ETA for HDR fix for Xbox One X?

I've posted about this before, but have never seen ZOS acknowledge the problem. In summary - This game's HDR looks like garbage on the X. The colors are super saturated and all shadows are rendered in saturated overly bright shades of blue. When is this going to be fixed? It's not my TV, nor my TV's settings as plenty of other people with different TVs have this same problem. I honestly haven't bothered playing this game since I got my new Xbox One X and Vizio 55" 4K HDR TV because of the HDR problem. It just looks horrible. I have the option of turning the HDR on my xbox off, but I'm not going to turn it off and on again and again just to play ESO. Every other game and movie looks great with my TV's HDR. So seriously, when can we expect a fix for this? At the very least, acknowledgement of the problem would go a long way.

Thank you.

    I would like to know this myself. The color mode looks like when you've set your TV to a wide color gamut when you shouldn't. I would love a fix as right now I have to play without HDR for the game to look good. I know some will say "it's your TV," but it truly isn't. This is all on the developers need to fix this game.

    I was also hoping for a fix, coming with the Summerset update, but unfortunately colors are still super saturated and HDR brightness setting doesn’t seem to have any effect at all.

    Same issue here, I've turned the color setting down a bit to help with the saturation while playing.

    Are you also having an issue with the zoom on the map? I'm wondering if it's a 4K issue also.
    On the regular Xbox One, the map zooms like in like it normally should but on the Xbox One X it doesn't zoom in 'closer' on the regions.
