Spirit Phase Walk Changes

What the heck happened? Spirits phase walk with the new graphics engine is beyond terrible. Everytime you use her phase walk now it looks like you're getting blinded in the face with a flashlight...so much harder to see anything. Fix asap.

Edit: It seems this issue may be correlated with the Xbox and PS4 visual issues. Her normal vision looks like the XBOX screen (on the left) and her spirit phasing vision looks exactly like the monitor on the right (super white and blurry). Link below to see both screens.

    Right? I cannot imagine how this change made it to live, it's not even slight, it's really bad.

    Indeed, same for survivors with deep would. Idk maybe they didn't adjust the lightning when they update the engine in every aspect

    Wait, they made it so it has the same effect as the flashlight blind? That’s terrible! I loved playing the Spirit! I’ll have to try her out again and see what I think with the changes, but I can’t believe they added a blinding effect to her phase walk, that makes zero sense.

    I almost played her earlier today and decided I'd play her another day....if this is true...this entire patch took one step forward thrn tumbled several back :/.  This game is mostly visually orientated (a good bit of sound too) and Spirit already gets a con to the use of her Ability and she was in a great spot.  I was enjoying practicing and improving with her....being blinded like that is just bs and I hope it isn't intentionally done

    I just played her and see virtually no difference except that it was a LITTLE brighter. It might be your graphics settings

    Honestly, the change made no difference to me. I notice the glare filter, but it doesnt change anything. If anything, it makes easier to see scratch marks while phasing because the black outline they have is more noticeable with it (though it could just be the entire engine change).

    But, either way, I dont care.

    I main spirit so it was HIGHLY noticeable and very bad. It has made her spirit walk vision much, much worse.

    Not unplayable, just nerfed vision in spirit form. Also just quite annoying.

    I don't understand why people overlook this. It is a very important problem and the effect doesn't just make it difficult but also not really good looking or anything. It must be exactly the same before.

    Exactly. I main spirit to get around all this games terrible killer balance at rank 1 and now they're messing with my main girl. It needs to be the exact same as her normal vision like it was before. It's much harder to see now.

    @not_Queen can you make sure they know about this blinded spirit vision in her phasing?

    I waited to post here until after I played some Spirit games. Dude it's awful. The frames drop so hard coming out of phase walk. I would mash RT coming out of phase walk and it would take like a second to register the swing, by then they already juked it. The sound being messed up also really hurts. I feel like I won't be able to play Spirit until they fix this stuff, it's bad. On Xbox One X.

    Seriously yeah, it's bad. Like you said, between this broken phase walk vision and the broken survivor sounds right now my spirit feels almost unplayable or at least she is severely handicapped. It's bad enough that I can't bring myself to play her until this gets fixed, I really hope this wasn't intended.

    Well during phase walk everything seems fine. It's the post-phase-walk-state where things mess up bad for me. I doubt it was intended, it's pretty game breaking.

    You didn't notice how blinding it was during the phase? It's much, much harder to see now, everything is hella white.

    No things looked like they normally do as far as I could tell. Maybe that's something with your graphics card? I'm on Xbox so I don't get those sorts of issues.

    I've been getting this pop up so maybe it's something. I don't see how I'm getting an issue for being updated ahead of where it requires though, seems odd.

    IDK if you saw this thread > https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/35340/xbone-ps4-brightness-differences > but it seems that there are brightness issues on PS4. The game is super dark on Xbox. Maybe this is what's happening to you on PC?

    This actually looks exactly like what I'm experiencing! Except the left monitor is spirit in normal vision and the right is when she phases. Much harder to see with all that white on phasing. Thank you for the link, will be updating this page with the new info as it may be correlated.

    I'm not really sure if the new phase walk vision is harmful. I think I need to play some more games with her to decide. I'm on PS4 BTW.
