Do you plan to enable HDR support?

    Hi,

    Just wondering if there are plans to enable HDR support in Empyrion. I know Unity supports it, but the game doesn't currently. My monitor reverts to "HDR Emulated" mode, which really isn't very good. Dark stuff becomes darker, bright stuff not so bright.

    Well, this topic doesn't seem to have gained any interest, do many not use HDR displays currently? I thought the tech was become more normal. I mean, I have an HDR monitor and I'm rarely cutting edge lol.

    The reason lack of support in Empyrion is a problem is because the "emulated" HDR - the best the monitor can do when game doesn't support it - is particularly bad. For example, I'm on Masperon - the swap starter - the sun is overhead, dazzlingly bright, yet the ground is barely illuminated at all. I'm using the torch of all things, to clearly see the terrain during the day!

    I've adjusted the game's brightness settings, but not managed to obtain a good balance yet. If anyone else has an HDR monitor and can suggest good settings for Empyrion in "Emulated" HDR, that'd be great.

    So, I launched Empyrion today and... it's running with full HDR support! It's NEVER done that before, usually dropping in an "HDR Emulated" mode, which is quite dark. I haven't changed any settings!
