[6.20][7.0beta] Washed out screenshots with recent AMD Radeon drivers

[rbayer]

Issue:
Screenshots taken with Steam screenshot function started appearing washed out several months ago. This affected game versions 6.20 as well as 7.0 beta. Taking screenshots with Windows built in screenshot function [Windows+PrintScreen] remains unaffected. Steam screenshots of other games were also unaffected.

Things that were tried that did not fix the issue:
* looking for HDR settings (could not find any, and I don't have HDR monitors)
* resetting X4 graphics settings
* upgrading to latest AMD driver

Finally discovered that downgrading to an older version of the AMD driver fixed the issue. The issue seems to have started when I updated the driver to 23.12.1 last December.

AMD Adrenaline Edition versions I tested:
23.4.2 - working normally
23.12.1 - washed out screenshots
24.3.1(latest) - also washed out screenshots

Same here, when tried to do screenie with steam f11 or 12 it gave blurry screenshots. This was from a month or two back I think.

This is something you should probably report to AMD if it's specific to particular driver versions. We can look into it but it's unlikely that we'd be able to do anything about it ourselves, and while we can speak to AMD, such reports are usually better off coming from the individuals actually experiencing the problem.

Mentioned it to a amd rep at ocuk forums about it, maybe something will come of it.

unfortunately my graphics card is too new for the older drivers.
Driver "Setup has Detected an incompatible build. Setup will now Exit.

Radeon RX 7600 XT 16GB

Interestingly, I can take screenshots using the Windsows + Print button that look exactly like ingame.

It's the only game in my list where this occurs (currently only have 1 game that uses Vulcan) and from the linked forum, it seems to be a major issue with Radeon and Vulcan drivers.
Nvidia does not currently have the problem.


maybe one of the drivers uses a forced HDR (I have switched it off completely in Windows and the Radeon settings)

Does Vulcan have a config option somewhere regarding HDR?
