Hi,
I've got a monitor that says that it's HDR but it doesn't have enough brightness to be an actual HDR monitor.
I'd just ideally turn off the HDR setting in windows and forget about it, but the way it works for some unknown reason is the following:
When I turn off HDR in windows, the brightness of all content is very, very low and raising it to 100 on the monitor and Windows doesn't improve the situation. Only when HDR is on in windows and some special settings are set in the NVIDIA Control Panel, does the display look any good.
In most games with HDR support, I just turn off HDR and treat it like any other SDR application, and it looks okay. But in DOS2, there is no option to turn off HDR. If it detects your windows HDR setting as on, its on and there's nothing that can be done about it.
The result? Dim game with overshot contrast and very washed out UI.
Turn off HDR in windows? Everything's dim.
I don't know why there's no HDR toggle inside the graphics options, there is in every other game with HDR support.
I know this is a very specific issue, but it's one that simply makes it impossible for me to play. If there's anything that can be done about it, I need to know.
Thanks
