Hey guys i have done exactly what the tutorials from the Valve Developer Community site have showed in order to run my map in full HDR and it still for some reason will not run it in HDR. I have looked everywhere and tried many things in order to fix this but for some reason it will not run in HDR. Another thing to note is whenever i am in my map and in the console i enter mat_hdr_enabled 1 or mat_hdr_enabled 0 each time it says hdr is disabled. Another thing i have also built cubemaps and everything but it still does not seem to help.

Ok thanks and here is the error i recieved. And last time i got this error it was a player clip error in one of my mesh fences but i fixed that. And after that the log checker was fine and when i ran the map with the log being 100% good i still had the same problem with the hdr. zero area child patch Description: A solid in your level has a face with no area. My guess is that vrad.exe is trying to create a lightmap for a face that doesn't exist. Maybe you have an invalid brush? Solution: First check Hammers problemchecker (alt+p). If that doesn't solve your problems, you can either ignore the error, or try to find it anyway using cordon tools. You would be looking for brushes which might be too complex. I wouldn't recommend the second option.
Ok thanks alot once again and that did work. But in my console it shows this A custom HDR cubemap "materials/models/player/shared/eye-reflection-cubemap-.hdr.vtf": cannot be found on disk. This really should have a HDR version, trying a fall back to a non-HDR version. and after i buildcubemaps in the console i get this *** Error: Skybox vtf files for sky_hydro_01 weren't compiled with the same size texture and/or same flags! Can't load skybox file sky_hydro_01 to build the default cubemap! So i guess im running in HDR with a few errors im not sure
