Low contrast, washed out visuals [solved]

[Zhnigo]

I'm experiencing a problem where everything in the game looks washed out and grayish, like contrast has been dialed down. The colors never go all the way to black, only to dark gray. Interestingly enough, when I take a screenshot and view it in windows, it appears to have normal color. Could this be an HDR issue? I have a regular monitor and the "HDR" option in settings is grayed out
Please help

The dynamic range is messed up so you need to download Reshade and use the "Levels Plus" filter to fix it.

That is the incorrect solution. The problem is indeed with HDR, but reshade only offers postprocessing fixes, which is only a crutch and doesn't fix the problem (washed out blacks and whites) entirely

What helped me fix the problem completely was opening nvidia control panedl and disabling "use default color settings", under Display -> Change resolution, like this

Thank you so much Zhnigo !

I was getting mad because the display setting was messed up after returning to the desktop.

You made my night.

THANK YOU!! Had this really strange problem where only 1080p ( my optimal res) was giving me washed out visuals,

Tysm, I had this problem and it was really frustrating since I had trouble seeing enemies. Now it’s fixed:)

I did what zhingo recommended but did not work for me, do I have to restart my pc after applying the settings. In the meantime turning off HDR in the in game settings is working for me
