certain games launch with gamma (i assume) being way too bright and i dont know to fix it
only certain games seem to do this. its happened with elden ring, rainbow six siege, terraria, and a few others. when i close the game the steam overlay goes back to normal and the gamma isnt bright anymore.

i dont know if this is relevant but it seems to be games made in c++ and c# only that work. other stand alone games work like fortnite and minecraft so im not sure.

Some games simply have an own gamma setting. If certain games got out-of-what gamma, change the in-game setting.

Major Arcana - last years industry development of Raytracing & Hdr

Places to look.
The game - The graphic driver and its enhancements (NvPi) - Windows managment of all of this stuff - The innards of the monitor / the display (CRU) edid - The mainboard / bios

It could be that these games are made in requesting gamma settings from Windows but Windows sends its own saved configs instead, instead of these common color profiles like ICC/ICM's that we would expect. One way to check is to make a Display calibration manually.

That's what I would do
