Still Wakes the Deep - HDR Optimized Settings (Patreon)

The game is NOT using/applying Xbox, Playstation or PC HDR Calibration app settings.

The game has a good HDR implementation as, even if it's not leveraging the system HDR Calibration, it actually offers an in-game Peak HDR Luminance slider in nits values which can go up to 10.000 nits along with an additional HDR UI Luminance slider.

If you have an LG OLED and:

> you're using Dynamic Tone Mapping or Dynamic Contrast:

Set HDR Content Brightness slider to: 4.000 (nits)

Set HDR UI Brightness to: 200 nits

> you're using HGIG:

Set HDR Content Brightness slider to: 800 (nits) or 1.000 (for G2/C4) or 1.500 (for G3/G4)

Set HDR UI Brightness to: 200 nits

If you don't have an LG OLED and:

> you don't have an HGIG option:

Set HDR Content Brightness slider to: 1.000 (nits)

Set HDR UI Brightness to: 200 nits

> you're using HGIG:

Set HDR Content Brightness slider to the corresponding real Peak HDR Luminance of your TV in "nits"

Set HDR UI Brightness to: 200 nits

BONUS:

Disable Film Grain & Chromatic Aberration: to much improve picture clarity. But if you want to preserve the '70s movie "style" you can re-enable them

Use Performance Mode on XSX/PS5: for the best smoothness, but notice that graphics will take an hit (especially animations). If you don't mind 30fps, re-enable Graphics Mode.

Enjoy :)
