Hi all,
I have an HDR capable monitor, HDR enabled in KDE plasma, but I still can’t get some games to let me switch on the HDR toggle. Every time I turn it on in the game, it says something along the lines of “your hardware must support HDR” or some shit like that. After some online searching, I was able to enable it on ONE game in the heroic games launcher with (I think) a launch command? Where I threw there a “–HDR” and some other strings in there after enabling gamescope (this is where shit starts to confuse the hell out of me), then the game let me actually toggle HDR on. I can never do that on Steam. I am trying to play Indiana Jones and the great circle and it says the same. Same with Resident evil 4.
How do you do it? Is there a guide or something to follow? Is it like per game? Like some games allow it and others don’t? Also, and most importantly, how the hell does gamescope work? On heroic, there are things like “Game width, game height, upscale width and upscale height”. On Lutris, there is a cleaner way with dropdown menus where you choose a “Output resolution” and a “Game resolution” resolutions. What are those? Which is which?
Sorry for the very long post, and I appreciate any help
Thank you
Nevermind, I just tried it with proton-em and remembered what happened last time. It can be turned on but it looks like a grayscale filter on the screen so it’s better left off.
Also tried control with proton-em but the hdr looks super wrong on that game now but not sure if it is because proton em or if the new built in hdr setting is not as good as the hdr mod that I used to use
Edit: just tried with witcher 3 too, never tried it before but it is also desaturated, maybe a bit less than crysis tho. Also with hdr enabled framegen started artifacting like crazy
Edit 2: Oh shame on me, should’ve rtfm. It requires enabling hdr wsi on nvidia drivers. Everything works now
I got similar results in ratchet and clank rift apart. Turned hdr off the picture was amazing. On resident evil 4 I now have hdr. Same with uncharted 4. Indiana Jones straight up crashes with toggle HDR. I guess it is per game
It adds hdr support to vulkan drivers that don’t have hdr support I think, it used to be a thing for all gpus but I assume nvidia’s implementation is faulty somehow
two games so far, inidian jones and the great circle and Resident evil4 so far

Apparently hdr wsi is still required on nvidia, my problems went away once I enabled that
Never had an Nvidia GPU, so I have no idea what that is. lol
