Howdy, Cmdrs,
I'm having a frustrating problem after a small Windows update (which follows a larger update earlier in the week) last night. After starting up my computer this morning and logging into ED on my Rift, I found what looks like a drop in color depth, which is most apparent in the opening loading screen and in the in-game menu, but also seems to make the colors washed out in game. After searching the web, it looks like there's a well-known issue with Nvidia, but I'm using an AMD card (RX-480). I've tried reinstalling the video drivers, plugging and unplugging the HDMI cable, using a different HDMI port, messing with display properties, rebooting.... everything I can think of. Nothing is working. Interestingly, when I first get into the game and the cockpit first appears, for the briefest split-second everything appears normal. The view out the windshield shows a clear variation between the cloudy milky way and the blackness of deep space, but then something gets applied and then space goes to a more or less uniform grey. The color is there, in the cockpit as well, but the blacks are all gray and things look washed out. Gamma adjustments are irrelevant. When I bring up the in-game menu, the fields behind the text and the edges of the menu field are no longer graduated, but have harsh borders, as if the color depth has dropped to some low level. The game looks fine in pancake mode.
Has anyone experienced this?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, all!

EDIT: This is happening across multiple VR games, not just ED.
