Washed-out colors in HDR mode (PC, dual monitor setup)

Hello EA Support,

I'm experiencing an issue with HDR in EA FC 25 on PC.

My setup:

GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3070

Primary Monitor: ViewSonic VX2758A-2K-PRO-3 (HDR10 supported, 1440p, 165Hz)

Secondary Monitor: Rampage RM-344 (does not support HDR)

Platform: EA App

Windows HDR: Enabled

Game Mode: Fullscreen and Borderless Windowed tested

Problem:

When HDR is enabled in Windows and I launch EA FC 25, the in-game colors become washed out and dull in both fullscreen and borderless modes. However, when I click on a window on my second monitor or move the game to it, the colors briefly return to normal. Disabling the second monitor solves the issue completely, so the bug seems related to dual monitor HDR handling.

What I've tried:

Enabled HDR in Windows settings

Switched between Fullscreen and Borderless modes

NVIDIA Control Panel: Set RGB, Full Range, 10 bpc

Clean installed GPU drivers

Tested with only the HDR monitor connected — colors were fine

Tried launching the game via Steam shortcut with -UseHDR (didn't work via EA App)

Conclusion:

It looks like EA FC 25 has a problem with HDR when using dual monitors (one HDR-capable, one not). Other games work fine in HDR on my setup.

Please escalate this issue to the development team or suggest a proper workaround.

Thank you!

    Hey EA team,

    I’m having an HDR issue in EA FC 25 on PC and wanted to report it here.

    I use two monitors. My main monitor is HDR capable (ViewSonic VX2758A-2K-PRO-3, 1440p, 165Hz, HDR10) and my second monitor is SDR (Rampage RM-344, no HDR). My GPU is an NVIDIA RTX 3070 and I’m using the EA App on Windows 11. HDR is enabled in Windows.

    The problem is:
    When I launch EA FC 25, the colors look washed out and dull. This happens in both fullscreen and borderless windowed mode.

    Here’s something strange:
    If I click on something on my second monitor or move the game there, the colors go back to normal for a second. But as soon as I focus on the game again, the colors get washed out on the HDR monitor.

    If I disable the second monitor, everything looks fine and HDR works properly. So it seems like this issue is related to having two displays where one supports HDR and the other does not.

    I tested other games like this and they work fine in HDR. Only EA FC 25 has this issue.

    Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

    -Enabled HDR in Windows

    -Switched between fullscreen and borderless windowed

    -Set RGB / Full Range / 10 bpc in NVIDIA Control Panel

    -Clean installed GPU drivers

    -Played the game with only the HDR monitor connected (no issue in that case)Tried launching with -UseHDR parameter (but I’m using EA App so it didn’t work)

    In short, when I have two monitors connected (one HDR, one SDR), EA FC 25 makes HDR look dull and washed out. If I unplug the second monitor, the problem disappears.

    Could you please report this to the dev team?
    If there’s any fix or workaround I haven’t tried, I’d really appreciate it.

    Thanks a lot!

  • Hello. Right click on your FC25.exe, go to properties>compatibility, and then check "Use legacy display ICC color management" apply and click ok. Now turn HDR ON before you launch FC25- you can use (Win+ALT+B)--- Your colors should look beautiful now.
