[Bug] Ray tracing doesn't work
Ray tracing doesn't work even when activated with a button, it simply doesn't change anything, not even a single beam of light, much less global illumination, it's simply a shame to say that it has compatibility and when we put it on we discover that they are making us look like fools....

RobbyBobWhen I activate Ray Tracing, the game looks the same or in some spots even worse, plus I lose fps. Icarus needs to fix the broken ray tracing.

XSAZAD1. As written above, absolutely nothing changes when RTX or RTXGI is enabled.
2. Loading is lengthened catastrophically. For example, the character selection screen with RTX enabled takes about 30 seconds to load, and if I add RTXGI - more than a minute. And without RTX about 1 sec.
It’s frustrating to sit looking at a black screen for a minute to realize after that nothing changed :) -

LeonmitchelliIt works, but not on things you expect to see. It have very subtle effect on lightning. It make colored and softer shadows on trees and rocks. It's hard to spot at first, but then when you turn off RTX - it became obvious that without it picture looks slightly worse.
Yes, it's not very effective and spectacular use of RTX. -

MundusFun fact, my GPU (4070ti) supports the RTX feature and still the Icarus settings UI doesn't allow me to toggle it on or off, it's grayed - and yes, I am running the game over DX12.

MundusIt works indeed, but the annoying fact is when you are using global lights and the RTX feature, the main screen and the select character screen took way more time to load than usual. When it's off, no more than 1 sec to load both - when it's on, it took like approx. 20~30 secs to load it, it's annoying but we can overcome this somehow.

SparrowhawkDevs please don't focus on this. Raytracing is a marketing gimmick from card makers. You've got bigger fish to fry.

JosephRay tracing is not a marketing gimmick lol.
Realistic Lighting:
Accurate Reflections
Better Shadows
Global Illumination
Transparency & Refraction
Summary (Why It Matters)
Ray tracing mimics the physics of real-world light, allowing for:
More immersive environments
Better mood and atmosphere
Fewer visual tricks and hacks
A sense that you’re looking into a real world, not just at a painted scene
Traditional graphics use pre-baked or screen-space reflections that are often inaccurate or incomplete.
Often times the tricks used to fake what Ray tracing can do are the "gimmicks" -

BobAt what point is this false advertisement? You showed GI affected caves and yet it still runs that stupid dark filter that blocks all light the second you cross a barrier by the entrance.
