Rtgi 01702 Release Fix [portable] Jun 2026

: In the ReShade "Add-ons" tab, check "Copy depth buffer before clear operations" if the lighting effects are flickering or missing.

This paper explores the technical implementation and iterative refinement of the Ray Traced Global Illumination (RTGI) rtgi 01702 release fix

This update includes refined logic for depth data handling, which is crucial since RTGI relies solely on depth data to work on non-RTX hardware. This helps eliminate temporal lag and flickering during high-speed motion. Why This Matters : In the ReShade "Add-ons" tab, check "Copy

rtgi-cli state reset --force --ignore-dependencies : In the ReShade "Add-ons" tab

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

RTGI 0.17.0.2 update is a specific beta release of the Ray Traced Global Illumination shader for ReShade, developed by Pascal Gilcher

RTGI is notoriously hardware-intensive, often causing a 15% to 26% performance hit depending on whether diffuse and specular effects are active.
