When I turn off HDR on my Xbox (in console settings) and quit/restart the game (restarting is necessary for the change to take effect), the issue appears to go way... But then I can't play with HDR.
As I look into this further, the backgrounds in the menus and loading screens really get blown out with pixelation/banding when HDR is enabled.
Maybe something PS4 specific then. When you turn HDR off on the PS4 is forces all apps closed. Same issue without HDR for me on those loading screens.
Community AdminThank you for the posts. It looks like this affects everone using HDR on the Xbox One X and PS4 Pro.
Unfortunately I don't have any time estimate on a fix but hopefully we'll have an update for you soon.
@netnothing Can you post an image with the HDR off? Can you try restarting the system and start again without HDR and see if anything changes?
Here are some pics from PS4 Pro on a Samsung 4K with HDR on.
Note, I get the same thing with HDR off (restarted PS4) and even in 1080p mode.
TV is KS9000.
Note - no other issues with any other games on system....even ones that do HDR.
@EA_David, here are some comparison pics on Xbox One X:
HDR on:
Note the brightness and pixelated banding around the planet
Note the pixelation behind the card slots
HDR off:
Note the pixelation/banding when HDR is on. The brightness is significantly increased on these screens, but not during actual gameplay. And to clarify, I have calibrated the "HDR10 Peak brightness" option in Battlefront settings.
Edit: Linked to larger versions images
Just an update.....bought a Sony X930E - same thing happens.
Same happens here on XBOX ONE X with Panasonic TX-75EXW784.
Ugly color banding and saturation issues, especially on the loading screens.
Please fix this * DICE, it looks terrible and causes eye cancer.
To be fair I think Loot boxes are forced on the Dev by the publisher. I don't think the game developers really want to put them in but have to due to contractual reasons. So they'll be made to have it as top priority to "fix" the loot box (gambling based) progression system first.
It's a big shame the game is tarnished by this because it's actually really fun... except due to the progression system being loot box based and there's no microtransactions atm I'm at a huge disadvantage over people that have been playing since launch. I just wish this type of progression system didn't slow down progression to a crawl. Hope they fix it properly and not just fix it for the suits...
On the subject of the OP, I've been playing over the last couple days since getting the game and have noticed the exact same issue. At first I thought my TV or brand new Pro had gone wrong but after checking all settings and fiddling for ages, the cutscenes still look like they are from a bootleg DVD.
And as others have shown, doesn't matter how powerful your console is and whether it's dynamic or native 4k... if the game has an issue with rendering in 4k and HDR then no ammount of grunt under the hood will fix that. DICE and/or Criterion need to get on this asap.

The issue is still there after latest patch. Hello DICE/EA? Can you please at least respond that you are aware of the problem.
I experience the same problem with the standard PS4 (not Pro) and Sony KD-65XE7005 TV in Gaming Mode. SW BF2 starts loading normal then the Picture disappeares for 1 or 2 sec and then ist all cloudy and crappy. Much to light and almost no Colors at all.
When I deactivate HDR in the PS4 Settings menu it works fine.
Other games like NHL17 or Uncharted 4 work just fine with HDR activated. Really seems to only be a BF2 Problem.
See pictures
I really hope they fix it. Turning of HDR can't be the solution, right?
All other games I tested worked perfectly fine.
