No HDR support... in 2022

[Sir_Coleslaw]

Why do all new horror games always come out without HDR support? These games in particular would benefit immensely from HDR. Now I have to work with retrofit HDR again. RE8 had HDR, and a very good one at that, which really added to the atmosphere, and really came across great on an OLED. What's the point of the brave new OLED world if you can't use it to its full potential because many new 2022 games don't have HDR support.

So my question to the developers, will HDR support be patched in?

[FriendCalledFive]

Yeah, just tried it on Gamepass, no HDR and autohdr isn't working either.

On top of that I came here to check the forums as the performance is terrible. Not a great launch.

HDR is an "extra" feature. Most horror games are indie games and indie games often lack these "extra" features. You can expect HDR from big budget titles but you'd be lucky to get HDR in a smaller title like this.

Who gives a F ?
Even most major AAA games ignore HDR because it does not add anything to the game.
OHH LOOOK, THE BLACK IS GREY WITH HDR. IT LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER....

HDR provides superior picture quality. If turning HDR is turning black your blacks into grays, then it's a calibration issue.

I'd argue HDR offers a graphical "boost" that you wouldn't be able to achieve otherwise. It's an improvement similar to the motion clarity boost you get from going from 60 to 120 FPS.

Well at least it's obvious you're trolling. I've played on HDR10 and HDR1000 displays with a minimum of 600-1000nits and the difference is not even worth to be mentioned.

60 to 120hz on the other hand is a game changer.

How dissatisfied can you be with your own life that you have to attack a statement like that. If you don't like it, that's fine, but the general claim that HDR only turns black to gray is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Treat yourself to some proper HDR on a proper OLED display and maybe you'll understand me.

I guess you only know HDR from monitors/televisions with conventional backlighting. Take a look at HDR on an OLED, then you'll understand what HDR was made for.

This statement alone is enough for me to judge that you have no idea.

Stop spreading your nonsense and BS, buddy.
I own a QE85QN800B with HDR, HDR10 and HDR10+ and a AW3423DW for my PC.
It looks MEH, alrighty ?. MEH

Comparing HDR to something like changing from 60hz to 120hz is a joke. Alright? People will laugh about this comparison.
Raytracing on the other hand is something worth to try and its definitely recognizable but HDR?....

So enough of your "drama". Relax and gtfo

I have a LG C1 OLED TV but HDR always look gray in dark areas in most games.

No it doesn't. HDR black is pure black ie lighting per pixel being turnd off.

Welcome to the world of HDR, my friend.
Using a QE85QN800B for watching TV and a Alienware AW3423DW for my PC and the difference is not even worth to mention. Me and all the folks I know, just turn it off before gaming.
There is a reason why almost all AAA publisher don't put any value on HDR compatibility because the difference is so marginal, that it doesn't make any sense to implement it.

"Oh look, the black is so blackish" xDDD
Black looks grey on HDR, end of discussion.

I was looking forward to Raytracing support because that's something you can really differentiate.....

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, the amount of people who seemingly only played HDR content on wrong calibrated or bad monitors is astounding. If blacks are grey in HDR, you did something very, very wrong! I'm playing on an OLED for close to 4 years now and the difference is, infact, really night and day!

[Xbob42]

Okay guys, HDR and OLED are two different things.

OLEDs allow you to get true black because the individual pixels can turn off completely.

HDR is "just" the contrast between super light and dark areas of the screen, it makes the difference between these really pop. It definitely shouldn't be turning blacks grey, but at the same time, HDR is kind of the wild west right now (doubly so on PC and monitors), so depending on the display and calibration it can look exceptional or just make the content look worse.

Anyway, this game should absolutely have HDR, and it's insane that it doesn't. You can yell indie game all you want, but I've been seeing and hearing ads for this game for literally years. Right after Easy Allies started in 2016, they started doing ad reads for Scorn, and they weren't even the first I'd heard of the game, I heard the exact same ads years prior to that on horror podcasts.

Now, years of ads on podcasts and social media isn't the same level of budget as a Superbowl ad, but it shows they have more advertising budget than any game I'd truly consider indie, and HDR is not some crazy high end feature.

Special K HDR works pretty well on my LG tv, no performance loss whatsoever. But game will crash with exclusive fullscreen, run the game once and set windowed fullscreen before injection.

Get better HDR displays. Both of those HDR displays you own are terrible. HDR 1000 means absolutely nothing if the display itself isn't capable of displaying true blacks and doesn't has proper local dimming.

As someone else said, only OLED displays can really display HDR properly which is why LG's OLED tv's are popular choices for a HDR gaming monitor.

Real HDR isn't "meh" it looks absolutely stunning and is a real visual boost.
