    G'Day,

    As I am photographer my monitors need to be spot on and calibrated regularly with a ColorMunki calibrator. What I have noticed is if I run rF2 in non windowed mode it completely ignores my custom Windows (7) colour management profile therefore my RGB colours, brightness & contrast levels are absolutely way off and almost undrivable particularly in HDR mode. In HDR mode it is magnified and is extremely over-brightened/contrast/saturated and the Red channel is through the roof as most default monitors & profiles general are. If I run in windowed mode I do not have such problem and everything looks sexy and matched up to my custom colour profile.

    Is this a bug?

    I believe full screen 3D is considered to be a separate mode not affected by desktop color profiles. There may be a way to run these profiles while in full screen using a utility like spyder2express, which can load a profile at app startup. There is nothing specific that we are doing to either use or dump your profiles.

    @ Joe - After reading a little more into this I believe Powerstrip might also be a way around this problem although it may not be for Nvidia users... Not sure as I am currently using ATI. Although this is a work around its just another unwanted process running in the background. Moving forward is there any logic than can be hard-coded into rF2 to pick up your current profile?

    Also running a lower refresh rates say 60hz with v-sync on 120hz monitor will also be ignored in windowed mode if your monitor is set to 120hz in windows. No way on my current GPU will I get 120FPS.
