HDR is broken

[JackGamer]

Paper white is adjusting peak brightness and adjusting max luminance does nothing.

Looks washed out.

I hope they fix it soon.

On Twitter you can see my measurements.

I don't think the game is activating HDR at all, it's just enabling the settings when HDR is enabled in Windows. Usually when HDR is working in a game, the Steam overlay UI color is busted, but the Steam overlay color is its usual color when playing SDR games; that tells me that the game isn't switching to HDR.

I'm on Windows 11 latest updates, RTX3090, latest game-ready GeForce driver. I did add the game's to Windows 11 System > Display > Graphics area and ensured I disabled AutoHDR so that won't interfere, no change.

The steam overlay is extra bright and bold for me.

Using RTX HDR is working well however the UI is soo bright. Is there a setting to tone down the UI brightness?

What monitor are you using? It looks gorgeous on mine. 1200 nits, max paper white, +2 black, 0 whites.

Using an s95b as gaming monitor, same result here, night and day compare how PS5 version handle HDR

Btw I'm using LG CX and max brightness I'm seeing with in game HDR is about 350nits. The lax luminance slider is clearly doing nothing.

That's what I would expect to see if HDR were working, I wonder if it's a combination of other things.

I do have an HDMI AV receiver connected to my PC, but it doesn't have a display connected to it, it's only used for outputting audio, so maybe it's confusing the game.

edit: Disconnected the AVR and tried a variety of fullscreen/windowed settings and had no change.

I doubt it, HDR output on a non HDR display would look really washed out.

i am using a hdr mod for horizon1 on my non-hdr screen , it looks better than native tbh

I can't confirm that, it looks great on my Msi Gt 77 Mini Led Display. Maybe Hdr Calibrating in Windows helps.

i have a Asus PG32UQX 1400nit vesa display and there are no bright highlights at all like the first game was good hdr. this games hdr is busted as heck.

HDR is working.

Game outputs 1000 nits if you adjust paper with to 1000 nits.

Read my post at the top.

Yep, same. No issues with HDR on LG C1 and Win10.

I have the game on PS5 and it doenst look the same with HDR.

Look at the measurements i linked to above.

I do play on an OLED with 1300 nits compared to your max 800 nits, so maybe you dont see the difference so easily?

Its the Paper White that adjust max luminance.

Played it on PS5 too. HDR looks exactly the same on PC. Playing on Windows 11.

not even close, i invite you to make a test right now to compare

God, how wrong I was. My mind tricked me. Just tested it and yep, it's broken on PC right now. Looks way better on PS5.
