I’m playing Station to Station, Cyberpunk, and Miles Morales currently. I’ve noticed when I stream from my main rig to the Deck the colors are drastically different from both what the game looks like natively on the SD and my rig’s own monitor. I’m curious as to what gives, and how/where to fix it.

-PC has a RTX 3060, current WHQL drivers -Steam Deck OLED 512GB on Stable channel -Colors are tilted towards too much red, orange, and brown in all 3 games. But only while streaming, playing off the Deck natively it looks more…natural?

EDIT: Preview 3.5.8 contains a fix to the issue.

Fixed incorrect colors (gamma) when using Steam In-Home Streaming.

    PC has tons of course. SD has a few, but they only apply when playing native, not streaming.

            Dude, how the fuck is adjusting the desktop display colors gonna fix the colors on the decks display?

            OP’s not being dense, you’re just being an ass while going on about a non-solution.

            Well look at that. They found and fixed the issue.

            Thanks for your “help.”

              Not the other guy, but when streaming the HDR OLED is likely not getting the full color data the way it does when you play directly on the deck.

              There’s nothing unusual happening here, although the deck OLED may need some way to adjust how it displays an SDR image.

                This is the same Steam Deck in both pics. On the HDR part, you are most likely right. Though I dont remember this being mentioned in any reviews.

                  Yeah I just noticed that, I edited my comment. That pretty much looks like HDR vs SDR. Still not unusual.

                  HDR makes a giant difference, and when you stream, you only get SDR color.

                    That does make sense, and unfortunately there arent a lot of settings for triggering or modifying it. Hey, thanks for the input! I’ll deal until the next color gamut patch, video driver config, etc. that they surprise us with.
