Posted By | On 10th, Oct. 2011

RAGE has been patched for the PC, which introduces a lot of fixes for the issues surrounding the game. RAGE PC was a mess when released, which had a lot of problems from texture streaming issues to graphical abnormalities. The main thing was the problem with the AMD drivers. Check out the patch notes here.

The patch adds a texture cache option, which allows you to increase the texture cache size, allowing more data in the video memory and the minor patch fixes are detailed below.
