critical display pipeline bug
Dear EA Sports FC Team,
I am reporting a critical display pipeline bug in EA Sports FC 25 on PC.
Issue behavior (very specific):
As soon as FC25 launches, the image becomes globally darker while highlights are severely overexposed
The in-game brightness / HDR calibration menu is non-functional — changing values has almost no visible effect
When I Alt+Tab to the Windows desktop while FC25 is still running, the entire system display is affected (desktop and all applications appear incorrect)
Once FC25 is fully closed, the system immediately returns to normal
This clearly indicates that:
FC25 applies an incorrect HDR / gamma / EOTF mapping
The mapping is applied at a system or swap-chain level
FC25 fails to restore proper display state while running, even though it releases it on exit
Important clarifications:
This happens only with FC25
Other HDR-enabled games work correctly
Disabling HDR in-game does not resolve the issue
This is not a monitor, driver, or user configuration problem
The problem is not “brightness preference”.
It is a broken HDR pipeline and locked calibration state inside FC25.
Please escalate this to the rendering / display systems team.
Suggesting users to “disable HDR” or “update GPU drivers” is not an acceptable workaround for a system-level display bug.
I expect this issue to be acknowledged and properly fixed.
