Epilepsy

[GRonus]

Hello, my friend has epilepsy. can he play Payday 2?

[agent0125]

I suspect probably not. Unless there is a way to disable all those flashes from swat guns, lights etc.

[СефСвіт]

I wouldn't if he's photoepileptic, but otherwise, I haven't had any problems.

No. You could be playing, then boom, hit by a very bright flashbang.

Although I'm not a doctor, maybe a sudden bright light wouldn't cause them to go into a seizure.

I think the common saying is "ask your doctor".

I don't really know much on the subject but what if he wears some kind of light blocking glasses ?

[Gunsmith Noob]

Every video game ever can cause a PHOTOepilepsy attack

The only time a light flashes is with a flashbang, and as far as I know, that light does not flash rapidly so it shouldn't trigger a seizure. But if it's Photosensitive Epilepsy then no. (Disclamer: Not a doctor)

no he wont i have epilepsy so he should be absolutely fine strobe lights will trigger a fit and as there is no strobe lights flash bangs wont trigger it off you could have 1000 flashbangs wont set it off hope this helps

There's a mod that changes flashbangs' flash from white to black afaik.

It's usually sudden colour changes in general that trigger Epileptic Seizures isn't it?

I think it's just multiple rapid changes, but it probably depends on how severe the person's epilepsy is.

Most of the heist isn't that bad, but the control room is.

Unless someone uses a hack to spam the flashbang as I once experienced. I'm not epileptic, but it was enough to make me annoyed and sick.

He still can use different color filters.

The kind light bothers is photosensitive. Photosensitives are epileptic, but not all epileptics are photosenstive. Only about 3-5% are.
