RTX available at launch?

[Mark]

Will RTX be available tomorrow or at a later date?

[Rashura]

Hey @Mark, unfortunately RTX will not be available at launch, but we will support it in an upcoming patch soon!

[StarBound]

What RTX features will be implemented? DLSS and/or Ray tracing and if ray tracing which aspect thereof? Shadows, reflections, global illumination or a combination thereof?

[Torkar]

We'll support reflections and some lights will have raytraced shadows. Global illumination is something we're looking into but no promises on that yet.
DLSS has a lower priority and might come later.

Just bought the game, but will hold off of playing it till rtx features come. Looking forward to it!

Awesome! If you can wait for it, it does add that little extra bit of magic. ;)

There is a date for the RTX support?

Will it support refraction, like through water? I noticed in the "water level" there were none atm (didn't really expect that either). Sure it's a minor detail, I'm just curious.

There's a Quake II RTX version now that demonstrates raytracing (including refraction in water), and it can even run on "lowly" nVidia 10-series GPU's but with reduced performance (no hints intended, it's not like I expect this to run raytracing on 10-series..).

I have a GTX 1080 Ti, so I won't be able to see any RTX features on this game. At least not yet (But the game looks gorgeous anyway!).

So many thanks, great work!

So next week or the week after that?

[StarBound]

Any updates on the ray tracing patch yet? And out of curiosity do you have any way of measuring the amount of RT cores used when implementing ray tracing? Is there some way to see if it affects the amount of frames that can be rendered or if you can push for better ray tracing at a desired frame rate instead?

Like eg. 2060 renders 60fps with ray tracing and 2080ti renders 120fps with ray tracing or 60fps with double the quality?

[Torkar]

No updates yet! Still working on it!
We don't use any knowledge of what GPU you are using, since it really depends on the person that's playing what they want to prioritize. On might be fine with 30fps and better quality, and other want 120fps with less quality, we don't think it's completely fair if we make that decision. We will give choices which RayTracing effects you want to run the game with.

i'm waiting to play this game with RTX ON patiently.....

Last week of Oct. Would be nice to know if this will be in during Oct. as previously scheduled.
