## Describe your issue / feature…

Hello there,

Coming from [Color management support · Issue #9064 · hyprwm/Hyprland · GitHub](https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/issues/9064#issuecomment-2952103621), I am creating a new discussion on this!

I am trying to enable HDR and automatic HDR on games running on steam.  
I have tried multiple games, naming a few:

- Sniper elite 5 / resistance.
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Blair Witch (this runs natively on linux)
- Red dead redemption 2
- Clair obscur: Expedition 33

Running the games from Steam directly, forcing GE-Proton-latest from the compatibility tab, which would be version 10.10 atm with these settings:

`ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 gamemoderun %command%`  
OR  
`PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 gamemoderun %command%`

Running

```auto
❯ paru -Qe mesa
mesa 1:25.1.6-1

```

My monitor settings in HL:

```auto
monitorv2 {
    output = $monitor_left
    mode = 2560x1440@144
    transform = 3
    position = 0x0
    scale = 1
    bitdepth = 10
    # cm = hdr
    vrr = 3
    supports_wide_color = 1
    supports_hdr = 1
    sdrbrightness = 1.15
    sdrsaturation = 1.0
    sdr_min_luminance = 0.005
    sdr_max_luminance = 200
    min_luminance = 0
    max_luminance = 1000
    max_avg_luminance = 200
}

monitorv2 {
    output = $monitor_center
    mode = 3440x1440@175
    position = 1440x560
    scale = 1
    bitdepth = 10
    # cm = hdr
    vrr = 3
    supports_wide_color = 1
    supports_hdr = 1
    sdrbrightness = 1.15
    sdrsaturation = 1.0
    sdr_min_luminance = 0.005
    sdr_max_luminance = 200
    min_luminance = 0
    max_luminance = 1000
    max_avg_luminance = 200
}

# Default rule fallback
monitor = ,preferred,auto,auto

# experimental {
# xx_color_management_v4 = true
# }

render {
  cm_fs_passthrough = 0
  cm_auto_hdr = 2
}

```

Even when I enable the HDR in the monitor settings above, the games either do not have the HDR button enabled (it’s grey’ed out), or the HDR button is completely absent.

I am not sure if this is even the correct way to actually run the games, maybe I am doing something else wrong?

EDIT:  
Forgot to mention, `auto_hdr` does not kick off for me, meaning my monitor does not automatically go into HDR mode

I don’t speak HDR, but ujin said:

> it’s either a config issue, a hw issue or scRGB hdr. there are lots of env vars that work a bit differently with different proton versions. I just put all of them together. probably DXVK\_HDR is missing (it works both for dxvk and vkd3d). DXVK\_HDR=1 should make the game think that hdr is supported. it can be overridden by some other stuff though. ENABLE\_HDR\_WSI=1 shouldn’t be needed with mesa.  
> the easiest way to test is WAYLAND\_DEBUG=1. in most cases it’ll either show that the cm proto isn’t used. in some cases it’ll be srgb primaries with ext linear tf which means scRGB. scRGB needs 11084 for correct processing and 11000 to trigger auto hdr (internal fp16 might not be needed if it goes straight from the client’s fp16 to our hdr10 pq)

Should I be posting these somewhere that Ujin can see them?

Cool, I just don’t wanna bother you being the middle man 😃

With DXVK\_HDR=1 I fooled BG3 to actually go into HDR mode and the auto HDR worked fine. Enabling WAYLAND\_DEBUG as well I can see entries like

I would guess this is what I should see if it works. The thing is that both Sniper Elite and RDR2 have launchers; they do not launch directly. That would be an issue I would guess?

EDIT:

Checked if Sniper Elite changed behavior by just running the game directly, and it did not.

try launching the launcher with the env, or, export the env globally.

Hmm, I added

```auto
# HDR force on wayland and proton
env = DXVK_HDR,1
env = WAYLAND_DEBUG,1
env = PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND,1
env = PROTON_ENABLE_HDR,1

```

under my monitors and restarted, BG3 without any args runs HDR, Sniper Elite does not. I guess it is the game’s issue 🤷‍♂️

i use Proton\_EM available in protonplus. it makes things like HDR easy to handle. i only need “PROTON\_ADD\_CONFIG=wayland,ntsync DXVK\_HDR=1 %command%” that’s it. auto\_hdr i have not tryed yet - i’m not a friend of “auto”-things
