Special driver for Ratchet and Clank from AMD

It took some time, but the game now supports ray tracing with Radeon GPUs. Earlier this month, AMD released a special version of the driver that addressed the ongoing issues with the ray tracing acceleration, but only with today’s game patch is the ray tracing fully enabled for these GPUs. As a result of today’s update, official game recommendations were also updated to ‘reflect’ the update with official AMD support.

In this update, ray-traced reflections and shadows have received visual enhancements. Additionally, a crash that took place specifically when playing the game on older CPUs has been successfully resolved.

Furthermore, several visual glitches have been addressed, including the occasional appearance of corrupted text on waypoints. Visual distortions on UI screens, particularly affecting certain AMD and Intel GPUs, have also been tackled.

Moreover, user experience has been refined with the removal of a bug causing the armor list to jump back to the top after selecting an armor item. As part of ongoing efforts to enhance gameplay, various bugs have been fixed, and stability and performance optimizations have been implemented.
