The game is actually still displaying HDR as indicated by an icon on my Television. However, everything looks like it has a gray filter. I'll update with a screenshot.

The second pic is an old one from February and has my Chatacter Screen up, but it's of the same spot(note the background).

    There is already at least 2 threads bout the issue. the issue is on both consoles and ZOS is investigating at the moment and will tell us when they have a fix ready for it.

    I thought the colour looked a bit washed out...

    Here is a side by side I took, I'm not sure if it's just HDR that's screwed up... both are in 4K, one is with brightness and HDR brightness turned all the way up...one is with brightness and HDR brightness turned all the down... can't remember which is which sorry! It's like it's not in 4K at all.. it's so terrible and the settings don't work at all.

    No. It's working now. Old version was FUBAR. You can tell it was messed up by looking at the blur shadows in the old pic. Hopefully ZO doesn't revert it, otherwise I'm gonna go nuts.

    This is how the game has always looked for me on regular ps4. Other screenshot looks way too bright and over saturated.

    The game world looks like it went through heavy sepia and desaturation filters on my end. The UI and loading screens look fine though.

    I thought that the loading screens still looked good as well. Odd.

    Wow that second pic is bright.... My game has always looked like the first one, but then my TV isn't HDR, but I'd need sunglasses to play with the colours that bright lol.

    The post-patch pic looks par for the course tbh

    The sky might be a little washed out but pre-patch looks like it took a few too many whacks with the saturation levels in photoshop

    These are screenshots taken with the Xbox One, so I don't exactly know how the HDR would translate to imgur; and this is all done on my phone. But you can definitely tell a difference in color between the two. Something happened with the update that wasn't mentioned in patch notes.

    OK i’m sorry to read/hear about folks having problems with hdr on PS4 and Xbox 1 x but I feel this question needs to be asked, if the fix has to be done by a client side update will it be targeted to hdr consoles or is it going to be a case of everyone gets it regardless?.. if it’s “everyone gets it regardless” then fingers crossed any patch will be small, it’s getting a bit tedious now downloading an extra 15 gb of hdr stuff every patch that will never see use on the vast majority of console specs playing the game.

    This is the thing that will cause me to cancel my ESO+ for the first time in 2 years. I can't stand to look at it. Lots of chatter about the color in zone and guild chats last night.

    Thanks. Seeing this, I can't stay being mad at the devs for screwing up.

    You get an awesome for comedic gold.

    You can disable HDR in the Xbox settings and still enjoy 4k.
