@l909 adding to this tracker.
UI images and imagesets render with a bright white tint across the game, including the loading screen. DayZ exposes dimming via SetColor (RGB multiply, white = full bright) and opacity via SetAlpha, but imagesets still look washed out and alpha does not apply as expected.

pls fix this. Have the same issue

I see on the Experimental Update 1.30 (Change log) Forum its a Known issue.

Same issue on 8 different servers, using image sets as well as raw .edds format.

its known, but not fixed
Game simply doubles gamma encoding

l909 any news on this one? This is pretty big problem.

ImageWidget::LoadImageFile creates UI textures without the sRGB flag 0x10000.
The UI, however, is drawn into an sRGB swap chain whose widget shaders expect sRGB textures.

clunky workaround is to wrap everything in .imageset, so i figured out how it works
Imagesets pass the sRGB flag; nothing else differs. Both paths use the same texture loader, the same texture creation, the same file and the same shader.

To fix this issue, simply
Pass the sRGB flag from ImageWidget::LoadImageFile: (noCache << 9) | 0x18080 instead of (noCache << 9) | 0x8080, the value LoadImageSet already uses.

Your suggestion to fix the loading screen works Thank you

SteamMod : Server_LoadingScreen

	static void BuildPaths()
	{
		if (s_Paths)
			return;

		LoadWidgetImageSet("Server_LoadingScreen/gui/imagesets/loading1.imageset");
		LoadWidgetImageSet("Server_LoadingScreen/gui/imagesets/loading2.imageset");
		LoadWidgetImageSet("Server_LoadingScreen/gui/imagesets/loading3.imageset");
		LoadWidgetImageSet("Server_LoadingScreen/gui/imagesets/loading4.imageset");
		LoadWidgetImageSet("Server_LoadingScreen/gui/imagesets/loading5.imageset");
		s_Paths = new TStringArray;

		s_Paths.Insert("set:loading1 image:Loading1");
		s_Paths.Insert("set:loading2 image:Loading2");
		s_Paths.Insert("set:loading3 image:Loading3");
		s_Paths.Insert("set:loading4 image:Loading4");
		s_Paths.Insert("set:loading5 image:Loading5");
	}

also you can change edds dxgiFormat from 98 BC7_UNORM -> 99 BC7_UNORM_SRGB

i dont know how to change the Image Data Format my current format is from normal import: TEXFMT_A8R8G8B8_SRGB (DXGI_FORMAT_B8G8R8A8_UNORM_SRGB) 😁

its made by binary changes, not workbench

+ pls, fix it

l909 we need an update on this, pls.
Are devs able to fix one missing binary flag? (https://report.bistudio.com/issues/DZG-502?commentId=6ab6e2df41140b7f57a3be7f here my research)

Fix please

+, fix please
