Can The Haddonfield Flickering Lights Be Changed?

in Feedback and Suggestions

Hi, this is my first post to the forums so forgive me, but ever since playing on the reworked Haddonfield in the last PTB, it's difficult to go into some of the houses and do the generators because of the fast-flickering lightbulbs (such as in the 'house of pain' basement). Is anyone else having this issue? I have to practically close my eyes and only open them when a skill check comes because of how bothersome they are. Not exactly sure how to reach BHVR but I thought maybe this was affecting other people with certain sensitivity to imagery(?) and wanted to give it a shot to post the suggestion here.

    I’m not sure how you’re looking to change them, but they serve as an indicator to survivors that the generator in that house is not fully repaired. So they’ll probably never fully remove them anyway. Just wanted to mention that they have a purpose, since you didn’t bring it up.

    You completely ignored the reason for the request: that of physical issues being caused by flickering lights. You know, things like headaches and epilepsy? There ARE ways to solve this. Severely dimmed lights. red 'emergency' lights. steady, slow, repetitive flashing of an emergency light. Anything other than faster flickering.

    Well, they haven't changed Flashlight macro clicking for the light-sensitive, so why would they fix this one either?

    A simple addition to the game client settings would solve so many problems...


    From putting A.A, Vsync and mode for people with epilepsy without necessarily having to change all the mechanics of the game or editing gamefiles (flashlight blind effect, doctor power, flickering lights inside the houses, etc).


    2022 and we don't have basic settings anyway

    I do not have epilepsy or anything similar and I HATE fast flickering lights, the flickering could be slowed down extremely and the max brightness should stay low until the gen is powered.

    I know in Autohaven Wreckers, there are small lights inside T/L wall loops when a gen is in them and they flicker so fast for no reason, no one wants to look at that!

    At Lery's, the signs flicker on and off at a much slower pace to indicate the gen thats within the room its posted on. Not a super bright white light, but a slightly dim red, yellow, or blue light.
