The option to enable path tracing doesn't show up

I’m using version 3.1 on a new laptop that has an Intel 9 and an RTX 3050, and the option to enable path tracing doesn’t show up. I have a desktop PC that I’ve had for a couple of years and it does have path tracing since when it came out I already had the program installed and just updated it. This time I downloaded the program as new and tried configuring it both externally and internally, and neither has worked to see the path tracing option since it doesn’t appear.

Hi @arqguillermotapia

It is enabled by default now; it has been since 2.11. :saluting_face:

How can I download an older version? The one I downloaded (version 3.1) isn’t showing it.

Hi @arqguillermotapia

As mentioned, Path Tracing is enabled by default in versions 2.11, 3.0, and 3.1.


Previous versions can be downloaded from this link: Download Historical Versions of D5 Render - Get Help - D5 RENDER FORUM

But I’m not seeing any reason as to why you need to downgrade if the only concern is how to enable Path Tracing. :thinking:


I have version 3.1.1, and I don’t have the route tracking option.

Thanks for the link to download older versions, but here’s what happened: I downloaded version 2.10, and yes, it lets me use path tracing—the option to enable it is there. After verifying that, I updated and switched back to version 3.1, but once I did, path tracing disappeared; for some reason, this keeps happening to me.

The image is from version 2.10; if I update, path tracing disappears.

This is not an issue. Please check my previous reply. Thank you.
