Here are a series of screenshots.

1. Eastern Europe, Day, Clear. Both the tank and surroundings are bright and sunny, and very clearly visible.

2. Iberian Castle, Day, Clear. Surrounding scenery is artificially vibrant but tank has a giant shadow cast on it. This was taken in an open field.

3. Hurtgen, Day, Clear. Surroundings look more normal but a shadowy cast on the tank

4. Test Site, Day, Overcast. At least the scenery and tank both look dull and dark as they should. But in what universe is this an overcast day? Looks more like a thunderstorm is going to happen. I live in the UK, I would know. Its been overcast all day and it didn’t look as grungy as this.

5. Carpathians, Day, 14:00. Looks normal at least.

6. Flanders, Day Cloudy. It’s somehow more vibrant and clear on a cloudy day in Flanders than a clear day in other parts of Europe.

I cannot see a single issue with the variance in these screenshots.

Apart from “Shadows are dark” and “Clouds block light”, your black points are about the same and the difference in contrast can easily be tweaked with the polynom filter.

“Shadows are dark”

Woah, you learn something new every day /s

Did you read that these shadows were cast out of nowhere in an open field?

And the clouds were only in Flanders yet the picture remains bright with virtually no light blocked.

[Rikers_Beard]

Oh please.

[TheArcticFoxxo]

What?

Have u tried to change the hdr settings in game ? maybe can.

[Szláven]

Its randomly fixed, I played the game press windows typed on discord went back and it fixed. idk what was the problem but likely the game was bugged for me. And now its wrong again something is bugged.

[jaded_sakura77]

Unfortunately I am not able to. I believe it’s fully integrated into the panel.

Raising SSAO, shadow and cloud quality + changing post fx settings from ArcticFoxxo helped.

I then raised gamma correction a bit to compensate for my overall darker panel.

There is HDR settings in the game
And yeah this is how washed out the game for me bc its bugged i even reinstaled it and the gpu drivers.

[jaded_sakura77]

Wow. There is an on/off slider for me and this is the effect, note image 2 there is more mud on the tank:

ON:

OFF:

This is for me when hdr works and when its washed out

TBH I do not play with HDR (I alt-tab a lot and HDR create a 1-2sec. delay on win 10 when you do that) but I just checked and it looks good for me (both on LG 27GL850 - IPS, and on my LG OLED TV).

I had similar issue you show on 1st screen years ago, when I was using Phillips Momentum screen. Some games were simply washed out (not my topic, but something similar https://www.reddit.com/r/Monitors/comments/15kypdq/is_it_normal_for_hdr_to_be_washed_out_like_this/ you will find much more of this searching for washed out colours in HDR on google).

Sadly I do not have solution for this (because I stopped searching when I changed screen).

You could try and send a DxDiag file to customer support along with these images. That is all I can think of

[Szláven]

thx but here its not the monitors fault, the game has to do with something.

[Szláven]

where do I get the DxDiag files?

[jaded_sakura77]

1. Type dxdiag into the windows start menu

2. The DxDiag tool appears, click “Save all information” and save the file

I know this is little bit late… but, what kind of monitor/screen/TV you are using? Have you tried changing/disabling Auto HDR, RtX HDR settings? You should also check if your ‘set’ uses Dynamic tone mapping (common for TV’s), and try to see if you can disable it.

There is multiple reasons why colors might look washed out, or any other issues while playing HDR games.
