Can't turn off HDR...
Hi. I used to play this game a year ago in my 4k HDR TV. I always disabled HDR because I didn't like how it looked so i used to turn on the SDR SRGB option instead. Today I installed the game again and for my surprise if I turn off HDR, my TV still recognizes it as enabled, which means whased out colors and game too bright...
The only way I can play is with HDR enabled, which I don't like. Also using windowed full screen is not a good idea because game looks a bit weird too...
Is there any solution for this? I think this is due to a Nvidia driver or windows update that ♥♥♥♥ed up the HDR option.

That will not work. Stupid game still thinks he's in HDR mode. Something really weird... Deffinetly a bug from new drivers or windows updates. And to this day, developers won't give a ♥♥♥♥ about this issue.

do other games work correctly with HDR? I have no issue with my Tv and HDR. only thing i can say is to try and remove the driver and either go back to a preivous one were you were not experincing this problem or try to reinstall the current driver again.

Yes other games work well with HDR on/off. Have you tried to play with HDR disabled? Because my problem is that I can only play with HDR enabled. If you check it, I would appreciate it too much.

Then that's definetly a bug. Game looks perfectly good in my monitor which doesn't have HDR. Also I tried the PS4 version and it doesn't have any problem when turning HDR ON/OFF. How can I contact Capcom and tell them about this issue? I don't think they will try to fix it but why not to give a try...

No. it just looks ♥♥♥♥ compered to HDR.. my TV display looks the same as ps4 without HDR. HDR just looks way better.

Maybe he forgetting to turn hdr on in windows first, if you try and play a game in hdr, without hdr enabled in windows first, will obviously looked washed out.

Of course it is disabled in Windows. In full screen windowed mode SDR works ok but performance sucks due to stuttering

My guess is you don't have a real HDR TV. There are a lot of 4K TV's out there that say they are HDR but are not really HDR. What is the max Nits on your 4K TV and how many local dimming zones does it have? If it is below 600 nits and have no local dimming zones, then its not real HDR and that why it looked bad.

Sorry to say, but the HDR looks bad on your 4K TV because you most likely don't have HDR.

No, you are not understanding what I say. HDR looks ok but I prefer SDR for this game. It's SDR what is not working properly because the game makes the TV think that is working under HDR signal. Every other game I tried worked correctly with both HDR and SDR. It's so frustrating not having anyone who is experiencing the same bug as me, but I'm telling you it is true. Anyways I'm playing with HDR in full screen and i'm ok with it since I don't have any other choice...

But its not meant to be disabled in windows, you have to turn on HDR option in windows for it to work in hdr games.

Not in all games. For some games like this you don't need to have it enabled in Windows, you can enable/disable directly from the game itself. The same happens with Resident Evil 2, but in this one SDR mode works as intended.
Final Fantasy XV on the other hand requires HDR to be activated from Windows.

Ok, did not know that, would be great if all games allowed you to just enable hdr in game.

I have exactly the same problem, I play on a 2019 LG OLED TV and since the release of driver 441.08 HDR is always enabled in this game no matter what. I start the game with HDR disabled on Windows and it's also disabled in the game's menu and it still activates HDR on my TV, also it doesn't matter if the game is Fullscreen, bordeless or Windowed, HDR remains active. And yes, I could also play it with HDR on but in this game compared to SDR it raises black levels which is really noticeable on an OLED, so I prefer SDR. This is the only game with HDR that has this problem of being always active.
