Am I the only one that has come across this extremely brutal to the eyes issue?

Something in this cosmetic set I am using makes the entire screen flash when the Doctor is on screen at any point and OMG it is HORRIBLE in game. I can only imagine what would happen if someone prone to seizures had this same setup.... Pointing it out as soon as I noticed it...


My cosmetics are as follows:

Head - "AUTO-LOBOTOMIZER"

Body - "FLESH UNION"

Weapon - "VOLTAIC RAY"

I am pretty sure the weapon is the culprit due to the amount of flashing when you simply swing and hit a Survivor or any part of the environment also. Here is to hoping this gets fixed not months from now as some person out there could run into serious trouble being unaware that this can occur with these cosmetics. Screen flashes on the main menu when you have The Doctor selected and in Killer lobby viewing front on or over the shoulder view and AN IMMENSE amount of times during a game in the 1st person camera perspective.

Let me know if any of you are able to replicate this.


Oh, btw why is there still no FOV slider in this game for people with motion sickness?

    The problem has been noticed by a good amount of people so I hope it gets taken care of. Oh and your welcome as in replying to the "Thank you" from the moderator in the first thread.

    Here we are. Originally I thought it may be due to a division light filter: (1 Divide filter, 200 Opacity)

    but upon further testing with filters, it looks like a large number of Additive lighting ones might more likely be the culprit: (32 Additive filters, 255 opacity each)

    If any aspects of the doctors effects use additive lighting, it could very well be firing off 32 (or more) instances at the same time. I'm not familiar with how those effects work in relation to hud elements, but hopefully that can help isolate it.

    I don't have the cosmetics to test myself, unfortunately.

    Edit: Here's 48 passes, looking like the amount of instances might be somewhere around there: (48 Additive filters, 255 opacity each)

    This happens a lot when using The Transplant outfit parts. I stopped using those cosmetics only because of this. The issue persists since the skin was added in last Halloweeen.

    Good to know. It was for sure a surprise to me. I was just trying to make him appear as "shocking" as I possibly could and I guess I got what I wanted..lol. I'm sure it'll get fixed in the not too far future due to its severity.

    This is something we're unable to reproduce ourselves...can you please supply a video showing this happening as well as your DXDiag, game logs so that we can see exactly what's happening. Thank you.
