Windows 11 Auto HDR flickering

[Zareth]

Having windows auto HDR enabled while playing causes extremely distracting flickering. Usually in or close to forested areas, rectangles of washed out grayish portions of the screen appears, flickering in and out as you move the camera. Windows says this game is supported so not sure what is happening. I'd take a screenshot but attempting to do so fixes the issue while trying to take a screenshot.

Did you update your graphics drivers?

You could also try switching to DX11 to see if that fixes it for you: <escape> - settings - graphics - rendering mode - DX11 (Don't forget to accept changes at the bottom)

I did try updating drivers on both the graphics card and windows drivers but no change. Changed every setting I could in game including going to DX11 but unfortunately made no difference. Only turning off windows auto HDR does anything. Its a shame because the game looks great with HDR when its working correctly.

Ok! I figured it out. Turns out it was a bad HDMI cable. Very strange as the behavior only occurred in this game. But I put the game on my secondary monitor (Same model and everything) and it didn't exhibit the behavior. Swapped the HDMI cord of my primary monitor to a Display port cable and suddenly no issue.

Thanks for updating! Maybe it can help someone else as well.
