RTGI v0.17.02 Release: Stability and Accuracy Fixes for Path Tracing

Release Date: February 2024 (Legacy Update)

Legacy Version: As of 2026, version 0.17.0.2 is considered extremely outdated. The shader has progressed through numerous iterations (e.g., versions 0.33, 0.36, and beyond), which offer significantly better accuracy, performance, and features. rtgi 01702 release fixed

Step 3 – Install ReShade (if not already)

1. Download ReShade 6.1.0 or newer from reshade.me.
2. Run the installer, select your game’s executable, choose DirectX 10/11/12 (or Vulkan, depending on your game).
3. When asked for effect packages, uncheck everything temporarily—we will add RTGI manually.

• Temporal stability regression – Restored previous temporal accumulation quality, removing ghosting introduced in 0.1701.
• Shader compilation stutter – Fixed redundant recompilation when toggling RTGI in-game.
• Vulkan backend crash – Resolved a descriptor set binding error on certain AMD Radeon GPUs.

Legacy Hardware Compatibility: While primarily intended for modern GPUs, this "fixed" version optimized the shader's footprint, making it more viable for users on older NVIDIA or AMD architectures. How to Install and Optimize Download ReShade 6
