It's not a non-issue. Auto-HDR and RTX HDR don't exactly know when (or when not) to make things bright. In some games you can end up with retina searing menu screens etc. On a 1000nit monitor at night I find Auto-HDR and RTX HDR too damn bright.

@Andrew Lauritzen any suggestions for config line tweaks we can do to disable the sharpness?

Even with the fix, the sharpening is still too aggressive. Way better than the default level though.I don't have the game, but you can disable the forced sharpness with this github tool

Black Myth: Wukong continues to attract record-breaking numbers of players, establishing itself as the most-viewed game…

Biggest concurrent Steam userbase of any single player game. Second biggest concurrent users of all time second only to PUBG which is a mulitplayer BR and pioneering genre when it had those numbers.
It'll be interesting to learn, if we ever do, what total sales and revenue is like. With numbers like these, a lot of Western attention must have been pulled to China, but of course it's a difficult market to tap. Will game design be shifted from the ground up to be China-safe to have a chance at that market?

RTX HDR works very well on Black Myth.
Curious but don't games need to be mastered in HDR for HDR to make sense? Don't visual artists actually need to do work to make sure all the colors and tones display the way they're intended? If you just auto-activate HDR, does it really do its job?
Btw the actual users playing the game on PC may be far larger. I believe local Chinese are actually using another platform called WeGame, NOT steam. So when articles are referring to the majority of players being from China they are probably not talking about Steam. They are talking about an additional crowd
I believe the idea is that the Nvidia solution does a better job than the Windows AutoHDR solution, for games that don't implement an HDR mode at all, or a poor implementation. The ansewer is yes, the visual artists need to do the actual work, but in the many cases they don't, others step up to provide some limited support for those that want to try them out.
For example, Starfield has a very poor HDR implementation, but there's some HDR mods out there that do a fantastic job of extending the gamut in a way that's specific to the game.
On the first day when it hit massive numbers, many noticed that the concurrent count dropped to around 10% of the total when China's timezone went to bed.

RTX HDR works through an adaptive AI algorithm trained on a huge HDR data set, people found that it works almost perfectly for all games old and new, it even works better than many native HDR implementations.
They need to train it so it detects text and GUI/menu elements and displays them at a reasonable brightness level. Dunno how hard that would be. I found the menus and text in Persona 5 Royal to be unbearably bright with RTX HDR and auto HDR. Need sunglasses when accessing inventory.

This is the first time I have seen exploding vertices in a console game. What are they even doing to cause that?

The developer announced 10 million copies sold.
Love to see games succeed were developers have full freedom to express their creativity and culture without having to meet nonsensical "inclusivity" standards

Were they free to express their opinions on China's game industry, policies, opinions or news? We can't let the fetishization of the perception of "freedom", in isolation, quarantine our big picture view of this game. A game which includes blood and violence in it's gameplay, may or may not be making a political statement by excluding any overt reference to feminist propaganda. In fact, some of the developers actions instigate negative discourse and insults both players and influencers.
