Raytracing Greyed out

[woven orchid]

any idea why the ray-traced option is greyed out
using bettertx and vanillartx
vanilla enabled in global resources, also updated both of them
tried changing options.txt graphicsmode to 2
using bedrock launcher

using 4070

If you haven't played since the spring drop, that is why. You can only enable RTX when joining the world now, not from the main menu. Alternatively, you can get this github script to start the game with RTX enabled no matter what https://github.com/Cubeir/Vanilla-RTX/blob/master/LaunchMinecraftRTX.bat

Thank you, the script seems to have fixed it!

Do I only need to run that once or will I need to run it after every update?

I haven't personally used it, but I'm pretty sure you're going to need to use it everytime you launch for the time being? I could be wrong, some experimenting will have to be done 🫡

[woven orchid]

That appears to be correct

Ahh why did they do this lol

Maybe I'll change the shortcut to point to the script

Mojang breaks something about RTX every update :) it's so annoying mann

If you disable ray tracing before closing the game, yes, you should to turn it back on before the game is launched, via either the script or manually with options.txt
