HDR and DLSS Frame Gen are both not working correctly atm

[mmkk33]

HDR peak brightness can only change through tweaking the Paper White setting, but that also brightens the whole image so basically useless.
DLSS Frame Gen stops working in cutscenes and UI Menu.

Same here

When turned on HDR at the initial game setup, once again, all of my colors got "washed" meaning the whole game turned darker/greyer. Hopefully, as it has previously been, Windows fixes "itself" at some point. And if I remember correctly this happened with Zero Dawn as well. Game devs making PC ports really need learn to let Windows handle the HDR enabling, since games that do that don't have the darkening/greying out problem.

I have no problems with HDR in this game.

HDR in this is definitely on the bright side for games but otherwise seems to work fine on my LG C2 OLED, doesn't have the "washed out" look when HDR is broken in games at all.

I do wish they'd have a proper test pattern for calibrating HDR though, with the adjust until you can't see, adjust until barely visible type prompts.

Auto hdr sucks gamma is awful

It's best to use native resolution, upscales are always buggy...

This game has a max 300 nit cap, idk how you think it's normal unless you changed the paperwhite option.

I have no problems with playing in DLDSR 2.25x mode + HDR on my display, using DLSS Quality (have tryed DLAA too)

I'm using DLAA which is native, the issue is Frame Gen.

[CoffinDodger]

Using a alienware oled monitor and HDR is not working at all here either. It is super washed out the only way I can increase brightness is thru paper-white but that does the whole screen.

[Leihjir]

Ok HDR litteraly not working at all .... settings up to look brighter conclude in the exact same result as SDR (using an S95B as gaming monitor)

[Myriad[1g]]

im noticed that changing to windowed turning on hdr and it seems how it should works, but its so annoying with this white bar on top..

[Remi]

I have a 4090 and the DLLS frame gen is just gray and cant be activated i try all the settings all the bug fixes verify files download the game agin my drivers everything and still not working

The game has literally a fixed HDR color correction. Which is a bug and fixed by a mod.
Not having problem? Sure.

Frame Gen is supposed to stop in cutscenes and menus, but HDR is known broken.

Special K has a fix for it in our latest Discord version ( https://sk-data.special-k.info/repository/SpecialK_24.3.23.3.exe ), there's also a Nexus Mods mod if you have an account to download it.

Be aware that even with the fix applied, the calibration screen is useless. Only paper white will affect that image.

So to calibrate this game, just take the number you know is your display's peak luminance, subtract 10% (because game is full of bright white clouds and that affects ABL) and for the same reason add 10% to the Paper White value you'd typically use so that you can see the game's UI overtop clouds.

For my Alienware OLED that works out to 930 nits peak, 340 nits paperwhite.

But you need either the nexusmods fix or Special K first
