Re: HDR issue on PC

I'm having issues with it as well. During the day sometimes ABSL goes crazy on my LG C8 and the brightness is all over the place. I also get some artifacting (white flickering spots at the top of the screen) during darker scenes or in the menu. When I launch the game and the GeForce Experience pop-up shows up it looks really weird and if I try to press Alt+Z to open the overlay the screen simply goes dark. If I go borderless the screen goes dark again.

I've tried with about 5 different HDMI cables and nothing changed. I wiped my drivers with DDU and installed the latest ones released today by Nvidia, no luck. I've even installed ME: Andromeda to check if maybe it's my TV that's acting up but no, Dolby Vision works just fine on that one (bear in mind it's the same engine), so I don't really know what's up with the implementation in Heat, but it really makes me not want to play it as much as I would otherwise. 

I'm not using a TV. This is on a 32" Samsung QLED monitor. No other titles I have do this. Only EA titles. What I see is like MPEG compression artifacts. It's just awful to see on high res devices. My LG C9 does it too when I decide to hook my PC up to it. Just sucks. I hope that Fallen Order doesn't have this problem. I'll be devastated if that one has crappy HDR implementation.

Unfortunately for now you will likely need to disable Deep Colour/HDR10 in order to see correct colours.

Fallen Order shouldn't have this issue since Respawn usually uses source or unreal engine instead of Frostbite. It's why Apex Legends doesn't have this issue, but every recent EA release from NFS Heat, Anthem, Battlefield V... to as far back as 2012 I've long researched this issue. Sometimes the issue is so bad with every Frostbite based game release it trips Windows 10 into keeping Dolby Vision always on even if I'm not in game and always reboots Windows into a black screen.

My only fix was to go into Nvidia control panel and manually set output color format to YCbCr422 and Output Color Depth to 10bit. Then turn Windows 10 HDR mode on in its settings.

It's a super jank workaround if you have an Nvidia GPU and monitor having this issue, but I can now play NFS Heat in HDR10 with no problem and no black screen issues.

What kind of dubious response is this? You mean unfortunately for now you have to just disable HDR. The whole point is we aren't getting correct colors and your "fix" just makes it so we can see it in SDR. Get it together and forward this to the appropriate department. Really sad to see this happen over and over again with every EA release.

i'm on LG Oled E6 tv and once i run game in 4k Dolby vision kicks in and I see black screen with music on. On 1920x1080 it works tho but I don't see this as true HRD. games looks dull. this is what we get for purchasing for a full price: unpolished abomination of a product.

Any news for a fix please ?

Can you disable Dolby Vision from the game so we can play in HDR normally ? (or fix DV : d)

Thanks ☹️

Are you serious?! How about you start making games that are properly made and FINISHED!!!!! EVERY SINGLE GAME from EA with HDR has this issue for me!!!!!!!!! And this guy has a nerve to say UNFORTUNATELY you need to disable it!!!!! EA makes me sick and from now on I will never ever buy anything you make cos all you care about is to take our money for your crappy unfinished games and you fix them months after release, my patience has run out for you, I cant believe EA still exists after so many * ups! Keep your crappy games!!!! Im tired of you!!!!

Uuurgh. I hate forcing 4:2:2 via NVCP, It makes my text and stuff look weird. :/
