HDR not activating in Beta/Benchmark

[ilinx]

I have an HDR capable display (G9 Neo Mini-LED), but neither the Beta nor the Benchmark seem to register it. I have the display in HDR mode before entering the game, but only the standard brightness options are available. Anybody else encountering this issue / found a fix for it? I have only seen a few people with this problem so far.

Same issue

Do you know how to configure your own GPU software?

[侍Kage]

make sure in game HDR setting is set to "automaticly enable". After that Brightness option changes to Brightness(HDR)

I have a 7900XTX. I'm not finding anything in AMD's software that would affect this, but do let me know if you're aware of a setting to mess with !

And Kage, I do have it set to automatically enable. Unfortunately the Brightness option doesn't change as you suggest.

HDR works just fine in MHW, for example. It seems that something is prohibiting Wilds from triggering it's own HDR mode.

I have the same thing as you and it seems to work but isn't correctly labeled in the Beta. Benchmark it's label'd correctly. I compared both brightness settings and they match up.

One of the only time's I like Windows 11 with it's auto HDR thing.

Huh, interesting. I'm hoping this is just a bug that gets ironed out for release or soon after. The game looks nice enough in SDR, but I want those highlights : )

I found that turning FreeSync Premium Pro off in my monitor’s settings finally allowed HDR to enable itself within the benchmark.

I have the same issue, even on full release and disabling FreeSync premium in the adrenaline software didn't change anything :(
Or did you disable it somewhere else?

Make sure HDR is turned on in Windows display settings before launching the game.

Im am by no means new to HDR gaming. It worked before on various other titles, but MH:Wilds detects my screen as a SDR monitor.
Its an issue with Radeon cards unfortunately

I found a much better solution than my initial one here:

Hopefully it works for you too !

I have the same issue. The only way I could make HDR to work was disabling Freesync in my Samsung G7 monitor. Disabling freesync in AMD Adrenaline did NOT work.

I also tried @ilix suggestion, but it made no difference changing the freesync settings in CRU.

OS: W11
GPU: AMD 7900 XTX

Thank you for your input guys.
I tried the CRU option. It borked my HDR calibration and everything looked weird.

Unfortunately I cannot find the AMD FreeSync option in my monitor setting (Alienware DWF). Maybe I'm just blind. Disabling it in the software does nothing, as stated by tiagogrunge
