HDR won't stay on - ASUS XG438Q

Hi all,

Hooked up a new monitor, being the ASUS XG438Q. I have HDR enabled in the Windows 10 display settings, and when I go back into SWTOR from being minimised, it stays on for a few seconds then reverts back to non-HDR. 

Can anyone perhaps tell me why?

Running the game on a GTX 1080.

New PC with RTX 2080 Super coming next week 😁

    Might be better to post in the nvidia forums, it will either be a driver or windows issue given the driver is reloading when you re-enter fullscreen mode.

    quick google it sounds like this thread

    Thanks @proxos666.

    I went to the link and tried their fix by customising the screen size but no luck. When I loaded into the game, it reset itself. 

    It's weird; in the main menu/character selection, no dramas. It stays on. It's when I load into the game that the screen goes black and resets to non-HDR. I alt-tab, HDR is back on. Go back into SWTOR, it stays for a few seconds then blacks out back to non-HDR. 

    🤔

    Apparently it's because SWTOR doesn't support HDR. 

    It'll only work in windowed mode; not fullscreen. 

    Poodoo!
