The game is literally unplayable with hdr mode on. The current UI brightness slider even at 200% is still so dim compared to hdr off mode. It’s not my settings either because I have tried every configuration.

I checked the HDR option and only the brightness slider seems to have any effect. I restarted the game and turned off Windows auto HDR as that has solved this with other games in the past. Still no change.
