[FIXED in latest update] HDR non-compliance makes this game unplayable

[Marshman_DnB]

HDR 10bit, 4K, AMD 7900XTX.

The game displays completely washed out as if gamma is set to max, no way to turn off HDR in-game or even adjust it to something that looks even remotely acceptable. I still havent been able to even begin playing this game due to the HDR implementation looking absolutely terrible.

I don't care about workarounds like 'turn off HDR in windows' there is 0 good reason why you should have to do that for a AAA game.

Devs please give this some attention, HDR standards exist for a reason!

Nope. That's a literal Capcom problem as factually confirmed by Xrite.

I have 2x HDR screens. A VA and an OLED. It's working perfectly on both of them, it's not washed out, it has great specular highlights, flames and magic look bright like LED lights flying around. I don't really care what someone somewhere says when I can see it with my own eyes. It's a you problem.

Some big L takes in this thread. Just because you are not having the same issue, doesn't mean that I and other people aren't.
Every other game in my library displays normally with HDR on.

This is a Capcom defect to fix, plain and simple. 7900XTX 4K/HDR 10bit/144hz displays totally in a range of super overexposed light grey to bright white. It is unplayable even with Custom colour settings in Adrenaline

[Marshman_DnB]

This is also not something that can be fixed with any kind of post processing, the output signal dynamic range appears to be about <10% of what it should be

Indeed. Lot's of games today with shoddy HDR support; works on some configs and not others.

There are so many combinations of Operating Systems, GPUs, and Displays that it is sheer arrogance (or ignorance) when people shout, "Derp! Werks for meeee! Ur computer is buzted and you know nuthin!"

I will say, Win11 seems to have much better HDR support than Win10, but it's still hit and miss.

As a prime example, Battlefield 2042 broke their HDR implementation with patch 4.2.0 and it took 1 year for them to fix it!

[Marshman_DnB]

Yeah its quite disappointing this wasnt tested. Think I'll refund the game tbh. Hopefully there will be a fix soon and I can buy it again

This, ppl that claims its a user problem have no clue what they are talking about. Also Win 11 HDR have a LOT of bugs and you normaly turn it of when you use calibrated monitors because they just deliver unsteady colors. Try it with a colorimeter and you acutally can see how the spectrum change every round for no reason.
If you use calibration you also have no reason to even think to turn this ♥♥♥♥ on because when the monitor support it you can just apply the profile and have true colors. I dont get it why ppl buy Monitors for 1k+ and unwiilling to get a colorimeter for 100 bucks, because the random settings sucks on every single one (beside CAD Monitors or something but the price tag is higher than many systems).

Yes, Some people have issues so that means nobody is allowed to say they're not having issues. That's how it works on the internet with a bunch of screechers.
If you read the thread you'll see that the people saying it's working for them fine have Nvidia GPUs and a fair few of the ones saying it's not working all have AMD GPU's,
Maybe it's a GPU driver issue rather than evil Nvidia owners spoiling your daily tear session.

Try the windows HDR calibration tool

Xrite is a factual tool and doesn't care about your commander shepard special eyes. It's also been used to calibrate a 12bit artist production content model and you're factually the ♥♥♥♥ wrong.

Does explain why your enb is basically

the screen though.

[Marshman_DnB]

Still no word from Capcom on this issue as far as I'm aware, and Steam won't let me refund even though the game is unplayable. Pretty poor post launch support on this game so far

[Amon]

Many ppl said HDR was fixed on the last update

[Zanzibar]

HDR looks fantastic on c2 with 4080... it does sound a bit like this is an AMD specific problem. Sorry that doesn't help you but it must be fixable by Capcom or AMD surely if they get their finger out.

[Red Hefner]

HDR has worked perfectly, every single time i've played the game from day one.

Doesn't look washed out at all.

I have 2x PCs. (4090 and 3090) and 2x HDR screens (OLED and VA) HDR works fine on both PCs and both screens. Cry all you want, it changes nothing. Mine works and yours doesn't.

As others said, looks great on my LG OLED. Black levels are proper, highlights are bright, and the HDR really compliments the fantastic lighting in this game.
