Dragon Age: The Veilguard - HDR Optimized Settings
Added 2024-11-03 18:57:45 +0000 UTC
The game DOES USE/APPLY Xbox and Playstation HDR Calibration app settings, but strangely not PC ones.
The game has a good HDR implementation as it correctly reads/applies system level HDR Calibration settings to the game automatically on consoles, but strangely that's not the case on PC.
Luckily the game provides an in-game Peak HDR Luminance slider (in nits value) on PC which can go up to 10.000 nits, along with additional picture controls.
ON PC:
If you have an LG OLED and:
> you're using Dynamic Tone Mapping or Dynamic Contrast:
Set HDR Peak Luminance slider to: 4.000 (nits)
> you're using HGIG:
Set HDR Peak Luminance slider to: 800 (nits) or 1.000 (for G2/C4) or 1.500 (for G3/G4)
If you don't have an LG OLED and:
> you don't have an HGIG option:
Set HDR Peak Luminance slider to: 1.000 (nits)
> you're using HGIG:
Set HDR Peak Luminance slider to the corresponding real Peak HDR Luminance of your TV in "nits"
In all cases, leave Brightness slider to 50% (Default) and increase the Contrast slider to 52% in order to fix a slight black level raise and improve the HDR rendition of the game.
BONUS:
On consoles' version: use Performance Mode for a 60fps experience still with good visuals
Enjoy ;)

2024-11-11 14:33:11 +0000 UTCIs it worth trying out RTX HDR for this or just sticking with native?

2024-11-11 14:29:21 +0000 UTCI usually leave it on as it's a creative choice.

2024-11-04 16:18:23 +0000 UTCI'm not using it and I'm 90% sure that it is disabled. I disabled it in Nvidia app "system-wide" and usually just enable sometimes manually if I want. I also never had problem like that in other games. But to be sure I will check tomorrow and let you know. Also I exaggerated when I said the image is "washed out". I think just some specular highlights like sun in the Lighthouse location.

2024-11-04 00:00:16 +0000 UTCAre you using RTX HDR? Try disabling that for this game through NVIDIA Profile Inspector and see if it fixes it

2024-11-03 23:17:38 +0000 UTCHi, I have a weird bug with HDR in this game on PC. Every time I launch the game, it displays image calibrated to crazy level of nits (5k+) and ignores what I have in settings. Once I open HDR calibration and just back out of that menu it fixes it. And the image is really washed without doing that. I have to do it every time. Have you noticed that?

2024-11-03 22:03:39 +0000 UTCYes except for Contrast 52% (and Performance Mode over Fidelity)

2024-11-03 19:05:15 +0000 UTCSo on Xbox, just keep the default settings for the game?
