Auto HDR On/Off completely broken after latest Alpha update.

Hi,

If you've got the latest graphics driver and Windows updates then it could be that the game doesn't support Auto HDR. While most PC titles should support Auto HDR It's still a little hit and miss on PC.

Unless your monitor/TV has at least HDR 600 (600 Nits peak brightness) it's usually not worth turning on.

Best to ask over on the Journey Steam community Forum

Update: I tried the 4K UHD Blu-Ray version of the Martian (brand new), and the same problem occurred. Stuttering and dropped frames with HDR enabled on the XBox, and flawless playing with HDR turned off. Once again, auto brightness was turned off, motion
smoothing features turned off, my Vizio P55-C1 definitely supports HDR10 (it's getting an HDR signal from the XBox when I have HDR turned on) and firmware updates for the TV are automatic.

I'm not in the insider program is there a fix for me or do I have to join it to fix it?

Well I guess if it's not working again, then it's still not fixed

FYI, I tried recording 4K HDR & SDR 30 second clips to my external Seagate HDD after updating to the latest Alpha Dashboard yesterday morning. Unfortunately it appears that the fix isn't working as all
of my test clips were 22 seconds long & unplayable (they freeze after 1 or 2 seconds). I filed an Alpha Insiders problem report to let the Dashboard team know that the issue was still happening.

That's extremely disappointing, @Frathos. I mentioned in the subreddit that I wonder if part of the reason for the problem is how demanding 4k/60p HDR capture must be on the system that is also trying to run said 4k/60p HDR game. This is especially the case
with how many new features have been added to the Xbox since release.

I wonder if a "recording only" mode is possible to where only the gameplay and recording take priority on system resources, and only core services like party chat/invites are turned on. Everything else like the microsoft store or streaming apps are turned
completely off in this mode.

What's so strange is that 4k/60p HDR recording had been working so flawlessly for months and months. I don't see how it has suddenly broken for most people.

Please join the subreddit and post any progress you see since you're an alpha member (are you skip-ahead alpha?), so at least if the problem does get fixed I can know an update is coming to poor-old-me in Delta tier in days instead of weeks or months.

Hi Francia, thank you for the suggestion. After following your instructions on turning off the Auto-HDR and restarting my Xbox, it still seems like the problem continues.
