I get a message saying that only a limited number of computers can be license for the game and this is an old game but I think this is only my 2nd computer the game has been on. If I'm mistaken just throw the game away because the other computer won't be playing this game?

I have Half-Life2 so I load it into my computer and it said that it has already been registered and an email is being sent to the owner. Well I never got an email so the only thing I can think of is I must have had a different email address. I bought the game new many years ago. So is there anything I can do or should I just throw the game away? Also what games goes on Steam because some play from the DVD like "Enemy Territory Mine Quake Wars". Is this a crappie game and should just throw it away or am I missing something?

I turned on the console in Rage by typeing in +set com_allowconsole 1 So now I'm tryng to turn it off so does anyone know the command?

I look for a long time in the wrong places, I guess but I don't know where to put my computer specs in. I know when I post I need to put in what I have but if it's already there then that would be nice. How can I do this?

Should I buy a GeFore instead of a Radeon, or spend $400 on the 7970 which I'm not prepare to do. So any advice on the card I should get and I want to keep it around the $200 mark?

Isn't "frames per second" what makes the games shaky like when you pan with your camera you get throws little stops and goes or just shaky when you pan if you don't have enough FPS? You will see this in movies when shooting from left to right or right to left or when the camera is panning. So I have a 5750 and it works pretty well but if I buy a 7850 could I play a game with smoother panning so not to get throws little shakes? Can I get more FPS with the 7850 over the 5750? I have a AMD 955 with 4 gigs of 1333 RAM and a 28 inch monitor (1980x1200) 750 Power Supply

I'm playing rage and I reset the setting and I don't know what I'm doing.

The waves you're talking about, as others said, is probably just Vsync. Other id-tech games like Doom 3 and Prey had the same issue. Try turning on Vsync in the game, and you can also check for any settings in your video card 'control panel'. Maybe your card isn't powerful enough, but maybe Quake 4 has vsync on by default and RAGE doesn't. It may also be a case where the game runs better on Nvidia. For reference, I'm using a GTX 560 card, and I'm running RAGE with 4xAA, vsync ON, Texture Cache Large, Texture Details High, Anisotropic Filter (AF) High, and GPU Transcode Enabled, and at close to 1080P resolution the game is nice and smooth.Stinger78

Anisotropic Filter is something I don't understand because it is suppose enhance the image quality but in Rage you can set it on low so why would anyone set it to low? or why would that option even be there?

I asked you about v-sync in another thread!

I'm sorry, I know you did but I didn't know what it was. I need to pay more attention.

Sounds maybe like screen tearing? If so, turn on vsync.

As for Rage requirements, it would be helpful to know the rest of your specs and what you're running the game at (resolution, detail, AA, AF, etc).

That being said, even after all the patches, Rage doesn't run that well on many systems at high resolutions and detail. Even with my desktop in my sig, I can't get 60FPS consistently outdoors even with no AA. It's a poorly optimized game, overall.

Thank You. I played Rage for 100 hours and my settings were wrong. I turned on vsync and now it's OK. I need to study up my quit a few things if I want to play these games right. I'm an old man who's background is computers but games are new to me. Thanks again.
