HDR still bugged?

[Mig]

I'm playing on a HDR tv and this game has the HDR bug out constantly. If I enable it the image is grey as if my TV didn't support HDR (it does). I tried launching the game with windows HDR option enabled and even disabled - both don't do anything. This never happens in any other game I launch with HDR support, only this one.

if your TV does not have windows driver with directx certification it is not a bug it is what it is, a TV not made for use with windows directx.

i recently started playing this game again after a long break and turned off hdr for streaming reasons, i turned it back on today and I'm getting it all washed out as well. Seems like it's a newer issue.

edit: just checked Days Gone and HDR detection works fine in that game.

When I start Elden Ring there's like a split second it's fine then it gets washed out. It's weird.

you can only enable HDR in full screen. I never use auto HDR. I tried just turning off windows HDR and enabling it in game but it just makes my screen dim and Elden Ring still has the washed out colour palate regardless.

I didn't have issues before but it seems like an update broke it. Again all my other games are fine.

It's never getting fixed. All that works for me, if you have multiple monitors, turn off the monitor you won't be using to play and restart the pc then launch the game. Sometimes it will work fine for that one time.

Happens in Sekiro too. And no, it's not an issue with "your tv". It's an absolute issue with the way it's implemented in-game.

No, it won't be fixed.

i only have one monitor but i just ended up trying restarting my pc and it works (i think). when i turn off HDR it has that washed out look which makes more sense i guess.

Restarting is the only available fix I've found that works. It'll start happening again in the future - seems opening certain other apps triggers the washed out look. So you'll have to repeat restarting your PC.

hex this is a direct evidence that it is not the game code that cause the problem

It only happens on elden ring and like the other person said, sekiro. Every other game I have with HDR works fine all the time.

even your problem is related to a computer setup problem and not the games code, so far elden ring is the only game at the moment that is using directx 12 api only, there is no direct connection of the game with the gpu driver like at dx11 games or games that use a direct connection to the gpu driver for hdr and raytracing.

And yet when this is happening to Elden Ring and Sekiro - I can open and turn on HDR in multiple other games and they work just fine.

I have never NEVER had to close down my entire PC just to get the HDR up and going again for any other game other than Elden Ring and Sekiro.

the problem is you have no clue about how to check what is going wrong, the evidence is clear a computer restart fix your problem means something at driver side is malfunctioning and only a restart of windows loads the driver again correctly until the driver malfunction again for what ever reason.

check if the problem disappear by deactivate fast start, if this is the case your GPU drivers directx HDR binding is the problem and fail at a fast start wake up.
