I can't use HDR at all, because playing Battlefront II will force me to restart my PC if I do so!!

This may be more of a monitor issue, rather than SWBF2.

I also have an HDR-capable monitor. However, to call it an HDR monitor is a bit of a stretch, as it does not have the brightness required to really play HDR content. If you haven't already, you might want to research your monitor's brightness against HDR spec.

When I turn HDR on in Windows and in the game (via options menu), it's too dark. If I keep HDR off in Windows, but turn it on in the game, it looks pretty good.
