I cannot turn on the ray-traced shadow and it says false when I hover over the check box. does anyone know how to solve this?

To help i would need some more information. Is it in the directional light you try to change the setting? What graphics card do you have?
Can you send a screenshot of your screen?

I have two graphic cards but i’m not sure which one is being used.
The graphic cards are: AMD Radeon ™ Graphics, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU

the ray-traced shadow button is under the project setting, engine (rendering)

THank you for the information

It seems like your unreal engine doesn’t recognize the RTX card. Usualy the engine give you more settings for Hardware Ray Tracing (See image)

Another thing you need to make sure of is to use DirectX 12. Search for that option in project settings

More than that I recomend you to trouble shoot and make sure that UE uses your RTX card
