@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

@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)
