Why did they disable HDR when streaming to the OLED Steamdeck

Because it was causing issues in SDR games apparently. So rather than fix it they turned it off.

I just reverted from beta to get away from that change. I also felt that remote play performance in general was much worse on the beta branch. I was getting constant green flashes and dropped frames. My latencies were also double what I was getting after reverting back to stable. If you’re a remote play user you may want to avoid this update and wait for the next.

It didn't properly work with HDR games for me, no pure blacks, and colors kinda washed out. Had to switch back to moonlight again...

Did you use steam remote play or sunshine > moonlight?

I use both, but I was specifically speaking of remote play in that reply.

I prefer remote play because my controller configs are all set and I don’t have to swap them around if I change games. It’s been running nearly perfectly up until the last few updates on the beta branch.

I assume they are talking about Steam Remote Play
