HDR issue on PC
On the settings menu, HDR is either on Auto or Off...if on Auto, in fullscreen mode, the colors are purple, green, blues, etc.... terrible....if switched off, it's normal non HDR. Had anyone else ex...
Great post, thank you for posting. I had a 'working' workaround for SDR already, and somehow got it in DV with a normal image once or twice by messing with alot of things. But your info is correct.
Very useful windows shortkey as well that I didn't know yet.
Edit: do you also have spots / sparkles on the screen this way?
Edit2:
- The weird spots on the screen are caused by using resolution scale under 100.
- Ini file is documents/Need for Speed Heat/settings/PROFILEOPTIONS_profile (incase someone was missing this info)
- Works if you want to play in 1440p as well, windows has to be in 4k then.
- Works only for me if FullscreenScreen 1 and FullscreenMode 0, FullscreenMode can be set to 1 unwanted if you switch screens / test workarounds/ alt enter.
- Not sure what H3llf1re does to re-enable the gfx card. After playing the game, things are still not completely normal and it seems to be that Nvidia colour setting dynamic range is changed to full. Changing it back to limited will trigger the black DV screen. Reboot will fix that.
It's almost November 2020, and I've been pulling my hair out over this as well. I've spent hours searching for answers and in the process of trying suggested workarounds, I've actually broken other games. Very frustrating. Thankfully I've been able to resolve those other issues, but the Dolby Vision black screen remains.
I can at least get NFS Heat to run without triggering Dolby Vision by turning Deep Color mode off in my TV settings (LG C8). But as soon as I try and switch it back on, even after exiting the game, it triggers Dolby Vision and I'm stuck with a black screen.
After several reboots of both the PC and the TV, I'm not exactly sure what I did but somehow things are back to normal. If this is what I have to go through every time I want to play this game, then that's ridiculous. I wish I could get a refund but I'm past the date.
Was thinking to give this game a go in 2021 to find out its still as broken as it was when it came out(talking about a worthless company). I was part of the NFS franchise since NFS 1 1994 so for a long time and to see EA destroying game franchises like this it hurts they killed NFS, Mass Effect, Anthem, Medal of Honor and many more. Too bad we cant uninstall EA like we can uninstall the broken things they call games.
