Hello,
I messed around too much with HDR settings and brightness setting when HDR was off and now I have this sort of washed out, over exposed picture. The white levels are too bright, it's as if there is too much gamma.
I deleted cvars files and tried to reset the setting somehow, but the setting don't really change. I am reinstalling now, but I have serious doubts it won't go back to being the same.
Any idea else I can do?
EDIT:
I will attempt some repro steps and add some more information, so this thread isn't as useless, but I would really like somebody to read it at least.
So, I have GeForce GTX 1660 and 27" ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQ display.
I believe I discovered HDR option in Destiny after turning it on manually in Windows 10 settings (because until then, I hadn't been using it).
It worked fine and looked fine as hell too.
I tried to mess around with the HDR calibration settings because I believe it was too dark by then, as the brightness setting without HDR turned on was I believe set to "1".
I figured out that the brightness setting without HDR turned on seemed to have had some effect on the HDR and the calibration settings for HDR, so I started combining it too.
Then I noticed that after exiting Destiny (I usually do so with alt+f4), the setting seemed to kind of carry over, so I got to the point, where the white point seems to be too high (too much exposure maybe), which is the current state and is undesirable.
In the meantime I installed a new motherboard and cloned my HDD and transfered to SSD, where I also transfered Destiny 2 as well. I also had to reinstall GeForce and got new driver.
I still think the problem is as it with the listed known issue.
Basically, what I am asking for is: is there a way to actually reset all the settings? So that it doesn't carry over, so that it is mint condition?
Destiny used to have a problem with not remembering settings, not it maybe remembers too much and is stuck in a groundhog's day and tries to set the right brightness, becoming more enlightened with each exit

So, I somehow managed to get the settings to a point, that isn't bugged, aka the HDR was okay, through restarts and changes of settings, and now at the end of a strike, where I received a level up, it went buggy again. Strange
