Have tried both these in the dxvk.conf file:

-DXVK_HDR=1
-dxgi.enableHDR = True

But in game HDR option is still grayed out in windows 11.

A lot of games need the vendor libraries Nvapi or amd ags working in order allow enabling HDR. Those won't work on Windows with dxvk.

So if I was running the game though Linux would the HDR option be available?

Should be, yes. Either way, this game is known to require vendor libraries for HDR.

This fix works for me, it enables in game HDR option, tested on Windows 11.

  1. The game must be in fullscreen.
  2. Make sure the "Layer Vulkan/OpenGL on DXGI swapchain " is enabled in nvidia profile inspector

  3. Then add this to dxvk.conf
    dxgi.hideNvidiaGpu = False

It still grayed out the HDR option, but it does force the use of in-game HDR mode when the game supports it. I never knew that one is still possible to do. Thank you!

@hyperspeed6 and this works to amd gpus?

This fix worked for me! Thanks a ton @hyperspeed6. I almost wasn't going to play the game if I couldn't get HDR working.

Edit: Just noticed this thread is about AC Origins. I'm playing AC Odyssey, it worked great for it too.

One of the more recent versions of DXVK made Exclusive Fullscreen inactive by default so in my case I also had to add "dxvk.allowFse = True" to the dxvk.conf file - otherwise HDR would activate but the colors would be all wrong.

This also allows to use RTX HDR with DXVK, on a separate note.
