EA StaffCould you please share which monitor you play the game on?
Does your setup contain more than 1 monitor and are they all HDR or just a single one?
@BattlefieldDICEr I have the same issue. Everything is over exposed looking grey. Alienware AW3423DWF OLED

@JRizzo67 if you have not done this already, can you check if your monitor has a recent firmware update and see if updating to that one changes anything in-game?
I was speaking to another user with the same monitor (Alienware OLED AW3423DWF) where they had similar overexposed image and they reported that the latest firmware of the monitor fixed the problem. So I am curious if that is the case for others too.- @BattlefieldDICEr Hey guys I will check but I think this may be more then just battlefield. I have found a work around via a reddit chain. It's pretty much turning off HDR in windows starting the game then using key functions to turn back on and it fixes it. Some people are saying it's also in Jedi - https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/12yvkag/update_420_hdr_stopped_working_pc/jhwg6wg?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
- @JRizzo67 Thanks, that really works.
- @BattlefieldDICEr The firmware does not resolve the issue with BF2042.. it is a BF2042 issue after the patch. However, there is a 1.04 firmware coming out for the monitor at the end of the month (see subreddit for ultrawide monitors)
I have the same monitor and on mine everything seems over saturated. Player tags wash out in the sky near any amount of light. Even the HDR calibration slider matches much much higher as if my monitor suddenly got twice as bright.
- @BearWitness79 Was put in Breakaway last night, impossible to play
Sounds right. I was playing Al Amien in the Portal rotation and every time I faced the sun I couldn’t see anyone on the ridge in front of me. My friend I was playing with (SDR on a ROG Swift) could see everything.
