Hello,
I have been using raytracing features in my scene for reflections and ambient occlusion.
It works very well in the editor, but when I make a build, the effects dont show.
Can anyone help me with this problem? Do I have to activate something special for making a build work with Raytracing?
If it’s working in editor, you shouldn’t have too activate anything more for it to show in build
Which Unity engine and HDRP version are you using ?
Did you try making a development build to see if there’s any errors showing that would prevent RTX effects from displaying ?
Thanks for your reply.
Yes I tried to make a Dev build. I can’t seem to find a log file in the application folder. It should be in the data folder of the build app right?
If there’s some errors on your project, you will be able to see them on the console directly on screen on your build.
If there’s nothing, could you send a small repro on your issue or create a bug report so I can take a look at it ?
On Windows 10 Unity 2020.1.2f1
My steps to recreate this:
Attached you see a screenshot from within the editor and one of the build.
I use a GTX 2070 Super.
I just tried your steps with 2020.1.2f1 and the only way I managed to NOT have RTX effects in player is if I left my architecture to x86.
Using x86_64 solves this problem on my side
Do you build in x86 by any chance ?
Thank you for checking, than thats probably it!
When I try to build with x86_64 I get several errors.
Its probably something with the Windows SDK, im gonna check.

I’ll double check if we don’t have any issue with IL2CPP on this version but as a workaround, you can try to build a player with mono, see if that helps.
I’ll make sure the 64 bits thingy is mentioned in the documentation.
@chap-unity thank you very much, it’s now working fine! It only works with x86_64, you are right.
I think there something weird, because I installed IL2CPP with unityhub together with the 2020 install of Unity.
I removed the Windows SDK from my computer and installed it again from the windows website.
It now works fine.
@chap-unity Things still not in the documentation 
Hey @RadonRaph , what we did for this one is divided in two :
Thoses two things are in the next 10.1 HDRP package that should be out in the next few days.
