    Correct me if I'm wrong but does true color not work when running a game in fullscreen? If so, what's the point in it having modes like "Gamer" and a help menu that describes it as "being able to assign specific color settings to any installed application" if it won't work in this scenario? To me, it looks like running a game in fullscreen resets all color settings to stock "none msi true color" settings. Windowed/borderless windowed mode is the only way I can get the color profile to stick.

    Nope. I believe it's a windows limitation where exclusive fullscreen discards your monitor color settings. Only solution is to use (or force) borderless fullscreen or run stuff in windowed mode

    Nope. I believe it's a windows limitation where exclusive fullscreen discards any color settings/profile you have applied for your monitor. Only way around it is to run stuff in borderless windowed fullscreen (or windowed mode) to get your color settings to stick.
