Filippo Tarpini has released a new mod for CONTROL that adds native HDR and Ultrawide support to it. This is a must-have mod for everyone that has an HDR monitor, and we highly recommend downloading it.
Furthermore, this mod adds a new “Max” texture settings to improve the slow texture streaming. By using it, players can eliminate (or at least minimize) the low-resolution textures that can appear in the game. Not only that but the mod fixes a launcher issue that affected Intel Arc GPUs.
You can download this HDR Mod from here. Below you can also find its complete changelog.

Unfortunately, this force-enables HDR in Windows regardless if it is enabled in game or not.
You have to do that anyway, even with games that have native hdr support.
But I don’t want to use HDR, that’s the problem. But the game enables it anyway.
I see.
I see.
It says in the link that this is not correct. Seems like you simply don’t know how to switch hdr on and off. By the way in windows 11 you can use windows key +alt +b to toggle hdr on and off. Very Very handy shortcut.
Very handy command!
Ah yes, the good old “everything is perfect, user is just an idiot”. Did you wake up today and decided you’ll be an a**hole?
Can be turned off without issues.
It shouldn’t be turned on in the first place.
Yes mod called Control HDR rework should not enable HDR, because reasons.
It shouldn’t enable HDR in Windows when it is disable din the game itself, jack*ss.
Ah I see, you just cannot read the mod description, got it.
Not in every game. Some games, such as Doom Eternal, do not require HDR to be turned on in the Windows settings.
Yeah those games turn it on automatically in the background.
You still want to use hdr in windows for doom eternal. I’ve tried it without and hdr doesn’t look the same as when you enable it in windows. So therefor it’s not displaying correctly all the time.
I’ve gotten pretty used to it by now, its quick. if i look up a game at pcgamingwiki and it says it has hdr then i always turn it on in windows before playing. Might as well, games don’t clearly say if they turn on hdr automatically or not.
Another fun mod is one that makes great use of Physx, such an underused feature.
Which mod is that?
Brilliant!

I think the game’s pretentious and boring as f*k personally but this is really good too see, proper HDR should be mandatory in 2023.
That’s because you aren’t educated enough in esoteric stuff. If you think something is pretentious that just means you don’t understand it.
Can’t wait to test and see if the FSR2 mod works properly in it now.
Edit: it’s almost perfect
Holy sh*t this is huge. I love this game but hate the texture streaming trash and the lack of hdr support. Auto hdr is nice but I’d like to see how this compares.
For anyone curious I spent like 5 hours playing with this and it’s incredible. The only time it’s a little weird is when something is super bright and saturated like the furnace and even that is pretty good. I might be able to fix it with nvidia freestyle.
If you’re using the FSR2 mod, set HDR in the nvngx ini to Disabled (or Off?)
One of my all time faves. I still have it installed. May be time for another playthrough. Shame there’s no new game plus.
Ok, yep. The mod 100% fixes the FSR2 mod. It’s absolutely glorious.
Cool.
I just like the helpful information you provide in your articles
