PSA Problem with HDR
Guys after 3 days i figured out a problem with MELE.
Basically every time i tried to run a ME1 screen went black and i had to restart the pc using ctrl alt canc.
So after a lot of tries i figured out that even i set HDR to off, no matter the settings what happends is:
Click the game icon, EA Desktop starts, MELE Launcher starts, Splash screen comes, Windows switch to HDR (no matter the settings) to show the "press a key to continue" screen, i press a key, Windows switch to SDR and the game starts.
Now the problem is that windows doesn't support HDR on a cloned screen and i stream on youtube, so i have my screen cloned to another pc with a capture card, let's call the second pc streaming pc.
When the ME launcher runs there is no problem as it runs in SDR. As soon as i run mass effect 1 even if HDR is disabled in the option, right after the splash screen, the game force windows to switch to HDR for the screen where you are required to press a key to continue, then he switch back to SDR. If the pc with the capture card is off everything works perfectly as windows is able to manage HDR on a regular screen, but if the streaming pc is on, right after the splash screen everything freezes as Windows forces the HDR and it is not able to manage a cloned screen with HDR on.
So the solution i found is to set the game in borderless window while the streaming pc was off as in borderless mode HDR doesn't work:P and now everything works and i can also stream the game.
A better solution would be if the developers can look into it and just disable the switch to HDR right after the splash screen if HDR is off.
Sorry for my english, it is not my first language, i hope it can help
