    I always post about the hardships color blindness affected killers endure. Given that the ability of the new killer won't let you actually see survivors, instead relying on following tracks or blood,

    Will you please now consider adding colorblind options to the game? This killer will be unplayable for us otherwise.

    I have already tried with predator and bloodhound. No tangible difference for me. And even if it DID make a difference, why should I waste 2 perk slots to overcome a difficulty that 99% of the games out there address correctly?

    Previously talking about this topic, the devs said they didn't have the resources to work on it, but the BBQ event showed us that they ACTUALLY can change hook colors, even mid-game switching them, so why don't they add colorblind mode to the whole game? Imagine playing this killer against Iron Will/Calm Spirit, not seeing survivors bc the ability prevents you from doing so, not being able to follow blood trails or scratch marks bc you are color blind and not hearing them bc they equipped those 2 perks. Impossible to play for me.

    I am agreeing, but are you trying to make me color blind aswell?
    Cant you use proper colors for your letters?^^

    those colors ARE PROBABLY SO HE CAN SEE THE WORDS IDIOT

    Thats why he uses 2 different colors.
    Try again troll

    im not a troll i just figured maybe he used colors so he could see ti or maybe he just wanted to how is that going to make you color blind?

    I don't really see how the colors he chose are a problem. They were easy enough for me to read.

    I have color blindness and I can read them. I think most people can, too.

    @Condorloco_26 Wouldn't a simple filter be enough to help colorblind players? If you have the option, try using NVidia's Geforce Experience to add color filters onto the game until the devs can address this. I know it depends heavily on what type of colorblindness you have, but you get what I mean.

  • TheHourMan
    TheHourMan Member Posts: 1,052

    Yes, Nvidia does indeed have a colorblind filter for DbD.

    That is with GeForce Experience.

    That's a good option for PC players. Has anyone tested it yet, does it work? Hopefully it makes a difference.

    I'm on PS4 though, and I wish we console users had similar options. Thanks for your comment,

    Yes, it does look a lot dofferent on-screen, but since I'm not colorblind I can't say how good it works

    YES! I just made an account here for this I been having troubles playing killer for a while and recently discovered that windows 10 has an option to turn colorblind mode on and now I can actually play killer and see scratch marks on the floor. I usually play as wraith and could only see blood when invisible. Please add an ingame filter for colorblind people.

    maybe they are ignoring this because making new content and getting money from it is more important then taking under a week to add a system like this in the settings. i understand people might abuse this to make the game brighter and colors like pink thats only on survivors pop out but if you were caught abusing this they could just permban and be done with it

    I don't think they're ignoring it at all, it's not something that'd be super simple to do either given that it's more than just tweaking things like you suggest. I really wish people would get off of the conspiracy bandwagon when these types of things come up.

    Pls yes, this is such a fundamental thing truly needed. This shouldn't take to much time to implement. I'm always surprised why DbD has such a lack of those important things

    I just wish they gave it the proper attention. About difficulty implementing it, we've all seen how easily they change hook aura colors (even during the game), and gen auras were a different color before the July patch.

    Well it is not just changing colors for auras and scratch marks its filtering the whole game. And its not like some way of exploit beacuse every player with windows 10 can do it. It will be a lot better for them to implement it ingame so we dont have to use this windows feature and new colorblind players can easily acces the filter. Changing singular colors will cause heavy exploit and that would be stupid
    EDIT: Console colorblind players are doom right now killer is imposible for me whitout filter.

    if they can change the color of a hook to blue for a event i dont think it will be that hard to change the colors in game for people who cant see certain colors like mysekf

    While true they want to do all the maps and everything in them same for items/addons etc. If you think about it hooks and their stands are stationary and can be done in 1 swoop.

    ok yes but it only requires a color filter which changes the color many other games have this and it came out with release its not hard to add this it might take a week and if it takes longer than im sorry but it doesnt seem that it would take much effort

    While it may only take a week they're not going to introduce that right now right before patch release. since it's going through certification for consoles. That'd add way more complication to the patch cycle and so it'll probably come out as part of a micro patch.

    Well perhaps in the next dev stream they'll talk about it and on page 1 @Peanits said he'd bring it up with them when he talked to them. He's not on the dev team but he does pass along things.

    but that isnt even apart of the game itself most big and great games support colorblindness in the setting with a simple change and what about console players? they can download this so called app so are they supose to buy a pc just to play this game after downloading something seperate from the base game itself?

    I agree with you that the game does need to have internal colorblind filters. I am simply saying that this is a solution for pc players and that the devs actually had to make DbD compatible with NVidia Geforce Experience's filter mode. Many games are incompatible with this, including big games. "Most" big games supporting this is an exaggeration. Most SHOULD support colorblind modes, but a lot don't. Just keep asking about it on Youtube Q&A's and they will eventually add it.
