Yay they are still fixing a dumb game like rage. I guess the whole driver team got to go on a long vacation this holiday season.

I'd think when a game like SWTOR gets released and a reported 1.5 million people bought the game on launch they would focus on the masses. But ,ya know, rage is priority lol

I got sick of Rage and uninstalled it after it refused to work right on my 5830. Maybe they patched it by now but I can't be arsed to install that massive 25GB behemoth again.

herp derp, the fix is for an UPCOMING patch, that means finally bethesda/id are asking the driver team to look at the game before releasing something broken to the public

as if the same opengl people are the ones who can add CF to swtor

any word on when the upcoming patch is coming? but yea other games should get priority over this, it had its chance & was selling for $10-$15 in all those xmas sales. never seen a game drop from $59.99 to $15 so fast!

EDIT: k found out its planned for end of January. still a while away, but good on AMD for being proactive.
