Check out the A new Brigade 2 Engine Tech Demo Video. This demo is the Game Release Party version of the student game "It's About Time" and is playable on NVidia hardware only. This tech ... It's About Time trailer Technology Trailer Showing Real-Time Path RayTracing
Boots up with some errors and then opens a new window that blackscreens/does not respond. This happens for both demos.
Hilbert, itsn´t a problem about compute capability. I have the same problem that Hopeful, and I have a graphic card with the required compute capabilities. About the ZIP archive of the download link, you said about it: "This release comes with three demos (including source code), and includes a 64-bit build of the engine, which allows for larger scenes and textures." In the ZIP archive, it has only two folders with programs (???). Something is wrong with the linked archive in guru3d, Hilbert.
Reupped file is from bikker's website post in April - just a version update of the code. But the previous file you had on here was the Brigade demo posted in January. Maybe you should bundle them ?
Hilbert, this file doesn´t contain any executable. It has a collection of dlls and source code, but any exec file. It´s the same file that is in http://igad.nhtv.nl/~bikker/, and in this web describes the file as: Latest version of the Brigade 2 engine: click to download the package. Libraries, headers and examples which allow you to build your own projects using Brigade 2. It´s for building/compiling the engine. In this same site is the "correct" link: http://igad.nhtv.nl/~bikker/files/AboutTime%20R1.zip BUT it´s a BROKEN link.:3eyes:
I can run demo (not "It's About Time" but yes dragon "specular") without any problems running Win7 x64 with i5-2500K and GTX 480-296.10WHQL. I can't do download "It's About Time" demo yet due to error "404: not found"...
Maybe something to do with the version of CUDA? check if you have a message like: failed to locate "TraceropenCL.dll " .. or something similar

This issue is not only "his issue", it´s the same issue for me. It could be related with the GTX 600 geforces. And for the "game", "It´s about time", this isn´t in the file linked by guru3D. It containes other demos with early versions of the engine.
Great news! New link http://igad.nhtv.nl/~bikker/files/abouttime.zip due to link broken in OP. screenshot: MOD EDIT - link removed - please use a different imagehost, ie. one that doesn't link to porn images :wanker: My GTX 480 worked and gets ~15 fps avg (~8 fps min) at max samples settings ("ingame") this demo running Win 7 x64 and 296.10WHQL (HQ).
