The First Descendant - HDR Optimized Settings

The game is NOT using/applying Xbox, Playstation or PC HDR Calibration app settings.


The game has an average HDR implementation as it doesn't provide any Peak HDR Luminance control with a fixed peak of around 1.000 nits with a rendition which can look really good in some scenes and very washed out (with severe black level raise) in other scenes so the provided in-game sliders cannot adjust the latter without ruining the first.

Leave both "Screen Brightness" and "Screen Contrast" sliders to their Default/Middle/5 value for the most balanced results.

If you have an LG G2 or a C4 OLED or a 1.000 nits TV, you can try HGIG

Otherwise Dynamic Tone Mapping is recommended for this game.

Enjoy ;)

It's fine here

Motion blur?

David Soto

It's making the forest and later game areas so visually distracting as instead of a lush green, I get grey so much so that my poison green or fire looks washed out.

haris mohammad

Yeah and a fix is difficult to make in my opinion as there are very raised spots but also very good ones with perfect blacks as well. It just seems inconsistent between areas so an universal fix may not be that easy...

P40L0

The severe black level raise is so noticeable, it's just grey all over. The hdr is really bad and I hope gets fixed soon.

haris mohammad

So on 0?

haris mohammad

Yes, like I said the chart has the most updated/best settings

P40L0

Thank you very much friend, has anything changed about the hdr or is it still the same?

shisui uchiha

It's Cinema when watching movies, FMM when gaming. ALLM will automatically switch between the two (on Xbox and PS5)

P40L0

I'll look again, but what I didn't understand in the graph and which image mode I should use, there appears cinema

shisui uchiha

The chart you can find the link is more up to date

I'm currently on dtm + fmm, and the same calibration you used in the video, is that correct?

shisui uchiha

Yes if you are in FMM + DTM. You can read more here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/63754947

Could you send the photos to me privately so I can understand better?

shisui uchiha

I didn't understand that, new dtm? Am I using the correct dtm?

shisui uchiha

Yes, it's ALLM + FMM + (the new DTM) or forced HGIG in FMM via ColorControl

P40L0

Is it no longer cinema mode or fmm mode?

shisui uchiha

Performance Mode in the game. For the TV see the sticky post for under 2023+ LG OLEDs settings.

P40L0

I already use DTM, and which image mode should I use?

shisui uchiha

It's the same but try DTM.

P40L0

Hello p4olo, could you give me the best calibration for b3 oled?

shisui uchiha

I would use Performance Mode + Frame Gen: On. Balanced is actually really "unbalanced" and unstable 40 often resulting in a stuttering experience. I game on PC so I leave Sharpness at default and just use 4K DLSS Quality but on consoles you can try increasing it a bit (without exaggerating) to your liking if on Performance Mode it's too blurry for you

P40L0

What sharpness setting in game do you recommend? I'm playing balanced mode with ray tracing on an LG C3,
