<ul>
<li>Stability improvements</li>
<li>Hitching improvements due to async shader management</li>
<li>Transmissivity of light through foliage</li>
<li>Several generic SW overhead reductions for RT setup</li>
<li>Better culling default for instanced static meshes (foliage)</li>
<li>Minor fixes for light culling in reflections</li>
<li>Substantial improvements in GI and path tracing performance with high light counts</li>
<li>Unreal Engine 4.25.4 Update</li>
</ul>
<p>There is also a experimental caustics branch with the following features:</p>
<ul>
<li>The new hybrid translucency mode</li>
<li>Multi-bounce refraction optimization</li>
<li>Based on the latest NVIDIA RTX Branch</li>
<li>Mesh and Water caustics feature</li>
</ul>
