| Problem | Likely Cause | Solution | |---------|--------------|----------| | Black screen or no GI | Wrong ReShade version | Use 4.9.1, not 5.x | | Flickering/boiling light | Screen-space + no denoiser | Increase ray length, lower intensity, or accept as style | | GI only near screen center | Screen-space artifact | Turn camera or accept limitation | | Crashes on launch | Depth buffer access | Enable in ReShade settings | | Objects glow incorrectly | Incorrect depth buffer | Use DisplayDepth shader to debug; adjust Depth Buffer in ReShade add-ons |
ReShade RTGI 0.33 (Ray Traced Global Illumination) shader by Pascal Gilcher (Marty McFly) is a transformative post-processing tool that brings modern path-traced lighting effects to almost any game with a depth buffer. While technically an approximation, version 0.33 represents a significant milestone in stability and features.

// Finalize output g_rwOutput[pixelCoord] /= g_iSamples; | Problem | Likely Cause | Solution |
// Get pixel coordinates uint2 pixelCoord = dt.xy; If shadows are too black (crushed), lower to 0
Would you like troubleshooting steps for a specific game or help finding a modern, free alternative to RTGI 0.33?
If shadows are too black (crushed), lower to 0.25 and increase "Ambient Boost" (found in the Global Preprocessor Definitions) to 1.2 .
