This game is generating massive amounts of rage in a whole lot of PC gaming forums, literally.

- almost zero graphics tweaking
- massive texture pop-in, worse than Singularity at launch and constant
- no widescreen FOV

etc etc

I'll buy it when they fix this crap.

Its another poor port to PC.

The problem is it's ID Software that's doing the port, not some garbage developer.

It's a (silly) decision by Id not to let PC users muck around the config since from what I've read the engine scales itself automatically to provide 60fps at all times.

This. It's easy to scale for 60fps on consoles due to the lack of hardware variation, but impossible for PC due to the wide variety of graphics cards and screen resolutions.

The floor textures in the screenshot with the RC buggy is rather poor for a company of ID's stature. And is it just me or this game has no bump mapping whatsoever?

^ You should have been forewarned if you check out Metacritic user scores:
http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/rage/user-reviews

They have been proven to be much more reliable than game reviewers time and time again.

I haven't finished it. Waiting for that texture patch.
Hopefully soon. ;I

Don't count on that texture pack coming out. The game already uses 3 DL DVDs worth of data. A megatexture HD pack would easily be 30++GB.
