Jedi Fallen Order's HDR looks absolutely horrible, no black, just greys, washed out. Does anyone else have the same problem? To me it seems even much worse than with other games that have the same problem (of which there are many)I'm playing on:CPU: AMD Ryzen 2600Memory: 16 GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200GPU: Geforce 2080ti (Driver Version 441.20)Screen: Sony XF90 55 inch (Death Stranding and other well done HDR content looks stunning and I'm using the excact same settings as in those cases)NVidia Control Panel settings are all set to default.If this is an issue with the game's HDR itself, how do you prefer to play? Did you just turn off HDR? I started the game and got so pissed off, because of the nightmarish HDR implementation that I just turned it off again, and at the same time it seems to be a great game which I'd really like to play.

Got the same Problem on my C9 OLED - i‘ve Turmed on Dynamic Contrast and set it on high (this only functions for this Game, you normally should turn it off ) Now, the Gamma-Problem seems to be solved without loosing any Detail - Hope they fix it , its definitely a bug , Maybe most People wont realize this on cheaper LCD-TVs, But turning on HDR without turning on Dynamic Contrast makes my C9 look like it was a 400€ Hisense

@Weltraumesser I've got a B7 OLED so I might give that a try as a temporary workaround. Thanks!Hopefully they can patch in a fix soon!

Definitely broken - nothing I do can come close to the colours and black levels of the SDR picture when enabling HDR. I've heard it's fine (at least I have friends confirm) that it's fine on console but someone here posted they are seeing it on console too. I can categorically say it is an issue on PC though. Any updates on this, EA?

I'm playing on Xbox One X with a 4k HDR OLED and having the same problem. HDR turned on looks terrible and washed out. There's a massive loss in colour saturation and the blacks look greyed out. I even spotted an example of it in Digital Foundry's tech analysis video. Red Dead Redemption had a very similar problem but they managed to patch in a fix several months later. Maybe PS4 Pro uses a different HDR standard than Xbox and PC?

Yep, same issue. I have tried all combinations of SDR and HDR brightness, and HDR simply never looks good. It's such a shame as well, because this game could definitely look amazing with good HDR.

Mine works perfect. Try hdr brightness. Also check that you are on 4k resolution, as other resolutions will look washed out. ( I haven't tried 1080p but 1440p is washed out)

yup same here. HDR is as broken as the SLI profile it claims to support

Same for me, I've had to turn HDR off as it looks so much worse than SDR.
If it would work correctly, this would be a stunning looking game as well ☹️
