HDR

[AntMan1]

Does patch 4.0 support in-game HDR? Not just turning HDR on in Windows 10/11....

[Carlos Spicywiener]

yes. Its automatic in game with no options to adjust

I didn't think so at first, so I dipped into my go-to ReShade bag to inject it as a remedy. I noticed even the lowest FakeHDR ReShade settings were applying so much color, the sun casting became orange and shadows jet black. It was too much, and it's never too much.

So then I decided to hit my Windows 10 HDR settings, basically where they give you one bar to play with. Put that on my second monitor, W3 on my primary monitor, and adjusted it. Low and behold, it changed in game and really brightened the colors, sun, vegetation, and darkened the shadows. It's there.

Subtle, not full implementation, but it works.

look in your documents/ the witcher 3/ dx12 user
open with notepad scroll down until you find visuals, there you see a few options, Hdr paperwhite, Hdr gamma, Hdr gamma2 and MaxTvBrightness.
You can play with those setting until you're statisfied with the results

It doesn't look like it is "real" HDR.. ie it seem it is just allowing stuff to get brighter. But maybe it was wasn't a very well done HDR. I personally just stuck with SDR. (I am a big fan of it and love it on my oled too.)

[DriverX4]

I'm still finetuning, but I have much better results than doing nothing. But to be honest. If I play with dx11 the auto HDR kicks in, wich looks the best so far. Than again, I miss the ray tracing, so I go for dx12 and play with user settings until I'm happy

You can also fix these problems with Special K, in dxgi.ini set HideHDRSupport=true then you can use either Special K for HDR calibration or not bother with any of this and let AutoHDR work instead.

The game's official HDR is crap.

[Orion Invictus]

Yes. Unfortunately, it makes the Steam overlay looks like hot garbage (WAY too saturated, actually managed to hurt my eyes).

[Kaldaien]

SK can fix that, BTW. It'll cause the overlay to draw in the right colorspace instead of Rec2020.

AutoHDR does not work. there is no notification when autohdr is turned on that shows up for this game.

You didn't read the entire message. Use Special K and set HideHDRSupport=true AutoHDR will work then.
