Getting very washed out looking captures on xbox one s since new HDR popped up for s7. Am running the xbox at 4k uhd at 60 htz as 120 unavailable on TV. The only settings on xbox for capture @ 1080 or @ 720 are SDR.Is this why captures look so poor?

@OldTreeCreeper Mine still look the same... hmmm weird. Try hard reset (hold xbox button on console for 10 secs), then switch settings to lower vid cap, cap a clip and then do higher settings again. Maybe that’ll help

@OldTreeCreeper I also play on One S, In my experience, because the Xbox is not capable of recording clips in HDR, the resulting SDR capture always looks pretty plain as a result. Games that don’t use HDR look the same when captured. I’m not aware of any way to make it look “normal”.

@OldTreeCreeper Is your storage destination full or something? Never heard of a game not taking pics/vids unless it’s a demo game and it’s been restricted on purpose.

@OldTreeCreeper Are you in the insider program? If so, might be an error but I’m guessing you aren’t in there... so really dunno.You tried googling the problem or see if it’s the same with any other game?

@OldTreeCreeper It’s a program where you get earlier unstable builds and test stuff out before its rolled out to the general public in the stable build.

@Koochi-Q Yea that might be it. Fortnite records fine in the xbox 4kuhd setting.

@Koochi-Q just tried your button suggestion and lower capture rate etc. Sorry didn't work. Lowered to 720 then back to 1080 and situation is the same. No screen capture and washed out color in both recordings.
Only fortnite and apex on drive, I assure you I'm fanatical about keeping stuff off the drive. 😃

@Koochi-Q I haven't asked my friend Google yet, but will shortly. 😃
AFAIK I'm not on an insider program, what's that?
