Re: HDR on PC doesn't work, breaks colors

@DarthFDG I reported this as a SWBFII issue because that's the only place it ever happened. Watching HDR videos in Chromium? Fine. Playing Redout? Fine.

Yeah, that's what I was eluding to. If I have it turned on in Windows, other stuff in Windows looks OK. If I also turn it on in SWBF2, it's too dark. It's like its putting HDR on top of HDR.
Even though it may legitimately be a SWBF2 bug, if your monitor does not fully support HDR (there are quite a few out there), its going to look worse.

@DarthFDG My monitor is the Dell s3220dgf, which according to the specs, supports DisplayHDR 400. It also has FreeSync 2 HDR.

Yep - sorry to say that's substandard HDR

@DarthFDG it appears this issue is an AMD driver issue:

"Multiple games may have very dark or very bright graphics in game when HDR is enabled in Windows®."
