High-dynamic-range rendering not working?
With windows HDR off it is too dark and just looks too black with HDR on it is even darker.
What is this setting supposed to do? I have a HDR1000 monitor.

I've also found I need to turn off windows HDR for DW2. Not sure why, but it's the only game I need to do that with.

When i play with HDR on , my mouse cursor is disappearing behind the backdrop and some combat effects look distorted. That happens whenever i go to setting to change any of the settings.

EDIT: it seems it was a directX 11 thing, if a change to vulkan, that doesnt happen.

HDR doesn't work at all in the traditional sense in this game, as usually my screen pops up 'HDR' when it gets an HDR signal from a game. That never happens here no matter the renderer used.

Never mind that with DX11 using the High Dynamic Range option causes extreme screen corruption when switching to another application like a browser.

And with either renderer, entering/exiting Settings also breaks the colours until next restart.
