# WindowHDRWorkaround
## About
Elden Ring has a glitchy fullscreen mode and uses outdated APIs that
require fullscreen to implement its HDR mode. This workaround enables
running the game in borderless windowed mode with HDR enabled, using
current APIs.
If HDR is already working well for you in Elden Ring, don't use this
as it will probably make things worse. The game's use of older APIs
remains, so if that actually does something it will probably conflict
with this workaround and cause new problems.
WindowHDRWorkaround is implemented as a slightly modified version of
ReShade, so you can also use it as you would a ReShade dll, but be
aware that most filters will be incompatible with HDR.
## Usage
* Copy the provided dxgi.dll to the same folder as eldenring.exe.
* Run the game with Easy Anti-Cheat disabled.
Use https://www.nexusmods.com/eldenring/mods/98 or similar.
* Set the game to display in fullscreen mode (it will be ignored.)
* Enable HDR in game.
Colors will be incorrect during game startup, until the main menu appears.
HDR has to be enabled in-game for colors to appear correctly. If you
want to disable it, remove the dll.
