Why HDR look so bad?

[quang.billy.79]

Everything is greyed out and looks so bad, no matter what Brightness I choose.
Also, I noticed that if in-game HDR works, then my RTSS FPS Overlay text will turn red. I tested it with many games.
But in this game, the text just greyed out, which is a sign that HDR doesn't work I think.

Same for me if I use FSR sharpening on Deck

Well its a thing added by the PC port people not the devopers so the game is not properly made for it.

If you are on NVIDIA try their HDR. RTX HDR is great

Does your display support HDR? And if so, does your display actually support HDR?

By that second question I mean, if your display isn't an OLED or doesn't support at least 1000 nits peak brightness, it basically doesn't actually support HDR.

Also, Windows HDR is garbage and will probably never be fixed.

assuming you have a proper HDR display with all correct settings... in the english patch notes, they said HDR was added but the game's content was not originally authored for HDR, it was added so people can have the option without resorting to mods.

HDR on the deck is great

I had this issue with Elden Ring. The HDR absolutely does not look good in Daybreak, but if it's muting the colors and looking grey, that's because something is going wrong -- in my case, it was Windows' (11) in-system HDR setting. So if you've got that turned on, turn it off; if you've got it turned off, turn it on.

Hopefully that'll fix it for you. Or, at least, that's how I got Elden Ring's HDR to work properly with a similar issue.

RTX HDR is only way to get good looking HDR in this game, the native HDR just makes everything overly bright so characters skin loses all detail and looks like it's glowing
