how to enable HDR

[Jackbubu]

I just got myself a RTX 2080 to enjoy this game properly, but HDR is still disabled in the Menu. How do i fix this ?

You need to have HDR active in windows.
That means having an updated Windows 10 version and a supporting monitor.
Also some monitors (like mine) only support HDR on HDMI and not DisplayPort.

im not sure this can be the issue, since i can use HDR in other games. For example BF1

1. Run the DX12 version of the game
2. Open the Windows 10 Display Settings, enable "Wide Color Gamut / HDR" Desktop.

Technically this isn't required to run a game in HDR, but as you've seen, many of them will use the desktop setting to determine whether your display supports HDR. The smarter engines go directly to the driver.

If all else fails, I can offer you my own mod that enables HDR in D3D11 mode. You probably don't want said mod because the game performs worse in D3D11 :-\ My HDR looks better, but you probably want that performance.

Yeah some games like Assassins, or BF, can enable it, without enabling it in the Windows settings but Tomb Raider, requires you to enable it in Windows.

Don't forget to turn off Exclusive FullScreen in order to gain access to the HDR in-game

If you say so... I work on a LOT, and I mean A LOT of PC ports. Crystal Dynamics' engine is always a technical marvel and a joy to work on. Nixxes falls a little short on supporting all render APIs, but they're just the port developers.
