  • I actually upgraded to Windows 11 specifically because I was told they fixed HDR. I do have an RX7600 so it’s technically “last gen” but I’m running DP (I have no idea which version but it has to be at least 1.4 because it runs 1080p at 180Hz). Washed out SDR content isn’t that bad, I actually didn’t even notice until I dragged a window playing SDR content to my second monitor that doesn’t have HDR and the blacks looked, well, blacker. I don’t doubt that it’s worse on Linux, I wasn’t trying to defend it. Just wanted to point out that it seems like no OS that isn’t designed to run only on TVs gives a crap about the HDR experience.



  • I run W11 daily and it isn’t fixed. Sure, HDR content works but my screen needs to flicker for a bit before it gets enabled and sometimes it doesn’t. Don’t even get me started on games that require you to have it on in the system before you can turn it on in the game. Sure, I could just leave it on all the time but then SDR content looks washed out. I’m not saying it doesn’t work, just that it’s kinda annoying. As you mentioned, I can just turn on my TV, play an HDR video and it works, then switch to a SDR content and it also works. When am I getting that experience on PC?












  • Seems like you’re having a hard time with the game. I also got my ass kicked a lot when I started it, so here’s some shit I wish I knew:

    1. Shadow step (shadow walk?), the one that makes you invisible, allows you to steal anything that isn’t nailed down so go steal some paintings.
    2. You can use the Pyramids in combat.
    3. Stealth is useless in the EE, don’t bother with it.
    4. Bombs are OP, use them.
    5. Poison is flammable
    6. Skills are your main weapon. I don’t know if this needs to be said at all but I spent half of my first playthrough trying to do damage with just melee and that will get you nowhere.
    7. On the point of skills, the touch-skills are also OP. They only take 1 AP and provide massive crowd control.
