NVIDIA App is now available which has settings to enable RTX HDR in games - go download it from NVIDIA site! Will keep NvTrueHDR available here for those who wish to enable it in older drivers, or use it with multiple monitors.
TrueHDRTweaks should still work with the new drivers too, so you can customize some extra things that aren't available in NVIDIA App (eg. changing quality level to lessen performance impact, disabling the adaptive brightness, increasing peak brightness beyond what NVIDIA App allows...)
---
If you used NvTrueHDR in the past and now have issues with the NVIDIA App, try opening the old NV control panel's 3D settings page and press the Restore button, that should remove anything that NvTrueHDR had setup.
If you installed NVIDIA App but wish to use the driver-level RTXHDR that NvTrueHDR can enable, you'll need to disable the NVIDIA Overlay in the app settings, otherwise the overlay/freestyle version of RTXHDR will take precedence.

About NvTrueHDR AV detections, finally heard back from MS after submitting: "We cannot reproduce any detection on the file. If the detection is still observed, follow the steps below to capture support log files from the system reporting detection." ...
Before that response their cloud tool did briefly show it as "Win32/Phonzy", but since they responded it now shows as "No malware detected" again, not sure if that means they removed the detection themselves or maybe cloud tool RNG just decided it was safe again.
Hopefully the detections will be gone for now though, but if you still get any detection please let me know.
I'm losing my mind, I can't get RTX video enhancement to work on my PC literally at all. AutoHDR from Windows works and looks great, as does built-in HDR in games like CyberPunk. Everyone keeps saying RTX HDR looks better but it refuses to work.
Try the nvidia app (not the nvidia controll panel)
if you have, make sure overlay is on in the settings. they have / is having, issues with games crashing or lagging with it on and there hasn't been a proper fix, but its the only way to use RTX HDR rn.
u know its working if you get the nvidia overlay in-game when u press (alt + z). from there, you can either turn it on manually or try to set it up globally.
Quick Q, so when enabling this on specific games I need to paste the altered .dll if I want to configure the settings right? Is there a way to set up these settings' default elsewhere? I don't mind if I need to change it every time I switch games, it's just that the default settings have the middle gray wrong, so I need to tweak it else I lose some details in the whitest parts of the image which is not good.
Is there such functionality? Some games (specifically, marvel rivals and fortnite) don't allow for the .dll substitution without crashing, and I want to use it with tweaked settings on those games.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Love your mod man! It works flawlessly otherwise!
There's a user who's measured the default output of RTX HDR. How would we translate his values into TrueHDRTweaks? For example he says contrast should be -25%, would we simply change it to 0.75?
How do you exclude certain applications from getting RTX HDR applied when you use NvTrueHDR? E.g. Libre Office, YacReader, etc.
When I was using Nvidia App game filters, I could go into NvidiaProfileInspector, create a new profile, add the affected apps to it and change the value of 0x809D5F60 from 0x00000000 to 0x10000000.
Could someone please give a breakdown on how to get TrueHdrTweaks to work when they already have a reshade. The Reshade relies on the dxgi.dll (LIKE 2077)I have in the game directory already, so I don’t know how I can rename and add an additional dll to get TrueHdrTweaks to work.
Is it possible to toggle the two little grey boxes on the HUD with a hotkey? I like knowing immediately it's on and then just pressing something to toggle them off. Sometimes, I'll need to turn off HDR and this sometimes doesn't work on the first run of a game (I may need to launch-close-relaunch to see the two boxes appear).
Alternatively, just have the boxes appear for 15 seconds or so, then set them to disappear automatically.
:: Use PowerShell to replace the line powershell -Command "(Get-Content '%filePath%') -replace 'EnableIndicatorHUD = 1', 'EnableIndicatorHUD = 0' | Set-Content '%filePath%'"
echo Line updated successfully! pause
This sets the HUD overlay to visible at game start, waits 10 seconds, turns it off. This confirms it works and disappears quickly.
Make another file, name it RunHidden.vbs - Edit it as follows;
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.Run "cmd /c ToggleHUD.bat", 0, False
This simply runs the batch file in the background without a command window opening. You can skip it if you wish.
How you run this script is up to you. I use playnite, and add this line to the Edit Game Details - Scripts (execute before a game) section;
Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Doom 3\RunHidden.vbs" Then when I launch Doom 3 through playnite, the little HUD appears for a few seconds and disappears.
Hello, thank you for the files. I am a pretty much newbie. When the instruction says "rename the Ultimate ASI Loader winmm.dll to a DLL filename supported by your game", which dll are we talking about? For instance, one of the steam game I have, is it the dlss.dll file the game has in its sub folder, or steam_api64.dll in the EXE folder? Or, something else?
For example, I tried this with Doom 3. I placed all 3 files (x86 folder) in the same folder as Doom3.exe. Then I renamed winmm.dll to dsound.dll - This creates a truehdrtweaks.log when the game starts, confirming it's loaded. Then you can fiddle with the ini file as you wish.
In Palworld I can get the log to generate for TrueHDRTweaks which should mean that it's working (I also installed MsgBox, which says the same), but the settings simply aren't applied. When I enable using the NvTrueHDR.exe + HUD I see the HUD indicator, but when I use Tweaks, I can't get it to disable the Hud or do the side-by-side comparison, etc. None of the settings seem to work. I am running UE4SS (modded), so I wonder if that's causing problems. I don't think so though, because again, I can run NvTrueHDR.exe and everything works, I just can't adjust anything (except for the few settings in Inspector using the custom settings xml). Please help!

Bit of a pain but doable with some tinkering

NvAPI_DRS_SaveSettings failed with error -1 ;_;
Any idea why?
Edit:
The issue is fixed somehow after I opened the Nvidia App, so I would assume it being closed caused this.
For example he says contrast should be -25%, would we simply change it to 0.75?

However, this does not work when using NvTrueHDR.
Where can I find the file or the registry?

Make a batch file. Name it ToggleHUD.bat - Edit it as follows;
@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
:: Hardcoded file path - CHANGE THIS TO YOUR CONFIG FILE PATH
set "filePath=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Doom 3\truehdrtweaks.ini"
:: Immediately set to 1
powershell -Command "(Get-Content '%filePath%') -replace 'EnableIndicatorHUD = 0', 'EnableIndicatorHUD = 1' | Set-Content '%filePath%'"
:: Wait 10 seconds
echo Waiting 10 seconds before modifying "%filePath%"...
timeout /t 10 /nobreak >nul
:: Use PowerShell to replace the line
powershell -Command "(Get-Content '%filePath%') -replace 'EnableIndicatorHUD = 1', 'EnableIndicatorHUD = 0' | Set-Content '%filePath%'"
echo Line updated successfully!
