Does the PC version has HDR ?

[Dreambox]

I heard online that the game has HDR but I haven't found any option to toggle it

I did try to enable HDR on the W10 control panel and then launch the game, but then the game just refused to launch and got stuck during the initial loading with only the sound playing in the background

does anyone managed to make HDR work ?

HDR works on my end after enabling it in windows display settings. It also seems to be a good implementation with various settings to tweak it for your specific hardware. Hope you can get it working too.

Restarted my PC and now it worked, and indeed it does look pretty good, with a lot of tweakable settings, which is pretty rare on PC !

I have an HDR monitor as well, but its strange that when HDR is turned on I just get this washed out grey screen. It is very odd its like its not detecting my monitor correctly or something.

Nice to see a game support (good) HDR on PC, instead of keeping it an exclusive feature for consoles.

Maybe it helps alt-tabbing a few times until it displays correctly?

Your monitor doesn't have good enough local dimming to provide a good representation of HDR. My Samsung G9 does the same thing, I just use a calibrator on my monitor and don't touch the HDR.

I had a similar issue in Hitman 2 though. Washed out grey usually means the software isn't displaying HDR while the hardware is on HDR mode.

It can help forcing the software into HDR. Either by going in and out of fullscreen a few time, or adjusting the on/off slider a few times. It's not easy to solve, but it can definitly be solved

I had exactly this problem, turns out I had to go into the config file, blackreefConfig.cfg, which can be found in %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Arkane Studios\Deathloop\base\ (from https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Deathloop ) , and change r_hdrMinScreenLuminance to "0". For me it had defaulted to 100, for some reason

See my reply just above this one for how I fixed this, might not work for you, but it's worth a go!
