Question about RT hidden graphic settings

[gpkgpk]

Nope, nope nope.
This was never true and this is the second time debunking it today.
This was never true and was just bad info that went virals because some people are still repeating it one year later.
If you do those silly tweaks in those erroneous guides you google you’ll end up fiddling with static lighting (nothing RT related) and some maps sections may be unplayably dark.
Leave the RT and lighting settings alone unless you know what you’re doing and what the consequences are, search these forums for more user posts on it.

There is one exception to this and it is the setting called “rtxgi_scale”. This setting while controlling the quality of the dynamic rtxgi if rtxgi_enabled = true will also control the quality of the baked rtxgi if the setting baked_ddgi = true (the setting called “Global Illumination” under advanced settings). When you set rtxgi_scale to 0 that means that the baked rtxgi will also be off. While this will give you better framerate, and might be another reason for following the guides gives you better framerate, some levels that rely highly on this baked global illumination for their looks will become excessively dark as they will lack sufficient light contribution in heavily occluded areas. This is the reason why we decided to not support turning off Global Illumination from the settings menu as it makes some levels almost unplayable due to the darkness for which we have no suitable fallback.
