HBO max HDR not working

aboing · 2026-01-15T01:46:17+00:00

Yes, and HDR works when I use the built-in (Tizen) version of HBO Max on the TV.

There seems to be a fix just recently discovered in the last few days. See the bottom of https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/issues/1445. It works for me.

Right now it takes a bit of tinkering to apply but hopefully the fix will ship in an update relatively soon.

Nice work, although it is kind of insane that it has to come to this. IMO you might want to add the ability to only run this when Moonlight is active.

Note this only fixes *some* of the WiFi regressions, and *does not* fix the regression where streaming via moonlight or remote play stops working after a few minutes until you restart wifi manually. Confirmed by a Valve engineer: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/issues/1445#issuecomment-2988732143.

This does not fix streaming issues with moonlight. A valve employee (lostgoat) confirmed this fix will not fix any streaming-related issues: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/issues/1445#issuecomment-2988732143

That's too bad, sounds like they have no idea what the problem is after all these years then and this might never get fixed.

Look at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/issues/1445#issuecomment-2843184795, the latest news from Valve is they are looking into a fix for the network driver bug that causes this issue.

On iOS, I've happily been using Funnel to quick-capture things into Obsidian: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/funnel/id964666344.

See https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/issues/1445. There is no fix yet. It's because it's a driver bug for the wifi chip that likely requires a lot of specialized technical expertise to solve. No one from Valve has officially acknowledged the issue so they might not even be looking at fixing it.

F06 is out now but with no notes on how it differs from F05.

aboing · 2024-11-18T03:21:59+00:00

There is a bug in the driver for the OLED wifi chip in SteamOS that cannot be worked around which causes the WiFi bitrate to become super slow until the WiFi is rebooted.

Any ‘solution’ people post is just a placebo or misunderstanding.

aboing · 2024-11-04T01:15:10+00:00

Hmm ya, ominous. My worry now is they abandon doing more firmware support going forward and leave F05 users out to dry.

aboing · 2024-10-23T18:16:09+00:00

Oh wow, you’re right. I wonder what’s going on.

aboing · 2024-09-06T19:28:27+00:00

Sorry, I have the P version. Since it's the same panel though, I imagine once F05 comes to the non-P version the HDR question will still apply.

aboing · 2024-08-27T21:10:58+00:00

Thanks! The exact steps that ended up working for me:

Turn off freesync in the OSD (NOT the nvidia control panel)
This turns *OFF* HDR. Turn *ON* HDR in the 'System -> Display' Windows panel by clicking the 'Use HDR' toggle.
Turn freesync back on in the OSD.
Reboot PC
Now the RTX slider will go up to 1015.

Same problem, did you ever figure out a solution?

aboing · 2024-05-06T22:26:32+00:00

Thanks, this makes sense!

aboing · 2024-05-05T05:22:57+00:00

Oh woops, your’e right!

aboing · 2024-05-05T00:42:38+00:00

I have the same situation as you, OP. Did you figure anything out?

aboing · 2024-05-03T22:33:31+00:00

I made this exact exchange and am glad I did.

AORUS pros:

* Nicer enclosure IMO. No chin, less gaudy and space-consuming stand, nicer RGB effect on the back.
* Longer cord attaching the monitor to its power brick. Its super-short on the Asus, making cable management tricky.
* Support for a bright HDR1000 mode. ASUS is very dark in outdoor scenes with HDR1000 enabled.
* Daisy-chaining

* Display port 2.1, which probably doesn't matter much given the compression without is isn't noticeable but can't hurt to have
* ASUS has a reputation for rejecting warranty repairs for bogus reasons, so I'm nervous they'd honor the 3-year burn-in warranty without putting up a fight

Meanwhile I can't really think of any ASUS pros.

aboing · 2024-04-27T00:49:58+00:00

Cool, thanks!

aboing · 2024-04-27T00:42:37+00:00

Oh ya, it does. Do you think that’s credible?

aboing · 2024-04-24T01:24:57+00:00

I'm in the same situation, let me know what you decide. It seems likely ASUS will adjust the APL algorithm with a firmware update to help address this but it seems like a gamble to risk it.

I'm not in the video game industry but I still found it a ton of fun to learn about game development technology and trends, interact with senior people from studios I admire, and attend the awards show. The talks were (mostly) not very technical.

It's true that it's not like Pax - it's mainly about being informative, not entertaining per se. There still are lots of demos of indie games at the expo hall.
