HDR looks awful

[Moonvalley]

MY TV is an LG C2 2022 OLED 120hz screen

With HDR on in the game, the blacks are still gray and the game looks pretty bad overall.

Literally no difference with HDR on and HDR off. Every other game i own it makes a huge difference in black levels.

Anyone else have this issue?

OLED or LCD?

I'm playing on a 65inch LG C1 and I notice a difference BUT without some TV calibration changes you don't get deep blacks but I think that's by design.

Change gamma levels, black levels and contrast on the display and hope for the best. I ended up changing settings enough that it was a bit less gray but not so much that I couldn't see anything anymore.

The HDR implementation does definitely make brights pop much better and there's richer color but the black levels definitely seem artificially raised but I assume it's to let the player actually see.

I'm going to try one of the console versions soon so I'll have a good point of comparison.


Hopefully the console version uses HGIG so I know 100% for sure if it's the games implementation or just PC HDR support being very... Meh. Well windows 11 now has a proper hdr calibration tool that unfortunately refuses to install on Win10.

LG C2 OLED uhd 120hz. TV

THe game just looks "bad" like it's too bright in dark scenes. i play the original Dead Space and it looks fantastic.

HDR implementation looks bad in-game. Developers still need to release another patch to address HDR color space.

Use this and fix black level raise and to dark lighting in general (with settings for an OLED display). HDR looks fantastic now.

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. Using Hgig.

Yes, the developer should fix the game, but at least on PC, we can do something ourselves (consoles have the same problem).

For me it looks great. 1000 setting in hdr, Got a Acer x35 Predator monitor.

I found it looked washed out. I ended up turning it off.

you don't know what you're talking about...
the game has a problem, black is not black and if you fool it somehow you lose a lot in the specular highlight.

HDR is broken on all versions of this game, no matter the platform. Best to just play in SDR.

That is one of many aspects of this game that is broken tbh.

You dont have to play in SDR. See my post above. It will give you fantastic HDR.

Its quite easy to fix, so its strange that the developer havnt fixet it yet. Maybe they dont even have an HDR capable display in their office???
