Yea, my bad, I think at the time I thought I remembered being able to adjust it in HDR, unless they locked it after the firmware update, I didn't check the HDR settings pre-update only SDR.
In HDR you cannot change the black level, that is default, I assume it is high. You can however adjust "black stabilizer" to your liking. The image was taken at 50 (default) black stabilizer.
Here's what it looks like on my display. I can't adjust the ISO on my phone so I used night mode. In person it looks great. And no the screen isn't that glary in person you don't see a glare, the camera picks up one though.
That's because they changed the default "Black Level" setting from Low to High. I only know because I wrote down the default settings on my display prior to updating.
The game is also on sale with a 50% discount on Steam this weekend.

Yea I just installed it a few days ago to run a few test with my hardware. Then got the update today. Seeing how much effort went into this patch 1.5 years after launch does make me want to revisit it.
Nice.. I want to pick up playing this game again..
Oh and I saw some people on YT who applied the unreal engine VR mod to this and play it in VR just oooing and aaaaaing the whole time lol. I bet it looks incredible in VR.
I don't know how to test EOTF tracking unfortunately. I also do not have a spectrophotometer, just an i1 display pro. Someone with pro tools will probably have to test it. I think if you changed the Max frame-avg, it would affect the entire curve...
Thanks for the clarification on this.
Assuming 115 = 600 nits and 127 = 800 nits. (approximately)
Edited, with new information for those who want to test it (estimated settings):
600 nits: 115
700 nits: 121
800 nits: 127
900 nits: 133
1000...

I don't have the "lockup" issue you're describing. Have you tried uninstalling your old displays? You can do so with DDU.
Also test out HDMI if you haven't, when I bought the monitor I tested both HDMI and DP1.4, in games and general usage and...
HDR is brighter. Whites still clip around 605 nits in Windows HDR Calibration, I they have more work to do there, they didn't change the EDID peak brightness, this is likely holding it back from being properly calibrated through Windows HDR...
