RAGE PC getting new patch to fix blurry textures photo

RAGE was patched for PC shortly after launch, but it wasn't completely fixed. There have still been issues with blurring textures, but a new patch is on the way that will sort everything out.

"We have a bicubic-upsample+detail texture option for the next PC patch that will help alleviate the blurry textures in RAGE,"said id Software's John Carmack on Twitter. 

RAGE released on October 5 and got pretty good reviews. The PC version, however, was marred with reports of visual problems and lacking options. Hopefully this last patch brings it up to speed with the console version, not that I feel that really excuses anything.

Its like he feels he has to remind everyone he is actually smart after this technical failure. Good on him though because he is.

Yaw dudes need ta quit trippin on my boy T-Mont. That dude is one badass bitch, yaw. When he makes claims like "this shitty console is better" or "this shitty game is better," that's true life. Because hardcore mofuckas like T-Mont got they own world where crazy shit is the real deal and they are the mofuckin business, yahurd? You can't touch T-Mont on his turf. So stay outta Lala Land, Mofuckas.

At least ID is taking care of this big issue relatively fast.

ZOMG guys they gave you exactly what you purchased and now they are giving you FREE patches that improves the game. You should be singering them in anthem and falling to your knees in praise. You ungrateful self entitled jerkface meanies.

Free textures! they are giving you FREE textures..... why no love?

Nice of id and Bethesda to throw us a bone for paying $60 to beta test their broken game.

They didn't give me what I wanted to purchase. I wanted a solid PC FPS with a decent story, good gameplay, variation and modern visuals. Such as their marketing promised.

They did give me good gameplay. However, no variation (the game is just fetch quests), lack of 'standard' pc options, no story, and the most horrible fucking visuals ever.

The Pop-in textures of that game is nothing but EMBARRASSING for ID. This game takes one step forward in the industry of fps... but then takes a few steps back.

We are in the age where Devs get away with releasing unfinished and unpolished games because they can simply release a "fix" patch later on. All just so they can release ahead of the competition... because their game isn't good enough to compete.

Cool, didn't know he did Twitter. So far I found his "feed" pretty interesting. Might finally get a twitter account just so I can follow. iOS5's Twitter integration might finally get some use.

Driver problems dude. Driver problems. Ati and nVida said driver will work in a certain way. But turn out they didn't and now both of them are desperately patching their drivers.

The update just seem to add some kind of filtering to sharpen the textures a little and from the looks of it will be adding "detail textures". But if you are getting the mess like the article's pic, update your drivers/wait for Ati and nVida to sort it out.

I didn't have any problems after their first patch. The game was great. Far better than the vast majority of other modern FPS games. There were a few things I didn't like but I don't regret the preorder.
