DisplayCAL profile loader vs games

[Mark Appleton]

(If this has already been covered elsewhere, please direct me.)

Will DispCAL’s profile loader re-load/preserve my selected icc profile/LUT onto games?  I don’t want to rely on Windows because I know it to be less accurate.

If the answer is “no”, is there some other utility I can use to force games/3D applications to use my selected profile?

Many thanks.

Depends on the game. You can install one of the test profiles (in the folder “tests” in the DisplayCAL directory) which will introduce a strong color cast when calibration is active. If you see this color cast in-game as well, then calibration is active in the game. A even more powerful approach is to create a 3D LUT for ReShade (see Wiki) for full color correction.
