Failure initializing ray tracing

+
I submitted a refund request through steam since you put the game on sale and tricked me into purchasing it instead of fixing a bug thats been present for over a year.

to quote a random user i found struggling with this exact issue a year ago:

none of these fixes worked for me and I'm getting so mad. 116 hours played fine before Phantom Liberty and now I can't even launch the game.

the fixes listed effectively pretended that literally everyone having this crash to desktop at launch were at fault and not the fault of a poor patch.

What a joke. its NOT a user error or graphics driver issue its a you cant QA literally anything issue as developers.

also beware that cd project reds vomit inducing launcher tells steam that the game is running while youre trouble shooting as to try to block a refund via the 2 hour timer
 
I would recommend starting with Microsoft's Visual C++ All-in-One.

Install the x86 version followed by the x64 version. (Do not install the ARM64 package; that's for app development -- not needed.)

Please, list your specs, for example:

Ryzen 5600X
16 GB DDR5 RAM
Nvidia RTX 3060, 12 GB VRAM
500 TB Western Digital M.2 SSD (Windows)
1 TB Samsung EVO 860 SSD (Game installation here)
1 TB Western Digital HDD (backup and storage)
 
This worked for me. I had the Raytracing Initzaltion issue which shut down the game on startup.

I first installed the packages from @SigilFey's post

Then followed the steps @LeKill3rFou

I believe it turned out to be the outdated Graphic drivers which was causing the issue. Since i switched from a 1070 TI to a 3070

Thanks alot!
