HDR has been fixed!

[enchainedblade]

That minor update early this morning has fixed the terrible HDR black level raise, so if you are playing the game with an HDR capable display, now is the time to enable it!

Looks amazing on my Asus PG32UCDM, even better than Doom Eternal due to the much better lighting and PBR shaders.

HDR is still not working correctly (Raised black levels) I went back to try specialk again for HDR and it's a night/day difference

How strange. I had this game pre-ordered and I got to play it early Tuesday morning and one of the first things I noticed was an abominable black level raise which completely ruined the HDR presentation.

Fast forward to early Wednesday, I noticed that there was a small update, around 260MB. I didn't play the game again until the afternoon but when I tried it again with HDR enabled, I noticed that it was now working great.

This is without any workarounds or hacks. The only other thing I can think of was the Tuesday Windows update that may have fixed something, but that's just pure speculation.

I see that my hardware does not support HDR. What can be the reason for this? Windows has HDR enabled and I have installed the latest driver from nVidia... use the MSI Titan 18 MX AI

Native HDR still has raised blacks and looks washed out.

Going back to SpecialK for HDR

If you want to use what i think is the best option for HDR look up Specialk App.

I JUST setup Special K for the first time. The game looks VERY different, not sure if I like it or not, or if this is how it's supposed to look. Def looks more like eternal, colors are punchier and the black level floor is way lower. Can I ask if youre using HDR 10 or scRGG HDR? I read in the setup guide for Special K, they recommend using HDR10 for setups using frame gen (which I am) but this makes my game crash.

Also, it feels like there's more input latency with Special K?

dang man, youre right. special K kicks ass. been using it for an hour or so, and yea, looks great.

Hey guys, if you're still having issues getting the native HDR to work, Auto HDR is an option and works just fine provided you have HDR enabled in Windows but disabled in the game settings.

Comparing the two, Auto HDR is much brighter and less moody than the native implementation, but that could be because of how I configured the HDR settings in the game. I prefer a more contrast oriented look rather than an overly bright one.

With Auto HDR, the HDR configuration in the game is not available so you only have gamma and the Windows HDR calibration tool.

Yeah, specialK is still best option for me, i have been keeping a lookout for an official or other fix but for now it's still the best.
