HDR Seems Broken

Product: EA SPORTS™ WRC
Platform:Steam-PC
Summarize your bug HDR doesn't seem to display correctly.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I have an Alienware AW3423dwf OLED. Monitor is in HDR mode, Windows is in HDR mode. Game allows me to turn HDR on, but the image looks very washed out, grayish and low saturation. Adjusting the brightness slider doesn't help it just makes the overall image lighter/darker but has no effect on contrast.
What happens when the bug occurs? image looks very washed out, grayish and low saturation
What do you expect to see? normal looking image with normal contrast

The HDR used in high end tvs and monitors is broken before and after the patch

Same here, on PC / IPS monitor.
I've tried windows HDR on and off, every monitor setting, and even tweaked the ini file but light colours are washed out or dark ones are too dark when trying to adjust the lighter ones.
I've managed to do a nice red and black livery (that's another issue) but the red looks pink in sunshine.
The colours are even different in the editor thumbnail.

you can force windows auto hdr with an app called "legode autohdr_force.exe", it also works for other games, like dirt rally 2, i hope this helps people who have hdr tvs and monitors, thank you
