Can't you just use auto HDR on games that don't have it?

If you got a Nvidia card you can use RTX HDR :)

Yeah Auto HDR works if you have Windows 11. You have to force it with a GitHub tool you can search up online.

Unreal Engine should have HDR support at a engine level but Bethesda and other devs are too lazy/stupid to configure it.

I always go for SpecialK if I can, doesn't work on Vulkan games but its HDR retrofit is way better than AutoHDR or even RTX HDR, but nothing beats native HDR.

It usually looks incredibly washed out and horrible... but you do you.
AutoHDR and Nvidia's RTX HDR options usually look better than whatever a movie/game natively offers.

Yes , game is in unreal engine and there is a way to turn on native HDR following above instructions however the point it, it is a shame someone has to do that when it should be on by default and a toggle integrated in game menu to turn on /off and adequate calibration present. With this being said, I tried turning it on at ini file level , it just does not look right to me and I am on G9 OLED where when working properly HDR is absolutely stunning. The best alternative I found is RTX HDR which is what I am using in this game ,because it looks better than broken native HDR and in most cases it looks just as good as native HDR in other games.

Special K -> Nvidia RTX HDR Filter -> AutoHDR

Use in order of what is working for the game. This title seems to be DX12 so go for Special K.
I'll say that the lighting in this game is pretty bad, and I was able to get much better HDR in Skyrim. If you're a wiz with Special K you can get it looking good enough.

Don't bother with native HDR with console commands, you need the customization of Special K to make it look right.

Pretty hot take.
I don't even know what crappy monitor you'd have to be using to think it HDR on OLED looks bad.
I consider myself pretty picky when it comes to displays and my DWF OLED looks ♥♥♥♥♥♥' amazing when the games are set up right.

You can also go into the GameUserSettings.ini and change these lines:

bUseHDRDisplayOutput=False
HDRDisplayOutputNits=1000

Change the first to True and second to your monitor's max nits.
