HDR Glitch

[redflamingolingo]

Is anyone who's playing early having an HDR glitch that causes the main character's edges to become sparkly during night scenes or when you enter interiors or caves? The game was working just fine in HDR (it's gorgeous, btw), and then I started getting this problem. Nothing is fixing it for me. The only way to disable the sparkles is to disable HDR.

HDR is completely broken for me. I get a weird overblown color scheme while HDR is enabled so I had to just turn is completely off. I never had this HDR issue in Origins.

Kind of sounds like an 8 bit HDR issue.

I had the same issue, and although my TV is 8bit, I suddenly got it to work fine. I restarted the game and I have the same yellowish overblown color. Origins HDR works fine, and HDR on my PS4 pro works great, so it's a problem with the game, not with 8bit HDR.

Are you running Afterburner or another overcloking program? You have to launch the game before running these programs or the HDR will be really bugged out. Sadly, this isn't fixing my main issue with the sparkling character model at night....

I don't have any issue with HDR nor do I have to close Afterburner.
The most important thing would be your resolution settings in Nvidia control panel im using RGB 8bit FULL atm and have used YCbCr422 10bit in the past.

I'm gaming on a 2018 65 inch Samsung Q9FN which is a 10 bit panel so no...but nice try.

I have color control set to "other application controls color settings" in Nvidia control panel. And I have no HDR issues while playing any other title including AC: Origins.

What is windows automatically picking for you then? If you go display settings advanced display settings will tell you. Windows is most likely automatically picking RGB 8bit try going to YCbCr422 10bit manually might fix your issue. I had issue recently with Shadow of the tomb raider where HDR would only work in RGB 8bit mode any other mode I tried screen would tint greenish/pinkish

Nice try? Is this some sort of competition I wasn't aware of? Or do you not agree that this is typically an 8 bit HDR issue?

I'm using a 10 bit display so I'm obvioulsy not having an 8 bit panel issue.

I am having the same issue which is a shame. Some scenes the game looks incredibly good. Then others it's washed out. Particularly when red is involved, fire or red dirt really makes the game look washed out.

I am using a C7 OLED

EDIT: Actually fixed HDR, it was Rivatuner that was causing issues.

Having the same issue with HDR.
I'm using an LG OLED (E6). I'll try to turn off Rivatuner and Afterburner and later I'll post the results. The thing is that Odissey is the only title that this happens... quite strange...

What did you do, exactly? Thanks

The solution below (Darcy's) works for a lot of people.

Paul, I have exactly the same sparkle issue in origins. It's only noticeable at night and I wonder how many people don't even notice it that are running HDR. I have a 980TI, other games work fine with HDR, and AC Origins only has this issue at night. Its like it is registering a dark line as a bright line instead intermittently. I have found no fix other than disabling HDR in the game.

Actually had this issue come up now after reformatting wierd because rivatuner never interfered before but now it does simple fix though to fix washed out colors is close rivatuner open game then alt tab and reopen msi afterburner/riva tuner.
Even more strange is so far its only Odyssey that does it Origins doesn't do it.
