Why only two controllers are supported? I have a logitech cordless rumblepad 2 and I can't play to Rage.

Thank you for your answer

Is the Macbook mid-2010 with nvidia GeForce 320M supported?

Does it run on the latest 10.6, too, or not at all?

Bough Rage from Mac App Store Sweden. After download Rage will not launch. The application icon flashes/blinks a few times and then nothing happens.  System: iMac 27" 2,8 GHz intel Core i5, ATI Radeon HD 5750 1024 MB, 8 GB DDR3. Mac OS Extended (journaled)

In App Store costumers reviews several customers reports the same problem.

Same as above, I installed Rage this morning and when trying to launch nothing happens. (27", i5 3.1GHZ, 6970M, 8GB)

Bought Rage, installed it and i have the same problems when clicking on the items it disappear after a few seconds...

No show, no play payed 32 euros for it...pls help us out?

Same problem as above - clean install twice, but without any result.

Seems that I missed a line in the system requirements: "This game is not supported on volumes formatted as Mac OS Extended". Apparently my system is in the Mac OS Extended (journaled) format, overlooked that initially. Can bet the people above face the same issue.

Jason - did we really waste our money now? Is there any workaround or patch available?

Thank you in advance!

I also have the same problem on my iMac 27", i7, ATI 4850, 8GB RAM. Only thing I get in my logs right after I'm trying to start it is: "com.apple.SecurityServer: Session 100017 created". If I try and start it again I'll get the same message but with a higher number "...100018 created".

Steven: The important thing in the file system requirements is the "CaseSensitive" part, I think that 99.99999% of OS X users are using "Mac OS Extended (journaled)" and only 0.00001% is using the "MAC OS Extended (CaseSensitive)". So I think both you and the rest of us are safe on that one. :)

Launches, quits. Same problem as those above I'm afraid. 

04/02/2012 10:26:16.689 com.apple.SecurityServer: Session 100013 created is the only console message produced.

Andreas: Thank you for the clarification, much appreciated :)

Same as Jonas, Phil, Dirk, Steven, Andreas and Andy are things going to get sorted???

Same problem as above,

Bought Rage, installed it and i have the same problems when clicking on the items it disappear after a few seconds...

I think that is a nice game,but i need to try it...

I payed 32 euros for it like the others...pls help us out?

same

Same here... bought via app store, when starting, the icon is visible for a couple of secs and then.....  nothing!

Doesn't start for me either. Mac OS X 10.7.3 / Mac Pro 3,2 GHz 12 GB / ATI HD 5870 1 GB

When trying to start the game every 5 sec, I get these messages in the system log:

Feb 4 13:30:55 Vromvrom com.apple.security.XPCKeychainSandboxCheck[4056]: Can't get dir or base (likely out of memory) for

These messages must be related to RAGE®. And it looks like a memory problem?? I think Apple should pull this software ASAP from the appstore. No point downloading 15GB to see this. Looking at Aspyr, well, looking at how they still haven't got Sim City 4 up and running ok on Mac OS X I don't expect much. 

I'm glad I'm not alone with this!

I contacted Aspyr support about this yesterday, and sent them a System Report, and here's the reply:

"Unfortunately, the error generating is referencing a failure of the App Store verification receipt validating. Since the game was just released yesterday, it could be due to an overburdened network access issue. Please reinstall and relaunch the game until the account verification displays properly.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience in this matter.

Aspyr Support"

I have now downloaded Rage 3 times from the App Store, and it still won't open.

Same issue here - iMac 27" 3.4GHz i7; 8GB RAM. Launch and close within a second.

Are Aspyr really suggesting we download 13.4GB of data again?! Surely there has to be a less bandwidth intensive fix - otherwise I'll be requesting a refund (seems others that have re-downloaded are still having the same problem too).

same issue here  - tried reinstall no response tho

iMac 27 3,1Ghz i5- 12gb Ram

 HD 6970M 1024 MB

Same here, met all system requirements except the HFS+ part. I overlooked this part. @Aspyre, why publish a game which does not support the default Apple file system. HFS+ is factory default. What is the sense of that... Please provide all these customers a version which does support HFS+ or otherwise refund!

Europe/Norway. Downloading on DSL, wire all the way. But the file downloaded is 15.94GB, not 12..47 GB as said on the appstore.

Albert, Rage does support the default Mac OS Journaled file system - it's the "Case Sensitive" file system that is not supported. so you should be ok.

Downloading from London over a wireless connection.

England.  Downloaded on wireless via SKY and took for ever

Europe/Belgium - wireless connection.

Europe/Sweden Downloading on DSL. Using time capsule as a Wi-Fi base station for my network at home.

UK here. Mac OS X 10.7.3 (used Combo updater). Downloaded via wireless. Left overnight - had paused at around 2.88GB - resumed this morning.

Some of us are using other video cards (I'm using a GTS 250, for example), and I can't get anti-aliasing to enable itself.  I'd like to be able to tweak the rageconfig.cfg file to try to force some graphical settings, but I can't find it.  Please let us know where Mac users can find the .cfg file to apply tweaks, thanks!

DSL download at my site. 

I see many positive comments from US App Store users. Most of the complaints come from European users. Are European Mac's installed with a case sensitive HFS+ file system and US Mac's with case insensitive HFS+?

Do know that i'm really eager to play this game on my Mac :-)

Go to System Preferences > Language & Text - ensure that English is the uppermost Language on the Language Tab - try and start RAGE now.

I at least get the Start-up screen now, when British English was uppermost, I couldn't even get that far - will play some more, but thought I'd post a potential 'fix' quick. 

thank you Rob it's working 

Rob, seems to do the trick indeed! Thanks a million times!

Thanks indeed Rob, this is a good workaround. I'm also able to save games.

/Gigantic Facepalm

It works, thanks Rob.

yep !! works here too. Thanks Rob

Wow! Rob Goodison!

Do you work for Aspyr? if not, then thanks for giving us a fix while Aspyr are floundering - let's hope they now post a fix quickly, so I don't have to keep resetting my Language prefs.

Again, many thanks

No problems, folks. At least it doesn't require a re-download - I'm sure my ISP would have have throttled me down to dial-up speeds...

Jason - might want to add something to the Games Description on the App Store entry if you can - I can see someone else having the same issues - I have posted a comment in the Customer Reviews section, but it's not up yet.  

Jason - any thoughts on the Xbox360 controller setup? As I mentioned, the controller works fine for titles like Mafia 2 and Bioshock, but won't work on Rage. WHat is the recommended setup??

Rob's fix worked for me. Look's like the who 're-download' thing was a red herring. Enjoying the game now. Aspyr, please fix this anti-British feature!

Success! THanks!

I'm from Sweden and to change language to english made it work for me too, so now we at least have a workaround. Thanks! :)

I guess/hope though that Aspyr will fix it permanently.

I have a similar problem as George.  I removed the XBOX 360 Controller for Mac driver but it's not working at all.  The green light around the X doesn't even light anymore.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Yes (for me) - wired.

Rage is not runing after install. Why?

My Configuration : 

Downloaded wirelessly from Mac App store (living in Italy), used the changing language to English fix. It plays beautifully - no  glitches/bugs/graphics problems as yet (MacBook Pro 15" / 2.8GHz / 4GB RAM / NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT 512 MB).

However, I am having difficulty saving. About 50% of the time, when pressing ESC and clicking on 'save', the game just quits. A little frustrating. Anyone else having similar problems?

(@ Arsen Jangiryan, is your computer's default language English? If not, scroll up for the fix)

Yes of course. My language is English by default. 

A think rage having some problem with Radeon video cards. This problem was too on PC platform.  

Quick update on my inability to save (from 3 posts up):

Seems the problem occurs when accessing previous save slots - I can save new slots without problems, but loading or saving over an old spot causes the game to quit. Especially annoying now that I've filled up the save spots...

I all understand, but i can't launch the game. Game automatically quit. 

Just to clarify when I changed the language from "British English" to "English" it worked fine - no need to reboot. Very strange. Thanks to Rob for the fix.

Hi all; re the Xbox 360 controller problem. I couldn't use the controller in RAGE until I disabled the tattiebogle driver that I use to support the controller in other Mac games . I didn't want to uninstall it completely, but as soon as I disabled it, it sprung into life in RAGE. So I guess the driver conflicts with the game's controller support.

In case you have the same setup as me - to disable the controller while playing RAGE, open a terminal, change to /System/Library/Extensions and run 'sudo kextunload 360Controller.kext' (you'll need your admin password for this - look up the sudo command if you're not sure about this). To enable the driver again, use 'sudo kextload 360Controller.kext'.

Hope this helps.

Below are my MacBook Pro specs. Anyone have an idea whether these specs would be sufficient to run the game smoothly?? Although my graphic card do meet the minimum requirements but i don't want to buy and have a choppy running game… 

Processor  2.3 GHz Intel Core i5

Memory  4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB

Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3

I especially don't trust the OSX, my Starcraft II on Leopard ran smoothly on medium settings. Now i gotta play on low settings that are same as SC 1 graphics :@

Can anyone confirm PS3 bluetooth controller working? Since this game was released on PS3 and 360 shouldn't those controllers all work? Feral is able to do that with all their releases, shouldn't be a stretch for Asypr.

I tried downloading Rage from the App Store 4 times. It downloads...then it says 11 minutes are left...after a few minutes a message comes up saying that the .pkg cannot be opened..what's up. I am in the U.S. I have a 13" Macbook Pro (newest model); 16gb memory, 2.8 dual core I7, OSX Lion, Intel HD 3000 Graphics.

Can you solve my problem...and if not, how can I get my money back?

George - thanks for your help on the XBOX360 Controller.  It works!

Strangely when I uninstalled the driver, no dice.  I reinstalled it but deactivated it and it worked great.  Strange.

Thanks again.

@Murray: the uninstall probably left the driver loaded and running...

jason- I still can't use my xbox 360 controller. what should I do ? where can i take out the 3rd party drives ? I really want to play this game with my xbox 360 controller! Please help!

Where to find the manual for the game? It's not included in the download as far as I can say. I'd prefer German manual but English one would be better than nothing...

Finally, a successful download and install from Aspyr. However, when installing I received 2 messages saying that there were files that couldn't be installed. I clicked ok each time and it proceeded and finished the install. Just started using Rage. Seems to run very smoothly. Graphics and sound are great. 

Jason....I really need a manual. Where do I get one? Don't know all the controls and content. 

Have ordered Microsoft recommended controller. Has anyone tried the 

Macally iShockX Dual Shock Feedback Gamepad for Mac & PC controller?

I am also having an issue with my controller. I bought all the recommended setup to be able to play batman, and it works perfectly with batman. But not rage. I have MBP 2.4 quad, wireless microsoft adapter and a wireless controller. Works great on batman, but not rage. Any suggestions? anyone having a similar issue? I have read and followed all the suggestions with no results. I am a programer so I understand most if not all. I assume the wireless is not supported. 

-brew

@-brew: check my post above regarding the Mac and the Xbox controller. Assuming you have the same setup as me (the 'tattiebogle' driver), it can be unloaded while playing RAGE and then loaded back in to play other games that need it. That driver conflicts with the RAGE code (or vice versa - depends on your perspective, I guess :).

Graham, How do you disable? I clicked the "+" icon next to my controller and unselected all drivers. Is this what you are referring to? Also, are you using a wireless controller?

What about OSX 10.6.8?

Jason, the tattiebogle Xbox360 controller driver is unloaded using the shell. (The driver is a kernel extension, and these can be loaded and unloaded at run-time.) Your preferences and the preference pane will remain intact, it's just that the driver won't be doing any USB 'work'. (By the way - if you 'uninstall' the driver from System Preferences, all that actually happens is you don't have a preference pane any more. The driver remains 'installed' and loaded. Actually uninstalling this driver is a manual process of removing several files from various OS X locations.)

The process is as follows: to (temporarily) disable the controller, open a terminal and, as an admin user, change to /System/Library/Extensions and run 'sudo kextunload 360Controller.kext' (you'll need to enter your password for this - look up the sudo command if you're not sure about what's going on). To enable the driver again, use 'sudo kextload 360Controller.kext'. You might want to put together a shell script or some AppleScript to automate the process nicely.

My understanding of the issue is this - essentially, the driver intercepts and translates the USB 'traffic' from the wired controller, or the wireless receiver, and feeds it to the game in a language it can understand. The RAGE software is doing the same thing, which is why they 'conflict'. Stop the driver from 'intercepting' the USB traffic and RAGE starts 'getting it' instead.

This is also why the process works for both the wired and wireless controllers - the USB interface is 'the same'. I've used both with the same results.

Hope this helps...

Wait patch.

@Jason - one important edit to the instructions ... if it's the wireless controller you want to load or unload, the kext name is Wireless360Controller.ket, so you'd need 'sudo kextunload Wireless360Controller.kext' to unload, and 'sudo kextload Wireless360Controller.kext' to load.

Hope this got to you before frustration kicked in...

@Graham, thanks for your work and advise. I do think there is a deeper issue with the wireless controller. I am aware and have done all your previous suggestions. I am running 10.7 with a wireless controller and here is what I am running into when I have all extensions wireless or not disabled, uninstalled, "unloaded."  In running Apple console, Rage tries to access "IOHIDLibUserClient" via sandbox and receives an error. I have uninstalled every unrelated USB driver and still have the same results. no luck. I search the error on Apple's site the error and found this (http://lists.apple.com/archives/usb/2012/Jan/msg00011.html) which is very interesting. Evidently the developers using sandbox to connect joystick with their App are having the same issue. This was 2 weeks ago. Apple says: 

Unfortunately there are no entitlements that allow sandboxed access to HID APIs at this time.

Aspyr could totally use the architecture that has been used for years with "tattiebogle" and we would have no issue with wireless controllers. I would have bought the xbox version if I wanted to play this bad, but it is fun finding solutions though!! :)  I do however, believe what you are saying. I also believe that a wired controller would work and I am trying to find one today. 

If you unload the wireless kext for either the controller or the dongle, the controller will no longer connect to the dongle.

Here are the reports from console

@Jason; I'm sorry to have to report that your findings are absolutely correct. While I can interchange the wired and wireless Xbox 360 controllers with my other Mac games (BioShock, Portal 2 etc.), with RAGE I can only use the wired controller, and then, only with the tattiebogle driver unloaded.

I don't get the sandbox denial reported in the console - perhaps because I'm running the non-MAS version of the game. Having said that, I can only assume the non-MAS version is the same binary as the MAS version, so perhaps I'm hitting the same wall. (The fact that I get an 'unknown class: InAppPurchaseView' message in the console would suggest they are :)

Not sure where to go from here. Wired, by the looks of things.

Over to Aspyr...

@Graham, it took a bit, but I had a hunch not all microsoft controllers would work based on this. I should have a wried controller by this afternoon. I hope to taste the workable controller first hand.

I have a 2011 iMac OXS 10.7.2, 2.7 Ghz Intel Core i5, 4GB 1333 Mhz DDR3, with graphics:  AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB. This graphics chipset is not in the supported list. Will Rage work?

I have a problem using my wired xbox 360 controller for Rage. I have the Tattiebogle thing but it won't work in the game. I have tried taking it off then use the controller and it still doesn't work. any help is much appreciated.

Having the same problem as Ryan!

RIGHT. I've tried fully deleting tattiebogle and all its associated files. I've tried following the terminal route, with - apparently - decent success in unloading the kext file. I've tried restarting my iMac several times. I've tried starting Rage with the controller plugged in, starting Rage with the controller unplugged, starting Rage with the controller unplugged and only plugging it in after enabling, etc, etc. Nothing seems to be working.

I'm pretty sure Tattiebogle is no longer active on my machine. I'll try fully deleting it again in a minute, just to make 400% sure (I've already done this once). Yet the wired xBox 360 controller which I have is not registering with the app at all.

Any suggestions / support greatly appreciated!

TY in advance...

My brother just fixed my problem!! He has written a step by step instructions for me so that i can understand how to do it for my self. @Geoff i attached it so that if you or anybody else is having the same issue then they can use it too.

TY, Ryan. That's exactly what I'd done. Several times.

It turns out that the controller worked in full screen, but wasn't working when windowed.

Why that's the case, I have no idea... Got it working (full screen), anyhows.

hey I'm so so sorry for this perhaps... slow question but my macbook pro specs are:

Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5

Memory: 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 3000 384

Software: Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3

but my real question is can my mac handle this game. i noticed that the processor had to be a duo core and i just wasn't sure if my processor/ system would be able to run this at minimal/recommended specs. 

I've been eager to purchase this game on my macbook pro for a while now and would been frickin grateful for your answer. thanks

Right.

Further to the above (wrt the xBox 360 controller), following a restart the controller was again refusing to work. I had to go through the sudo kextunload process again (though preceded it with sudo kextload, just to make sure there was something loaded to be unloaded...).

It STILL refused to work when I then restarted Rage, plugging the controller in after starting the app.

Controller finally worked after restarting (again), this time ensuring that the controller was plugged in before the app was started.

Bleh.

Life would be much simpler if Aspyr could find a way of supporting tattiebogle's driver too!

My save games don't work for the authority prison. When I try to restore it kicks me out to the entrance to the prison and I have to start all over again. Very frustrating. Also I use the keypad for movement and actions, the number 9 key is mapped to the number 8 key so that I cannot assign different actions to these keys without one overwriting the other.

I have the german version of the game, and i really want to change the language from german to english cause i want to play it with original syncro.

(the german syncro kinda sucks) How can i change languages? 

OMG I got 3/4s of the way through the gear head vault, died and tried to restore my saved game and it kicks me back outside the vault. Fix this! So far 3 of my friends have asked me about the game and I've told em not to bother. 

Hi There - i have now played Rage in max settings with NO problems (30 - 40 FPS), but after starting "Dead City Central" my game goes down to aprox 2 FPS - and can´t  of course play this part...... :-(   Is it a missing Driver update for ATI HD, or??????? Please help!

Spects: IMac 21,5 , medio 2010 - 3,2 Intel Core i3 - ATI HD 5670 512 MB - 6 GB DDR3 Ram

Forgot to tell that i tryed to lower the settings to lowest possibly - and it helped nooo way!!!

I'm not sure if this only works in the USA but if you're having trouble launching RAGE only because of a receipt issue due to Appe, you can open up package contents and replace the receipt with one from Twitter or another app.

anyone know where the saved game files are located?

User/Library/Containers/com.aspyr.rageappstore/Data/Library/Application Support/Rage/base/savegam

(Regarding the com.aspyrrage.appstore/Data/... savegame path quoted above. I bought the non-App Store version of the game and my saved games are stored in HD:Users:<user>:Library:Application Support:Rage:base:savegame.)

I've noticed an issue with the contents of the savegame directories when they don't load. After resolving this issue the save games will load for me, every time, but I wanted to mention the path caveat above in case it's a result of having the non-App Store version. I should also note I'm only up to the Mutant Bash TV stage of the game in case that has a bearing on the situation.

Basically, for manually saved games (i.e. not autosaves), RAGE saves instanceN.rage files in the savegame directory (among others), where N is a PID or similar. In my experience, when a save game won't load, there are always two or more of these files in the savegame directory. If all but the latest instanceN.rage files are removed, the RAGE will load that saved game again, with everything intact. Of course, you might want to back up your 'base' directory first :)

It would be interesting to know if this is the same problem for the App Store version of the game...

it downloads on my mac up to 509.78 mb and then stops EVERYTIME!!,  I've tried it with a ethernet cable and everything? anyone know if the app is down or faulty at the moment?
