Rage PC patch to improve 'blurry' textures
by Alice O'Connor, Oct 17, 2011 1:15pm PDTRage's "blurry" textures got you down? Fret no more, for id Software's techno-wizard John Carmack says that a new option in the next PC patch "will help alleviate" the problem.
"We have a bicubic-upsample+detail texture option for the next PC patch that will help alleviate the blurry textures in Rage," Carmack revealed on Twitter. It'll look prettier, you see.
Asked whether id would also be releasing higher-resolution textures, Carmack's reply made it look unlikely.
"Our first test of a higher res page file didn't help much, because most source textures didn't actually have any more detail," he responded.
There's no word yet on when this PC patch will arrive, nor what else might be in it.

Nah, I stopped bothering with AA altogether. Jaggies I can visually tune out much easier than I can fuzzy textures not that RAGE is innocent on that in many regards or AA-induced fps drops.
