Rtgi 01702 Release Fixed ((full)) -
The depth map coordinates are inverted, flipped, or upside down.
Players utilizing high-end shader setups alongside extensive ReShade presets frequently experienced game crashes or infinite loading screens during scene transitions. This was traced back to an issue with how the shader allocated VRAM memory textures on startup.
To appreciate the fixes implemented in RTGI 0.17.0.2, it helps to understand how the shader gathers information. Unlike native engine ray tracing, which possesses data for the entire 3D world geometry, post-processing tools like ReShade rely purely on the depth and color buffers available on your screen.
Ray tracing is highly demanding on hardware. In early 0.17 builds, enabling high ray counts caused significant frame-time spikes. Thanks to the math optimization and structured branching logic added in 0.17.0.2, frame times became much more stable.

Released in , version 0.17.0.2 was a critical beta update in the shader's development cycle. It primarily functioned as a bug-fix and stability release following the major 0.17 rollout.
The 0.17.0.2 release wasn't just a minor tweak; it was a "fix-it" update aimed at core stability. Here is what changed: Refined Denoiser Logic
: Off-screen or hidden light sources cast ambient color shifts depending on camera orientation. The depth map coordinates are inverted, flipped, or
Your screen will split. One side shows a normal map (usually blue/purple); the other side displays the depth buffer.

: Improved the denoiser to better handle noise in low-light scenes without losing significant sharp detail. UI/UX Refinements To appreciate the fixes implemented in RTGI 0
Fixes for light leaking or "ghosting" artifacts that were prevalent in earlier 0.16.x versions. Important Notes for Users
No software is perfect. The fixed RTGI 01702 still has limitations to be aware of:
The shader would misinterpret depth maps, resulting in halos, light bleeding, or shadows rendering in front of objects rather than behind them.
