Cannot get game to display 21:9 Ratio resolutions

I really want to play this game again but this problem is preventing me from playing.......

I see topics and problems all over the forums with people with the same issue but after a week of trying different fixes I am still unable to get it to work.

I have an LG Ultra Widescreen Monitor 2560x1080 21:9 ratio. The game will not switch to this resolution. I understand that this game is unique where it reads the EDID information from my screen and uses that information to render the 3D graphics. I think this is my problem.

The UI seems to be OK but the game itself is stretched from 16:9 to the edges of my screen so everything looks stretched horizontally. Its unplayable.

Things I have tried so far.

Modifying client_settings.ini in my appdata folder to match my Monitor's Native resolution. Multiple times. Rebooted. Still stretched.

Editing my EDID using the CRU application. I have removed all resolutions but my Monitors Native resolution. Restarted my GPU driver, rebooted my machine multiple times. Still stretched.

Adding custom resolutions in my AMD Adrenaline Software. Still Stretched

Removed all AMD Adrenaline visual improvements. Still stretched.

I can only use HDMI on my monitor so no option to switch to DP or DVI.

Tried forcing my monitor into 1920x1080 with black bars down the sides in Windows. Launch SWTOR and it changes my resolution back to stretched.

Tried editing my registry for EDID values. Still stretched.

Tried reverting my GPU drivers. Still Stretched.

I find it hard to believe that nobody that plays this game has the same hardware configuration as me. This issue happens in NO OTHER GAMES.

My Hardware:

Ryzen 7 2700K 8 Cores

AMD Vega64 GPU

16GB DDR4 RAM

Samsung NVMe SSD

Windows 10 1909 Build

LG HDR WFHD 2560x1080 75hz Monitor - HDMI Only
