I don't know, it does not work on my side.
You sure it's not just washed out SDR content output in HDR? Some reported that kind of fix work while it seems to not work for me and others, but maybe?
To be sure, i recommend Nikkmann's technique. You can monitor the differences easily like i posted earlier.
Also, if you can't access the HDR Calibration Option in game, that means HDR is disabled (The options is not greyed out but try to click on it...)
And if the brightness slider in HDR Windows options (35 by default) have ANY effect on your GAME, HDR IS NOT WORKING.
So you sure about this?
I'm 100% sure, it looks exactly the same using both methods.
This is an Nvidia driver vs Windows issue !
Need to activate HDR in Windows and then activate HDR Ingame!I posted details about it , 2 or 3 pages agao !
SDR to HDR can cause issues to !
Cheers
PS already "known bug" since 2021 !!!
You are dead wrong.
Go back and READ the bug report - I am the one that submitted it. I am using an AMD GPU.Fact: HDR broke for both AMD and NVIDIA GPUs immediately after 4.2.0 was released.
I have tried all of the “workarounds” and nothing has worked. HDR was broken with update 4.2.0 and DICE needs to fix this. I am using a 5800x with a 4090 at 4K on the PG27UQ. Every other game is gorgeous looking except for 2042. It’s such a shame that DICE won’t even tell us they are aware of it. Something has to give here. I can’t even play the game it’s so bad. I am constantly shooting at teammates because I can’t even see their names due to massive blown out lighting.
The fact that you assume we don't already have HDR turned on says a lot about you.
I don't use AMD or a TV.
The game is at fault. Everything was 100% fine until 4.2.0 released.- @SubSonix I’m with you buddy. I have tried everything. I did just notice a new Nvidia driver released today and I have a Windows 11 update. Here’s hoping 🤞🏻 (but I doubt it)
Still blown out and washed out hdr. DICE WTF!!!!!
Ok so I got a new monitor (PG32UQX) and I noticed when I fired up 2042 my HDR slider was back to normal. Not sure if there was an update or what but it looks pretty good right now. Lmk if it’s working now for u guys.
Ok it’s 100% back to normal for
me! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Nope still not working. The famous dice approach of lets just let it figure it's self out on it's own hasn't worked. Looks like crap still and sliders are all off. Only game to do this. Holding my breath it gets fixed but we all know dice. They can't even microwave popcorn without messing that up let alone an hdr bug that's going on 3 months soon of being broken.
- @megatronrn I’m trying to figure out what the hell happened for it to go back to normal for me. Trust me when I say it is absolutely back to normal. All I did was unplug my old monitor and plugged in a new one. Maybe try unplugging your panel and try again? It sounds dumb but something fixed mine.
- @lex_lutha111384 I tried plugging into a different port on my GPU - no change - HDR is still desaturated and covered in a "grey" haze for me.
- @k1DBLITZ Try unplugging your monitor from the wall and doing a reset on it.
@lex_lutha111384That didn't and doesn't work.
In addition, we had some very bad storms recently and lost power multiple times.... EVERYTHING has been shutdown / disconnected.As a reminder - HDR works fine on this monitor in EVERY game except 2042.
HDR used to work in BF2024 UNTIL patch 4.2.0.
This has happened to MULTIPLE people across MULTIPLE makes and models of monitors and has affected BOTH AMD and NVIDIA GPUs.
problem seems to be fixed with the newest patch
Lucky you. Still broken on my end. Log in once a week just about to check it and it's still broken.
that's strange really, do you have 5.0.1 installed?
I do. The one that came out 2 weeks ago right? I haven't had another update since.
- @Jdizzlefosizzle No !
About this update https://answers.ea.com/t5/Updates/BATTLEFIELD-2042-UPDATE-5-0-1/m-p/12674106#M2405
Check youre ea app for any issues !!! No update for me to update too on both my systems that have this game installed on. Can't force ea app to give me an update. Tried repairing the game. Deleted it and reinstalled it. And then deleted the app and reinstalled it. Hdr is still broken. Have my bf 2042 on 2 different computers and monitor and tv and doesn't work. It's the ONLY game in my library that hdr doesn't work. So again still broken as of 6/23/23. So Dice how long must we wait for an actual fix on this? I'm not the only one that hdr hasn't worked since 4.2.0 dropped. Wake up and do your job for once. It's not that hard. k thanks.
- @k1DBLITZ No I hear you man. Update 4.2 definitely did something. I cannot believe how they’re ignoring us.
