I read in another place that D:OS 2 was supposed to have received an HDR patch (I'm on the very latest GOG Galaxy update of the game and so assume I am current), and the game really looks sort of punk on my HDR monitor (see hardware list below) when enabled--it's very flat. Doesn't look as nice as standard D3d. Indeed, my monitor has an HDR-Emulation mode that actually noticeably improves on the normal D:OS2 D3d display--the mode is designed for non-HDR programs, to give them the look of a much higher dynamic range display. It works well, but that is hardly the point with regard to D:OS2 supporting HDR.
Here's the thing: another HDR game I own, Obduction, looks drop-dead gorgeous on the same HDR monitor, same OS version, same hardware. The game looks so much better in fact, that now when running it I find that the normal, non-HDR mode looks downright shabby--and this is a game that I thought was beautiful--before I saw it in HDR! HDR is my standard play for Obduction now.
Just wondering if Larian is aware of this issue--or even gives it much in the way of priority. D: OS2 is a feast for the eyes normally, but can't help thinking how much better it could look with an HDR mode like Obduction is using!
