Enable generic Unreal Engine HDR support

These .ini tweaks allow for the game to use HDR for brighter highlights while the UI remains unaffected compared to other solutions like AutoHDR.

Modify engine.ini

Press Windows Key + R - this will open the windows "run command" window
enter this path to open the Engine.ini directly

%LOCALAPPDATA%\RoboCop\Saved\Config\Windows\Engine.ini













Add the following lines:

[SystemSettings]
r.AllowHDR=1
r.HDR.EnableHDROutput=1
r.HDR.Display.OutputDevice=5

Would anyone be able recommend if it's better to do these steps and also enable Special K or just use Special K by itself?

good advice, added

Actually, even better would be "%LOCALAPPDATA%\RoboCop\Saved\Config\Windows\Engine.ini", that way the reader could just paste this in Run (Win+R) and the file will open in their default text editor.

Thanks for the guide by the way, it seems to be working for me (overhead fluorescent tubes seem to be brighter)

I think you should update your guide with "%LOCALAPPDATA%\RoboCop\Saved\Config\Windows\" instead, this way it avoids the reader having to change the path to fit their username

Ah OK thank you! Great guide.

it doesn't refer to the display number like in the windows settings but the color format/HDR model used, i chose 5 because it is scRGB with 1000nits peak and the best "catch all" option provided by UE in this case

display output device, is this supposed to be 5? i would think it would be 1, but not sure...?
