Advanced SSR only for RayTracing PC?! (Even with RT reflections off)

[Alleluja2000]

So it looks like advanced SSR is only avilable if you turn RT on, EVEN if you're not using RT reflections. (and it's also disabled on Uber+ settings)

It doesn't make any sense - Why not allow people to use advanced SSR WITHOUT enabling ray tracing? It would improve image for those who can't/don't want to use RT on their PCs.

(all screenshots at Uber+ Settings, DLSS quality)

Some of SSR is wokring no metter if you set it to Low (disabled) or High (enabled) in settings, but there is no visual differences. It's very poor effect and depends mostly by the daytime (from engle sun drop light on water) but it's visable.
For sure it's note Advanced SSR that's why it's seems to be broken.

(in user.settings file SSR Low means SSREnable=false, and High means =true).
i made screen in DX12 Mode, but results are the same in DX11.

Yeah, that's what I noticed. SSR is on but it's very poor quality. Even on Uber+.
In order to get high quality SSR you have to turn on Ray Tracing... which is so freakin weird. At this point you might try RT reflections anyway.
I have no idea why CDPR didn't put HQ SSR as an option OUTSIDE of RT. I'd love to turn off RT for performance but enable HQ SSR to remedy lack of RT reflections.

Funny, it's look like CDP didn't implemented SSR effect from The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project, Halk Hogan made SSR better then in Next Gen update... whats else is missing?

Good to hear that Halk Hogan made announcement to NG update of his mod 31.12.2022!

I just installed new Hotfix v2 and SSR is seems to be better now but still not like HD Reworked quality.
Still i don't see any differences between Low and High SSR, but overall now looks quite good.
Sadly still now HBAO+ option =/...

I just installed new Hotfix v2 and SSR is fixed, no metter of day time.
Still i don't see any differences between Low and High SSR, but overall now looks quite good.
Sadly still now HBAO+ option =/...



I can't find this fix on SSR, can you give me a link, there are so many files there, I don't know which one will fit

Sorry mate but you're wrong. HQ SSR is still ONLY on when using Ray Tracing.
Stop looking at just water in perfect weather (tho it's still much worse than HQ SSR), go into the Novigrad, stand next to a paddle and turn on/off RT (without RT reflections). With RT on all puddles and water in general will use high quality SSR, with RT off high quality SSR is turned off as well.
