HDR Too Dark on Windows 10

  • I'm using an Alienware AW2721D monitor which is Vesa HDR 600 certified. When doing the HDR calibration in game, the test image goes pure white somewhere between 600-650. Seems correct. However, when I get into an actual game, everything is amazingly dark - even holding the lantern in the tavern, it's hard to see anything. I had to disable HDR to make the game playable again. Is this a bug or something I need to adjust in Windows 10? I have HDR turned on all the time in Windows 10, FWIW, and I am using a GTX 1070 on displayport.

    Other HDR content (e.g. Doom Eternal, YouTube, Netflix) displays just fine.
