ow is the background in the main menu? Is that also very dark?
no the menu screens that form a band down the middel of the game window from setup are fine I tried it with the HDR on in your setup as it selected it as the default I tried full screen and Windowed with no major change I was tring with firstt HDR set to max gama in your setup then with it off and brightness and contrast at max
Double check that HDR is disabled: hold the Cmd button on game startup to get to the configuration menu, if it is not coming up automatically (which should be the case, with an option to turn off).
From a quick search it looks like the Radeon R9 M290X does have some HDR support, though, so as long you are also outputting to a display that has HDR support, this may be an issue with the settings.
The version of the game I have is via the Apple App Store Version 3.6.69.4648
The Basic HDR resolutions as well as the defauls from the display 2560X1440 is the default I normaly run at 2048x1142 but 1600x900 is anothe basic selectio 2860X1620 and 3200X1800 going in the other direction but text is to hart to read up there so 2048X1142 is my normal Higher res is posable i understand by messing about in the terminal comands but I dont do that sort of thing much any more the actual specs are AMD Radeon R9 M295X:
Chipset Model: AMD Radeon R9 M295X Type: GPU Bus: PCIe PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 4 GB Vendor: AMD (0x1002) Device ID: 0x6938 Revision ID: 0x0000 ROM Revision: 113-C773AA-731 VBIOS Version: 113-C773A1-014 EFI Driver Version: 01.00.731 Metal: Supported, feature set macOS GPUFamily2 v1 Displays: iMac: Display Type: Built-In Retina LCD Resolution: 5120 x 2880 Retina Framebuffer Depth: 30-Bit Color (ARGB2101010) Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Automatically Adjust Brightness: No Connection Type: Internal

To calibration HDR, if you have not already done so: - Ensure you have Automatic Brightness Adjustments enabled (System Preferences/Display) - Go to Options->HDR settings - Start with Max Brightness and Min Contrast - Press ‘Apply’ - DON’T apply general video settings. Just click close button and Discard the settings; there is a known bug with this - next, adjust the HDR Brightness/Contrast settings to your preference
Try creating a new user account, switch to that account and try starting the game from there, from the app container (in /Applications).
Try doing a clean boot and test the game. Start/restart your Mac and hold the Shift key down as soon as the progress bar comes up in the startup window, releasing it after the desktop appears. Alternately, from the login window, hold the Shift key when you click the Log In button, and release it when you see the Dock
