Unable to Install Rage 2
I am lucky that I have not encountered this issue, but a lot of people are having hard time with this one. And if you are among them, then you need to move further.
If you are unable to install the game, then make sure you do not have your anti-virus software turn off because generally what happens is that your antivirus software hampers the installation of new gaming software. If you want to turn it off, then go to settings and search for anti-virus software, there you will find the toggle button to turn it off. After turning off the anti-virus try installing the game again. Once you have installed your game successfully you can turn on your antivirus software.
Secondly, if this step is not applicable for you then check whether the CD drive through which you are installing your game is having issue. Sometimes the marks/ scratches on the DVD will cause the error in installation. So, check the DVD. It should not be corrupted. If it is, then get new DVD and reinstall the game.
And if you are downloading the file using iso image and then you must check your iso image. Corrupted iso image also create issues. You can download new one from the official website. Wipe off the corrupted data and then install the new game.
Lastly, you can try rebooting your PC. Most of the windows errors are fixed just by rebooting the system.
Rage 2 Crashes on Launch
All the issues related to crashes are mostly because of the outdated drivers. Check whether your media drivers are updated. If they are not, then download the updated drivers from the official website of the game and install it. And then test again. You can download the updated drivers from the belowofficial sites –
Download Nvidia Card drivers / Download AMD ATI Card drivers
If the game is still failing, then you have to update the DirectX and then restart the game. Surely these steps will fix the issue.
Turning off the UAC
Sometimes the game is unable to install due to the fact that UAC is on. UAC is called User Access Control and hamper the installation of software from unknown sources. Turing off UAC will work here.
