Oi! Tudo bem?  
Conseguiu resolver? Estou com o mesmo problema… O “botão” do PathTracer não permite que eu o acione. E tudo indica que meu computador possui as características necessárias para suportá-lo.

A few days ago I installed Twinmotion 2025. But I got the message “Path Tracer is disabled because DX12 is disabled in the configuration panel.” When I went to the DX12 configuration panel, it showed it enabled. I uninstalled the program and installed an older version, Twinmotion 2023.2.4, and the same thing keeps happening to me. My computer has the necessary specifications to support it, and I don’t know how to fix it.
