Please remove all the flashes

[KaijuDad]

Hi,

Please forgive me if this has been addressed before. What I would like to do here is get a thread going with replies that grows enough that it will be noticed.

I love NMS, have since launch, and I remember when there were white flashes whenever we would get in or out of the ships, that were removed.

Now I am asking that all white flashes be removed from the game and if you feel the same way please respond to this thread so hopefully they will see it.

There is a migraine inducing white flash every time I repair something on a broken ship, or install new technology. Another one when initiating warping or coming out of it.

This gorgeous space game is best played in the dark, imo, and these flashes just hurt.

Thank you everyone I hope you are all enjoying getting lost in space while stuck at home.

Good Journey
Prime-G1

gCam removes some transition flashes, but has many other changes with it. I might make a no-flash only version for it.

While a few flashy-screens remain, the mod does indeed remove several of the worst. Thanks much for pointing this out.

I appreciate the option now to remove the white transitions, I am still hoping we can have options or removal of the flashes when engaging the engines and repairing technology please

Yup - I submitted a ticket for the white flashes entering and exiting pulse drive along with when you activate the scanner.

Dang it ... forgot about the Knowledge stones..

Would be great if they could look at spinning too, especially coming in and out of the freighter refiners, I cant use them much because it makes me feel sick after a while, must be worse in VR.

The screenshot above doesn't seem to show it, disabling the flashes is an option now.

[KaijuDad]

The trouble is the new setting does not remove the flashes from the pulse drive, or the installation/repair of technology.

I understand the artistic and technical need to have a visual transition, but a dip to black serves the same purpose in most cases, unless you are attempting to convey shock or mental distress such as the effects of a flash bang, or being struck.

Regarding the artistic choice to have flash to white as part of the game, I can also understand the idea that engaging the pulse engine may indeed cause a flash to white, however if that were the case and a blinding migraine inducing white light flashed when that happened, I would find a way to program my cockpit and visor to filter it out, or always drop my light shield on my helmet before initiating the engine, right now I close my eyes for this.

Please replace all the flash to white sequences in the game with a dip to black, or give us the option to do so, because I have enjoyed playing this game since it launched and would really like to stop taking ibuprofen every time I want to play.

Make it OPTIONAL. I don't like the idea of something just being totally removed whatever the other person's reasons. I have no issue with it.

[XTS (Away)]

I'm on board with optional ♥ I can't do the flashes, myself. Makes me so sick and headache, eye ache, etc. Depending on length and intensity. X Fingers for Options

[Castor Troy]

Agreed. This should be an option. The zoom to scan flash blinds me at night all the time. It hurts.

[Dentatus]

We absolutely need this as an option, yes. Options are good. Mandatory conditions and "our way or go away" lose customers.

[KaijuDad]

Yes please make it a option!

[marsonfur]

+1 for making it an option; it really hurt my eyes a lot so I close my eyes to avoid it as well, which is absolutely annoying; I just don't want to quit an incredible space game due to this stupid reason

[Adrian]

They removed the HUGE flashbang when you save at a Waypoint thank God!! That was horrible. And yes I f\vote FOR removing every white flash.

[mbrowne999]

Are the white flashes more annoying than all the gunshots when ships appear in space and now even added to atmosphere appearances? I think not!

[Tatwi]

I completely agree!

The biggest offender of "flash to white" is when pressing F to open the scanner (something we often need to do multiple times per minute), yet it is not included in the option to remove transitions to white. Having previously modded it out, disabling it is truly as simple as changing a value in a text file. It would be nice if they would do it.

I'm also not keen on things like dihydrogen crystals blowing up in my face when I harvest them with the laser.

The game used to be a lot more "Zen". It's as though they hired an FPS-kiddy or Micheal Bay and let them go to town.
