If you find that the graphics to be too dark, too bright and/or washed out, when playing Remnant 2 on consoles, then you can check out this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech to see how you can fix these HDR and brightness issues.

Before we begin, it is important to note that Remnant 2 does not natively support HDR, at least not at launch. With that said, the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S all come with the ability to convert SDR to HDR.

1. If you want to play Remnant 2 with SDR to HDR conversion, then you should make sure that you properly set it up on your console.

On the PlayStation 5, open the console’s Settings menu and then select Screen and Video > Video Output > HDR > Always On. On the same screen, select Adjust HDR and then follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate the brightness output.

For the Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S, open the system’s Settings menu and then select General > TV & display options > Video modes > Auto HDR. Afterwards, return to the General > TV & display options menu and then select “Calibrate HDR for games.” Finally follow the on-screen instructions.

2. If the brightness still looks off, then you can go to the System > Options menu in Remnant 2. From there, you should be able to find the Brightness slider.

By default, this is set to 50. You can increase or decrease it to your liking until the brightness display in the game appears just right.

You may need to return to this menu to re-adjust when moving from a dark scene to a bright scene and vice versa.

3. You can also try adjusting the brightness and contrast settings from your television screen or gaming monitor.

4. You should make sure you have the latest patch downloaded for Remnant 2 as well as a new update may help add HDR support and/or fix the brightness display issues in the game.

Recommended DualSense Edge settings for Remnant 2

by

To get you through the tough fights in Remnant 2, you might want to consider playing this game with the DualSense Edge. To see what the best settings are when it comes to using this gamepad for the third-person shooting role-playing game, you can take a look at this Seeking Tech guide.

Custom Button Assignments

Remnant 2 features the following button layout for the DualSense controller:

  • Left Analog: Move or shift camera
  • L3: Sprint
  • Right Analog: Move camera or scope
  • Up Directional Pad Button: Flashlight
  • Down Directional Pad Button: Emote
  • L1: Dragon Heart or Alt Mode
  • L2: Aim
  • R1: Alt Fire Mode
  • R2: Shoot while aiming or attack when not aiming
  • L2 and R2: Use primary skill
  • Square: Interact or use Item 1
  • Triangle: Switch weapon, or use item 2
  • X: Dodge, vault or use item 3
  • Circle: Crouch or use item 4
  • Touchpad: Map
  • Options: Menu

The DualSense Edge features two back buttons that can be assigned to any of the aforementioned action buttons.

We ended up assign the left back button for L3 so that we can sprint without having to press down hard on the left analog stick. For the right back button, we assigned it to the Up Directional Pad Button so that you don’t have to take your left thumb off of the left analog stick in order to turn on the flashlight.

Of course, you can configure the back buttons, as well as other buttons, to your liking. There aren’t any in-game settings in Remnant 2 where you can reassign the buttons. Therefore, you need to use the Custom Button Assignments menu of the DualSense Edge.

Trigger Stops

Since you will be shooting a lot in this game, we recommend that you pull the L2 and R2 sliders located on the backside of the Edge controller all the way to the bottom to enable quick fire.

If you would like the trigger inputs to feel even more responsive in the game, then you can head over to the controller’s Trigger Deadzone menu to further fine tune the sensitivity.

Stick Sensitivity

If you have a hard time aiming in the game, then you can head over to the System > Options menu in Remnant 2. From there, you will be able to adjust the following:

  • Horizontal Camera Sensitivity
  • Vertical Camera Sensitivity
  • Horizontal Aiming Sensitivity
  • Vertical Aiming Sensitivity
  • Horizontal Scope Sensitivity

You can also head over to the Stick Sensitivity and Deadzones menu of the DualSense Edge to adjust the sensitivity and dead zones of the controller.

Input Lag

To prevent any potential input lag, we recommend that you use the controller via the USB communication method. In order to do so, you should first plug the DualSense Edge directly to the PS5 via a USB cable.

Afterwards, open the Settings menu of your PlayStation 5 and then select Accessories > Controller (General) > Communication Method > Use USB Cable in order to use the gamepad via wired communication while playing Remnant 2.

When opening and logging into your ChatGPT account, you may encounter the “something went wrong” error message. To see how you can potentially fix this issue with the Android application, you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. For the first potential solution, you can try updating the Google Play Store App by taking the following steps:

3. Other apps could conflict with the ChatGPT app. In this case, try to close any other opened apps you have on your device. You may also want to consider closing any applications that are running in the background.

4. Restarting your phone may help with fixing the “something went wrong” error.

5. There is a possibility that there could be an issue with the ChatGPT servers. To check if there are any server downtime or other issues, you can keep an eye on the official OpenAI Twitter page.

To improve your performance, you might want to consider playing Exoprimal with the DualSense Edge. You can check out this guide from Seeking Tech to see what settings you can use for this controller when it comes to fighting against dinosaurs and competing against others in this team-based third-person shooter.

Custom Button Assignments

You can find the default button layout for the DualSense controller in Exoprimal below:

  • X: Jump
  • R2: Primary Attack
  • L2: Active Skill #1 or Aim
  • R1: Active Skill #2
  • L1: Active Skill #3
  • L3: Sprint or Scope Magnification
  • Square: Reload or Interact
  • Triangle: Rig Skill
  • Circle: Place Craft
  • Triangle and Circle: Overdrive
  • Touchpad: Suit Change
  • Up Directional Pad: Comm Wheel
  • Right Directional Pad: Help Navigation
  • Left Directional Pad: Player List
  • Down Directional Pad: Suit Details
  • R3: Set Marker

Since the DualSense Edge comes with two back buttons that can be assigned to any of the action buttons, we suggest that you assign the left back button to L3 and then the right back button to R3.

By using the back button for the L3 actions, you no longer have to awkwardly press down on the left analog stick to run or use the scope magnification. You also no longer need to press the right analog stick down in order to set a marker.

Of course, you can set the back buttons any way you see fit. For more button customizations , you can go to the in-game Settings menu and then navigate your way over to Controller >Button Mapping.

Trigger Stops

To make aiming and firing your weapons a lot more responsive, we suggest that you move the sliders of the L2 and R2 buttons all the way to the bottom on the back of your DualSense Edge.

You can also head over to the Trigger Deadzone menu on the PlayStation 5 to further adjust how sensitive you want the two trigger buttons to be.

Stick Sensitivity and Deadzones

We found that the default sensitivity and dead zones of Exoprimal to be a little off when aiming our weapons.

Fortunately, you can manually adjust the aim sensitivity, dead zone, acceleration and response curve of the analog sticks from the in-game Setting menu by heading over to Controller > Controller Settings.

You can also head over to the Stick Sensitivity and Deadzones menu of the Edge from the PS5 system menu if you need to fine tune the analog stick movements.

Wired Communication

To prevent any potential input lag that may have resulted when using the DualSense Edge as a wireless gamepad, we recommend plugging the controller directly into your PS5.

Afterwards, open the console’s Settings menu and then select Accessories > Controller (General) > Communication Method > Use USB Cable.

Keep the Edge plugged into your PS5 to make sure that you are playing Exoprimal with very little button input latency.
