Indiana Jones und der Große Kreis: Erstes Update ist da und bringt Grafik-Feature, das zum Early Access-Start noch gefehlt hatte

Pünktlich zum Release-Tag haben Bethesda und MachineGames den ersten Patch für das Indy-Spiel veröffentlicht und eine Funktion hinzugefügt, die in der Testversion noch gefehlt hatte.

Indiana Jones und der Große Kreis hat das erste große Update bekommen. Indiana Jones und der Große Kreis hat das erste große Update bekommen.

Der 9. Dezember ist das offizielle Release-Datum von Indiana Jones und der Große Kreis und pünktlich dazu haben Bethesda und Entwickler MachineGames den ersten Patch für das Action-Adventure veröffentlicht. Wenn ihr das Spiel startet, sollte sich das Update automatisch installieren.

Die größte Neuerung ist ein Grafik-Feature, das in der Early Acccess-Version (Start am 6. Dezember) noch gefehlt hatte und das allerdings auch entsprechende Hardware-Voraussetzungen fordert.

Path-Tracing-Unterstützung als große Neuerung

Laut Bethesda bringt das Update für Indiana Jones und der große Kreis "Full Ray Tracing", womit vor allem Path-Tracing gemeint ist.

Was ist Path-Tracing? Ähnlich wie bei Ray-Tracing handelt es sich hierbei um eine Technologie für die korrekte Berechnung von Lichtstrahlen, die allerdings von einer Lichtquelle in einer Spielwelt produziert und dem sichtbaren Bildausschnitt angeglichen werden.

Bislang wird Path-Tracing nur von bestimmten nVidia-Grafikkarten unterstützt, es wird zudem angemerkt, dass die eigene Hardware-Konfiguration mindestens über 12GB VRAM verfügen muss. Dementsprechend ist das Grafik-Feature auch ausschließlich der PC-Version vorbehalten.
