Game is very dark with saturated coloros

[Fumero]

After the new patch the game became very dark with too much saturated colors, is there a way to fix this?

The developers made a huge change to the colors and saturation in the game a few months back (patch 1.2 i believe) that made everything look horrible. In the patches since, however, they have fixed some of the contrast problem so the game looks more pleasant now, though I still feel the color saturation is a bit too high. If you can post a couple screenshots for me, I'll tell you whether you're experiencing a bug or that's just the way the game looks now.

Thanks. Just took my own screenshots to compare and they look exactly like yours do at max settings. Unfortunately what you're noticing is the result of the huge visual changes the developers made a few months ago (and it used to be worse).

Here's a tip though- turn your post processing down to "medium", and if that's not enough, off completely. It reduces some of the processing effects that make the image darker and looks quite a bit better in my eyes.

Okay mate, this is to 100% a windows 10 creators update problem. The HDR-Option (Game itself) is not compatible to the ridiculous! HDR implementation from the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ creators update.

1. step back to the anniversary update and use the newest geForce Driver

or:

2. use the old 378.92 geForce Driver to fix that.

...whatever, the Problem is the astronomic stupid useless HDR implementation from Microsoft in the Creators update. Hey Microsoft, You are idiots, HDR is not only to switch the whole Desktop to 10bit... we waiting to fix that crap since more then 3 month...

EDID: but YES, even with HDR the game is too dark now. Therefore i ask weeks ago if it's possible to disable this 'cheap' HDR modus.

Are the developers going to respond to the complaints about the darkness of the game? It's virtually unplayable on my monitor.

They actually did, one of the subsequent patches to the game about a month after this thread was posted fixed a shadow bug that was causing the game to look really dark and terrible. More recently I've heard a couple people having issues with the HDR implementation, are you using an HDR display by any chance?
