There is no workaround in that thread either. A workaround is something that allows you to achieve the same end result, albeit a different path. What are you classifying as a "workaround"?
There is no "workaround" to enabling HDR in that thread.
HDR stopped working when 4.2.0 was released.
- @k1DBLITZ this allowed me to get HDR working. This was in the reddit post. It seems it works for some and not for others. It seems people have had mixed results. This allowed me get HDR on and not greyed out.
-----------------
Same issue here, and it happened to all games in the EA APP.
Funny thing was that I was playing 2042 hours before the 2042 4.2.0 update and everything was fine.
Then the 2042 4.2.0 update came out (also it looked like EA App was updated as well), and HDR was broken.
​
The workaround for 2042 that I found was:
1. launch the game
2. Alt+Tab switch out to other windows
3. disable HDR in windows settings-display
4. Alt+Tab switch back to 2042 (must fullscreen)
5. Win+Alt+B to enable HDR
And voila, HDR will be back to normal.
​
Mind that if you switch to other windows, or tweak the HDR toggle in 2042, the problem will be back. Then you'll have to redo 2-5 to make it works again.
​
For other games, I still haven't figure out the way to make HDR works properly.
I would believe that it's an issue related to EA App

For those observing the problem in-game, do you have DLSS enabled?
@BattlefieldDICErI had my DSLL off but turning it on or off has no effect. HDR still broken.
No; I am using an AMD card - so no DLSS.
@k1DBLITZGood to know both NVIDIA and AMD is experiencing the issue.
A new patch is releasing next week but no notes of an HDR fix.https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/138svt2/battlefield_2042_update_421/
Just reporting in that I’ve got the same issue. Everything is over exposed. Really can’t see player names anymore. At least friendlies when the backdrop is the sky or something bright. Flashpoint is way over exposed. Please fix.
@JRizzo67I think your "workaround" just make you play in SDR if i'm not wrong.
- @Colonel-Celeste I think you are correct. Still off, but def more playable. For instance maps with open areas of sunlight can still wash out. @BattlefieldDICEr, do you need someone to take an external video to see what's going on. Or have you identified the issue?
They just need to launch the game on an HDR monitor, run some map and they will see. I'm not even sure you will get same results through a video.
DO YOU NEED SOME HDR MONITORS EA ?! JUST TELL WE WILL SEND SOME !!! x)
- @BattlefieldDICEr I play on 1060 ×)
