Should you upgrade to RTGI 0.17.0.2?

Within 48 hours of release, the official Discord server saw over 1,200 messages. Early adopters are praising the reduction in flickering. Reddit user u/LightingGuru wrote: Some users have reported that the new Hybrid

"0.17.0.2 finally makes RTGI look like a proper lighting solution rather than a noisy effect. The temporal stability is night and day in motion. This is the version I’ve been waiting for since 0.12."

Some users have reported that the new Hybrid Roughness mode can cause slight oversaturation in very dark scenes. The developer has acknowledged this and suggests lowering the Indirect Lighting Boost slider from 1.0 to 0.85 for a more natural look.
