Hi everyone,

We've made the decision to revert the recent changes to HDR while we continue to investigate solutions for the original issue. You can expect to see this in an incremental patch scheduled for early October. Thanks again for all your feedback.

Cheers for the update Gina! Excellent news!

Admittedly, I'm one of the (less vocal) people who liked the changes. Granted, I personalized my TV settings to take advantage of my 4K UHD + Xbox S combo when I bought the TV so perhaps I saw something "better" than the average affected person; the Wolfhunter changes simply made the details sharper, and things less... overtly vibrant. However, I think with so many people being upset the changes did need to be addressed. I just hope that - as @ZOS_MattFiror hinted at - a compromise is found between the original settings and the new settings, rather than simply reverting to the old exceedingly saturated graphics and leaving well enough alone.

Better than some1 with an LG 4k OLED UHD TV... perhaps not!

Thank you so much Gina for the update, and many thanks to the devs for making this call; I know there'll be some people who are disappointed it's reverting to the way it was, but given the overwhelming negative reaction to the change I think it's the right thing to do.

In an ideal world it never would have gone live like this - there's just no way anyone with a capable HDR display could possibly have looked at that and said "that looks better"! - but without a PTS for the console versions I guess that's up to whatever internal testing they've got. And the problem with HDR is that it's a very different proposition across different displays - not just different technologies (OLED, LCD) but different brands etc). I'd guess the fact that HDR support is console-exclusive doesn't help - in other words, it's not part of the game's normal rendering pipeline.

Anyway, very happy we'll be back in a colourful Tamriel again soon; could I perhaps suggest an in-game HDR on/off toggle be added so the people that dislike it can disable it without having to do so at a console settings level?

Also happy birthday for yesterday, Gina!

This was the right thing to do.

WOW....I mean just WOW

So its been broken since PS4 Pro update and years later … removed with no plans to fix and now due to outcry, reverted back to the mess we had

Will this weeks patch maintenance be addressing the HDR issue?

Thanks for fixing HDR. First proper session this week for me and the game looks so SO much better. Buying and spending crowns again to celebrate.

Thank you!
