Ok i am really disappointed now. I bought my RTX cards since it seemed Otoy would have something near to finish. They showed the first RTX stuff running ages ago. I know.. nobody forced me to buy it.

When the first 2019.2 RC was released i upped my license by paying 400 something EUR ... thinking it wouldt take much more time.

Meanwhile even IRAY supports RTX :rollingeyes:.

They were first to tease RTX accelerated rendering but last to release it? Really? What makes me even angry is that nobody of OTOY shows up to drop a few words about what is going on.

Its feels like OTOY closed down and we are the only ones not to know about it ...

Really .. thats no good way to treat paying customers ...

Looking back at this particular thread, it's near as dammit two months since an Otoy employee posted something here.

Now, that may not be an indication of anything, but for me this 'radio silence' is a little strange despite what some people on here say.

Hi, here is a life sign for what it's worth. Everyone is hard at work and focused on the next iterations. But all the feedback is read and help inform future decisions, keep it coming!

This is very good, just do not be silent and let the community know that this thing and this is being done now. Just so as not to accumulate negative.

I get crashes all the time with this XB2, as in PC Freezes and goes to that Blue Win 10 DPC Watchdog screen.
It seems to happen with random things, like moving a slider, loading a texture, copying and then pasting a texture.

I've seen this instability in many test versions before, but just wondering if anyone else sees this here too.
Don't know if it's my rig setup, where memory and GPU gives my CPU a heart attack suddenly.

I'm pleased to see a response from an Otoy guy, that's heartening...

@Notiusweb

I don't get DPC Watchdog screens when using 2019.2 XB2 (thank god) but I get application hangs when using AI Lights etc.

Guys/Gals -
I just figured it out....
Each night before you go to bed, chant the following 3 times when looking in a mirror:
"X-B-3....X-B-3....X-B-3"

This will stir the universe into motion in ways we cannot understand, buy which XB3 will come out sooner than otherwise if we had not chanted.

NOTICE - this will NOT work for "R-T-X...R-T-X....R-T-X..."

Guys, how about to add edge feather option to light medium like in Fog volume? Now it is useless. And need to do something with volume lights sampling. The noise of light never goes away.
