Path vs PGI

[Endorphine]

Hello! Maybe i do something wrong but i get very different and less realistic (in my opinion) result when i use PGI cash.
The scene is very simple. All PGI settings i left by defult.

without cash

with cash

As you see in this scene PGI gives very dark gradient on the sphere. Is it normal?
I use luxcore 2.5.

It is hard to say without knowing all settings: can you post the test scene ?

When i try to attach blend file i get a messege that it is too large.
This is direct link on blend file: https://my-files.su/Save/4d2ree/blend.blend

Also i tried to render this scene on my second PC and cash works fine.

Unfortunately, LuxCore didn't use Unicode. I don't know why, but maybe devs can explain details of it. Also textures and hdri's can't be loaded if path contains russian symbols.

К сожалению LuxCore не использует юникод. Я не знаю почему, ведь сам блендер вполне ок с этим, может разработчики пояснят этот вопрос. Текстуры и hdri'ки тоже не грузятся, если в пути есть русские символы.

As far as I know, LuxCore can: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2197

There may be something in between to not encode the string in UTF-8.

Is there any way to fix it or help with it?

You must have some kind of error message inside the log and you can also post a test scene showing the problem.
