Good thread. Has Valve said anything about these HDR issues. I wonder if game devs need to do something specific to make it work or if it’s more on the Proton / Linux side of things.
Maybe HDR sometimes works with certain Proton configs but not others as I’ve read people comment, but here are the HDR supported games I’ve tried so far:
HDR doesn’t work:
Shadow Warrior 2
Redout: Enhanced Edition
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
Shadow of the Tomb Raider
Nier Automata (This one was always odd on Windows as well, no menu option for HDR but supposedly has it but I’m not convinced it’s true HDR anywhere)
Final Fantasy VII Remake Integrade (I could enable it in the menu but it looks very off, a grey mess)
Devil May Cry 5
HDR works:
Ori and the Will of the Wisps
Lies of P
Baldur’s gate 3
Hogwarts Legacy (You list this as didn’t work, but I’m 95% sure it was working when I tried it if I don’t misremember)
Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga (Not very impressive HDR though)
Elden Ring
Monster Hunter Rise
Doom Eternal
Right, I forgot that there was an unofficial patch for Control made by an employee, haven’t looked into that. I wonder why they just didn’t add it to the game though…
I checked Hogwarts again and HDR does work.
It’s a bit surprising that not much is being made of this issue outside of a couple of mentions on Reddit. As someone who is a bit obsessed with HDR on OLED I really wish the situation improves as if implemented well it makes a big difference. The best game so far for me is Lies of P which is just stunning in HDR and runs like a dream with Ori Will of the Wisps a close second.
