AutoToot VS AutoActions

It's not a refined/manual TAS, which is probably why. It uses this program to play the game for you https://github.com/TomDotBat/AutoToot/, which makes sense why it would make a mistake on a pattern and then do it perfectly later (something it does multiple times).

I've just discovered https://github.com/Codectory/AutoActions which detects when a user-defined process starts and can toggle HDR on, then back off again when it exits. I've gone through the list at https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_games_that_support_high_dynamic_range_display_(HDR)) to add entries for all the HDR-capable titles that I have installed.

For anyone with any of the myriad of HDR monitors that prefers to leave desktop mode in SDR RGB, I just discovered that the excellent Playnite game launcher has a feature where you can enable HDR on a per-game basis. Simply tick the "Enable HDR support" option under "Advanced" tab for the settings of the games that you want HDR turned on for. I was previously using the now-abandoned AutoActions for this, so glad to see there's an alternative in a tool I already use.

This is what I've been using, although I don't have an ultrawide monitor. I mainly use it to change it from 1440p to 1080p https://github.com/Codectory/AutoActions

You can use third party programs like https://github.com/Codectory/AutoActions which can automatically enable HDR first when you launch a game and automatically disable HDR when you close the game.

If your gpu supports HDMI 2.1 it will be better for bandwidth. As for HDR, while windows is getting better its still not great for desktop usage IMO. I like to use this tool here: https://github.com/Codectory/AutoActions/releases/tag/1.9.19.

There's an app called AutoActions which will allow you to automatically enable HDR on a per app basis which works really well for me. Unfortunately the author is no longer maintaining it, so hopefully nothing breaks!
