While RTGI is demanding, the 01702 release includes optimizations that help maintain high-quality lighting at a slightly reduced performance cost compared to previous beta iterations. How to Apply the RTGI 01702 Release Fix

Extract the contents of the 01702 release zip directly into your ReShade installation directory.

Use the RTGI (Diffuse) Guide for specific settings on smoothed and textured normals to hide blocky geometry.

A completely blank, blue, or gray screen when viewing the lighting debug channel.

Lower the to around 2.0 (from the default 4.0 ) to reduce "light pollution" on the UI and HUD elements.

: Improved how light bounces off transparent or semi-opaque surfaces, preventing the "glowing" artifact sometimes seen on water or glass textures.

Many modern built-in graphics options inject visual data directly into the frame buffer, which scramble ReShade's ability to read clean depth lines. Disable these specific settings in your game's options menu to restore order:

Dynamic Resolution Scaling (DRS) frequently breaks RTGI because the shader relies on a consistent pixel input for its ray marching steps. When DRS is active, the internal resolution shifts in real-time, causing the RTGI lighting to "stutter" or misalign.
