A console variable I set does nothing: Most likely the feature is compiled out. VITE_RT_PSO_DEBLOAT defaults to 1 and removes the shader permutations for RTXDI, path tracing, ray-traced translucency, caustics and per-pixel ray-traced GI. The variables still set; nothing renders. See Compile-Time Switches.
A feature is missing from the editor: Check whether its plugin is enabled. Most bundled plugins default to off — see Bundled Plugins.
The build fails on a fresh clone: Usually a toolchain mismatch or missing .NET Framework 4.5 reference assemblies. See Build Troubleshooting.
Shaders behave as though my change did not happen: Stale cache. See Cache Management.
