Battlefield 6 Beta Players Want One Returning Feature Removed

by

During the initial open beta trials for Battlefield 6, some gamers reported issues with the game’s automatic High Dynamic Range (HDR) setting making outdoor landscapes excessively bright, even on screens lacking HDR support. While some Battlefield 6 beta testers offered solutions to mitigate this recurring HDR issue, others appealed to EA to either eliminate it or provide an option for players to customize its intensity to a preferred level.

Essentially, High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology is an option available on some TVs and monitors that enhances visuals by adjusting brightness and color to mimic what the human eye naturally perceives. This is done by combining advanced features like a wider range of contrast and higher bit depth. To use HDR, you’ll need an HDR-compatible display and either a compatible PC, game console (like PS5 or Nintendo Switch 2), or the system will default to Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) if it’s not supported.

Battlefield 6’s HDR Settings Are Too Bright For Some Users

Although the methods aimed at preventing cheating in Battlefield 6 are sparking debate, another recurring feature in Electronic Arts’ forthcoming game has garnered criticism from beta testers. A user named Edgeofsanity76 on the official Battlefield subreddit expressed dissatisfaction with a HDR effect designed to mimic real-world automatic eye adaptation between dark and bright environments. This HDR effect, which was also present in previous versions of Battlefield, can be observed on both HDR and Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) displays. Consequently, players using an SDR monitor will have a distinct gaming experience compared to those with HDR monitors in Battlefield 6. In response, some users have suggested potential solutions for this issue within Battlefield 6’s profile settings using Notepad.

Other beta testers requested Electronic Arts (EA) to incorporate an option to either turn off specific High Dynamic Range (HDR) effects or adjust them for comfort. Although the HDR effects of Battlefield 6 have been a source of contention, this hasn’t stopped the game’s open beta from being exceptionally popular. More than half a million Steam users registered for the Battlefield 6 Open Beta during its initial phase in early August, with a peak concurrent user count of 473,632 during that timeframe.

Those who didn’t participate in the initial Open Beta weekend for Battlefield 6 have a second opportunity from August 14 to 17. However, wait times during these sessions might still be lengthy. As for the adjustments Electronic Arts (EA) will make before the game’s official release on October 10, we’ll need to wait and see.
