HDR only works when it's on windowed mode.

[Dillterrorcreed]

For some reason, the HDR in this game doesn't work whenever I try to set the game to Fullscreen or Exclusive Fullscreen mode. It only works whenever I'm in windowed mode.
I've disabled AutoHDR and tried to use Special K to no avail. With SK, the moment I try to set the game to Borderless Fullscreen, the HDR just doesn't work anymore and goes back to using SDR. Has this happened to someone else?

Do you have multiple monitors by any chance?

I have 2. Standard IPS that is cheap with fake HDR option and true HDR oled

My question was directed to OP. and I've had issues with HDR before when i have my 2nd or 3rd monitor still turned on with so was going to suggest him to turn off his secondary or tertiary monitor if he has one.

this monitor doesnt have true hdr its VA. forget about enabling it. only oleds for now has them

Mini Led also

yeah but its more like half fake half true HDR. they still cannot turn off every pixel - they have zones. and bcoz of that, they have some kind of backlight bleeding or something like that. not sure how to describe that. its especially visible when lets say watching some tv show with white subtitles on black background. thats why i wouldnt call it true HDR

Thank you. I'm going to try that out and let you know if it worked.

I had the exact same weird problem with HDR on Fullscreen witth my AW2527df OLED. Now I fix it for me . Maybe it´s work for you to.

Try realy every step form the HDR max Brightness slider settings in game .
On my Monitor its Exactly 897 . Just wehn i put it to for example to 896 or 898 than HDR is not working correct. Try it from 100 to 1500 in single steps .

good luck .

no issues for me, dual monitor setup, i play on my alienware aw3423dwf oled and hdr looks good and works both in fullscreen and windowed.
There are some issues with the ingame max brigthness slider though, on some steps it washes out the image, on others it's completely fine, i hope nixxes fixes hdr issues (like paper white setting only affecting UI)

up - hdr works in fulscreen mode on some strange values like 897, 1236 and so on (no actual patternn just some random values works and some - are not), i ve found like 4 of them, or so. now THIS is strange

sorry to tell you but HDR 400 is barely what we can call HDR and many program dont recognize it

Dude, I'm literally telling you that it does work but only on windowed mode. The game recognizes that I can use HDR, I can activate it and I can notice the difference between the two when it's on windowed and fullscreen mode.

i think what he means is HDR400 is the bare minumum to get HDR certification, and its not really "true" HDR anyway. Which is actually true. in order to get actual real HDR you have to have a panel that is at minumum HDR1000 certified, and that has local dimming. the number is the lumens/brightness the panel can support. HDR400 is pretty much only slightly brighter then SDR.

Not knocking your monitor, my benq is also only HDR400, but im just stating the facts. There are very few actual true HDR monitors on the market sadly, and they are very expensive. That being said, my "HDR" works fine on my monitor.

[Bendy52]

also Windows 10 is funky when it comes to HDR, one of the actual few reasons to switch to 11 is if you are an HDR user, and sometimes drivers gets fishy and HDR stops working, i had issue a while back with Age of empires 4 where HDR stopped working until i did a fresh install of a new driver and it was back to normal, HDR was working in other games meanwhile. but yeah if your monitor is HDR 400 only .....in my humble opinion just stick to SDR.

I understand your point, and I know a lot of people don't consider HDR400 true HDR. My monitor has a peak of 550, and I've tested it with many games and I can see the difference between 400 peak and 600 peak. It's also way better than my last 250 peak brightness monitor that I used to game on.
The thing is, his comment is completely wrong since GoT has been the ONLY program where I've had this issue happening. Not only that, I've already stated that HDR for this game DOES work whenever I play on Windowed mode, which is what's weird.

I know what you mean, my monitor is definitely not top-tier, but it's not my monitor's fault. It's the game's, and I've already finished the game and its DLC on windowed mode. So much for waiting for a patch lol.

have you tried to submit a support ticket about the issue? i did for the broken slider of peak brightness, our best hope is to reach them directly and point the issue, your log files and stuff might help them with this specific case.

Yep, I did, and they answered me to say they had fixed it for the last patch but it's still the same for me, but since I've already finished it, I didn't care about replying them again.

This is hilarious because I'm experiencing this exact issue in another game (Battlefield 2042). In GoT HDR works correctly for me. Can someone explain WTF could be the reason? Found this thread via google search.

maybe clogged windows? like few years old windows install that got tons of updates and junks effect it?
are you on windows 10 or 11 btw?
