As explained (http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33780948&highlight=blank+rage3dtweak) here, to fix the blank page problem, just change skins using the Select Skin utility in the Rage3D Tweak program group.

After you change skins, the settings page will appear fine.

This little bug will be fixed soon in an update.

And now I have fog. Thanks!
Still looks like shite compared to the Nvidia version but I prefer the Radeon's overall performance. Good thing I can easily live without fog in Thief.

On the topic of video cards:

For Thief 3 I am thinking about going out and buying this: (http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0172708) nVidia GeForce FX 5200 128MB

Does anyone know if this is compatible for Thief 3, and if it is, will it mess up Thief 1 or 2?

Very slow videocard. Not good decision. In Russia we can by this card for 30$ ...As a computer advisor I can say Never buy video under the 100$. (I dont know your prices)
Low end NVIdia videos looks very poor In comparison with ATI Low-end. 'ts not good idea for buying GeForce.

Try Radeonator 2.0 for tweaking ATI. I have no problen with it in all ATI Cards.
Thief3 become a slideshow on this. but it compatible. Quote from Thief3 Readme: "

Can someone help me out here, I still cannot figure out how to get fog for this thing. I have been messing with it for a week; I even reverted back to catalyst 5.7.

I can see the Rage3D section in the Catalyst control center, yet this section called "Direct 3d" does not seem to exist. Where am I supposed to look for this? I changed the skins, that didnt do anything.

I have Rage3D open and all it has is: Overclocking, OC Testing, and Game Utils. None of those 3 have anything with "Direct 3d" in them.

..the easiest way is probably (http://www28.brinkster.com/chrisww1942/) radlinker.install,go to d3d settings (rightmouseclick on your desktop,select radlinker and you are there),unselect w-fog and it should work.it has worked fine for me,and I was not able to fix it with rage3d tweak..

I installed Rage3D Tweak 3.1e to get fog in "Thief II" with a Radeon 9550. This was successful. I had to use an old version of Rage3D tweak because newer ones won't run on Windows 98 SE which I'm using.

I was curious. There were some hints that Rage3D Tweak just changed something in the Windows registry, so I compared two .reg files created by regedit. The result was quite unexpected.

Apparently, Rage3D Tweak created a suspicious registry key:

"UninstallString"="R3DUnst.exe Uninstall and format hard drive, install viruses, wipe bios."

This key is located in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\RegTweak .

I searched for viruses with AdAware and F-Prot but found nothing. I found Version 3.1e of Rage3D Tweak on a computer magazine's CD which is about three years old; I guess the virus scanners should know such a virus by now. There has been no suspicious behaviour of the system so far.

Google found only one site mentioning this registry key, but unfortunately it's a Japanese site. Since I don't speak or read Japanese, I don't know what this site tells us about this registry key.

I guess it's just a bad joke, but does anyone else know anything about this registry key? Has anyone found this key in the registry as well?

I have a few questions about Rage3D Tweak. I'm having a AMD Athlon 3 Ghz, 512 MB RAM, ATI Radeon 9600pro video card and the latest ATI drivers (version 5.10) installed.
Today I downloaded 'Rage3DTweakCCC v1.1 Cat5.10' from (http://www.rage3d.com/r3dtweak/). When I tried to install the program a small screen appeared with the text: ATI CCC not installed. I'm constantly getting the same screen so I'm unable to install the program.
On the ATI site ((http://www.ati.com) http://www.ati.comare two drivers to choose from: The driver with Control Panel (25 mb) and the driver with Catalyst Control Center (33 mb). I have the first driver, 25 mb version, installed, because the Catalyst version doesnt work on my computer and causes a lot of trouble :( . It seems that the only way to get Rage3D Tweak is to install the Catayst (CCC) version, which I cant use :grr:
Does someone know if there's a version of the program available that also works with the 25 mb ATI Driver?

I tried earlier to get Rage3D Tweak installed on my computer, but then I downloaded an older version of the program, Rage3D Tweak 3.9, which can be found at (http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=391). Is this version compatible with the latest drivers (5.10) or do I really need Rage3D TweakCCC v1.1 these days?
Also I would like to know in which directory I should install the 3.9 version. During the setup you are asked to select the directory you wish the program to be installed. What map must I choose? ATI or something? I have no idea :confused:
The fog problem with ATI is driving me mad. After so many fogless years I really want to have it back. The original missions and fanmissions are just so less enjoyable without it. Any help or information would be really appreciated :erg:

To use the CCC-Drivers it is required to have the (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=262d25e3-f589-4842-8157-034d1e7cf3a3&displaylang=en) MS .NET Framework installed, as mentioned on ATI's Homepage. It will indeed cause some trouble, if .NET is missing.

Chuck Rage3D. I'm using (http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=733) Ati Traytools, and it's got FAR more options. Plus, it works with the newer drivers.

Has an integrated auto-overclocker, which will throttle the card up for 3D, and down for 2D. It's also got a little Atitool overclocker, that will find your max gpu/mem speeds. You can load profiles very easy, and there are a hundred different registry tweaks. You can also adjust memory timings.

Overall, Tray Tools is the most versatile Ati tool.

Well if it can bring back the fog I'll check that program out. Thanks.
