NvInspector. I can spin as fast as I can and I detect zero texture pop in. It's the most beautiful low-res game I've ever seen. I really hope we get a texture pack option someday (even if it's half a terabyte), but it definitely looks good enough to enjoy playing. You just can't torture yourself by staring at the walls.

OK. Uninstalled previous ATI drivers, restarted, installed the performance driver, restarted (so that damned AMD External events service could start). Configured CCC to force V-sync, enabled triple buffering and set texture filtering to high quality. Modified the launch options to remove the intro videos too, for the hell of it.
End result from 5 minutes in game? Flawless victory.
No tearing and solid 60fps. I do still see some texture loading, but its at about Gears 3 levels so no biggie.

Fuck me stupid and call me Bad Irene, that game looks great, hell the detail in looks amazing, and personally I don't mind if it's a shepherded expereience. That hotel room really looks like a hotel room and not just some rooms with chairs, talk about the detail.JRW said:
So I'm confused, why are the reviews across the board? Is it a tech thing or mostly gameplay issues?
Now to find the cd key site with the lowest price! How big is the PC install?
Eh, it's different with PC stuff. Even when a game is working properly, the thread will be cluttered with people going on about different AA settings, forcing triple-buffering, getting rid of that intermittent stutter, complaining about mouse acceleration, et cetera.Zefah said:
We wouldn't lose anything by relegating that stuff to a separate thread.
