How to "fix" HDR and Depth of Field (blurry font/distant objects)

[IDKFA]

Someone in another thread mentioned I should add this so here goes, lets see how fast it gets to page 20...

First, here are side by side comparison pics for your consumption (sorry I'm old, I don't share pictures often):

Please note the "STOCK" vs. "TWEAKED" file names, tweaked is obviously after the below addition(s).

Here is where you go to edit the necessary file:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\CallistoProtocol\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

This is the file you open:
Engine.ini

Here are the tweaks to add to the bottom of your Engine.ini file:
[SystemSettings]
# Fix washed HDR to be more true Black
r.TonemapperFilm=0
r.TonemapperSharpening=2
r.Tonemapper.GrainQuantization=0 ;Disables film grain
r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=2
# Fix Depth of Field so it is not a fuzzy mess
r.DepthOfField.FarBlur=2
r.DepthOfFieldQuality=2
r.FastVRam.BokehDOF=0
r.FastVRam.CircleDOF=0
r.FastVRam.DOFSetup=0
r.FastVRam.DOFSetup=0
r.DOF.Kernel.MaxBackgroundRadius=0.0000
r.DOF.Kernel.MaxForegroundRadius=0.0000
r.FastVRam.DOFPostfilter=0
r.FastVRam.DOFReduce=0
r.DynamicRes.OperationMode=0
r.DynamicRes.MinScreenPercentage=100

[/script/engine.renderersettings]
r.LandscapeLODBias=2
r.MipMapLODBias=2

Is there anyway to ease this off by like 30-40%? It's better than stock but I'm finding the darkness going well beyond reasonable in a lot of spots. Could also be because I'm not using RT lighting but there are spots where some light should be reaching but it's just BLACK as hell.

LG CX OLED panel

SURPRISE! Like every OTHER bug in this game, YES what I did was ended up turning up the in-game brightness by about 10 cilcks (it's about half way between the right vertical line in the Brightness menu) but because of a bug you have to do this every time you load the game. I haven't found a way to automate this with an Engine or GameUserSettings tweak so it may be locked by the dev.

I'd upload another screenshot but because it takes me 10 minutes to do that just give it a try but don't forget to adjust that slider each time.

Hope this helps!

Sick I'll give it a shot tomorrow.

I also did the Windows HDR calibration tool on my screen and it helped a bunch in general but in the game too.

Thanks much better now!

You can also use this to get perfect HDR.

This fixes black level raise and to dark lighting in general (with settings for an OLED display).

https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/284

Settings:
Hdr_Fix_adapt
Luminosity: 0
Shadows: -0,250
Saturation: 1.3
Dont change Cyan, Magenta and Yellow.

In-game settings:
800 nits (LG CX OLED cant show higher HDR brightness)
Brightness slider: All the way to the right and than 20 clicks left (10 clicks to the right from neutral).

Display: 65" LG CX Oled.

HDR is perfectly fine in the game.Lowering black level will only result in crushed black.

I have found more appealing color grading with:

[SystemSettings]
r.Color.Mid=0.32
r.Color.Min=0

Than completely disabling with "r.TonemapperFilm=0"

This is perfect, ty!
