Flashlight clicking is a risk to Photosensitive Epileptic players

There are plenty more explanations and at least one of them is the applicable one here. I don't even really know what a macro is. I mean, I know what it does based on the context I see it in, but other than that no.

I think autonomy in a video game is important and if you start changing things to accommodate for every condition what kind of game do you have left. People with disabilities should determine for themselves what is safe and have all the means to do so.

The ability to correct a mistimed flashlight save with a short click would be impacted, making flashlight saves even harder than they already are. Don't get me wrong, the person you responded to is repulsive, but let's not act like a flashlight click delay is even a remotely good idea from a gameplay perspective, in a game where responsive controls are a must. The only solution I can think of that would actually protect epileptic players without disrupting gameplay is a setting that makes flashlight beams anywhere from 0%-75% more transparent, on a slider. And that would be a client-sided setting that hackers wouldn't be quite so able to find a way around, unlike a delay on when you can reclick your flashlight.

You really saying that you need a flashlight speed of 1/50 th of second? You know that everything under 1/30 th of second is invisible to human eye?

Please guys... stop BS

Dude. 10th comment on the first page.

People also have the right to ask for accessibility options/settings and video game devs have the right to implement those if they want to.

Mandy has commented on this very thread though..

They have been slow to address these things overall. But in this case, holiday season was in-between and they probably don’t have any further info they can give out atm.

first you say you just want them to acknowledge the issue and when pointed out they actually did then it’s not enough for you?

also the flashlight clicking isn’t the only thing that might be triggering/causing seizures for people with epilepsy. It is something that affected people should be aware of in video games and they should inform themselves if they are at risk.

Again, I agree it is an issue that should be relatively easily be fixed.

but Mandy did say they are aware of it, and it has been brought up many times.

there might be reasons why they are not saying more now. if they announced they are working on it, people would just expect it in the very next PTB/update and will be mad at the devs if it’s not there. Just see what happens with the Ghostface/Legion changes…

BHRV at least ban the obnoxious people who use macros to click 50 times a second.

I'd make it 8 seconds, but split it between multiple survivors. Since 2 killer seconds = 8 survivor seconds.

its not necessarily a macro, you can do it by binding the flashlight to the mousewheel, and if your mouse has a hyperscroller, a mechanical switch that allows the mouse wheel to continue spinning with it's intertia after you spin it, you can just spin the mouse wheel very fast and it will click the light.

Make it an accessibility option. If on, you will only see flashlight clicks every .5 or whatever the predetermined time is. This would purely be visual, and still allow survivors to click. Either to fix the timing on an early flashlight save or to BM, which is fine. This option could also affect the flashlight blinded screen for killer; as well as many others such as Doctors shock, Dredges nightfall, Plagues infection, Tricksters laceration affect, and others.
