Plasma 6: How to use HDR with games? (lemmy.world)

As the title asks, how does one actually use HDR for games after upgrading to Plasma 6?

This was the feature I was most excited about, and I can hit the HDR button on my display configuration and it looks like the desktop is going into HDR mode, but so far I have had zero luck enabling the HDR feature in games. Every game I've tried had the HDR toggle disabled with no way to enable it.

I am running these games under Proton and I've tried both 8-GE and 9 Beta. Any tips?

Edit: probably important to note that I am using an AMD GPU under Wayland

Nice, this appears to allow me to enable HDR at least in Resident Evil 8.

Is there a distinct command if the game is native Vulkan versus using the Direct3d to Vulkan layer?

Edit: Lojcs is saying this only allows you to enable it but it isn't actually working, https://a.lemmy.world/lemmy.world/comment/8535260
