Aberration unfriendly for Colourblind
Started to play Aberration thinking it was going to be fun but not long after find out that 90% of the Neon Lights were giving me a headache due to the colours and how bright they where due to the fact of been colourblind and then find out there is NO COLOURBLIND mode in the settings . i feel like Wildcard really should make a colourblind setting .

Does not bother me one bit. Colorblind mode- are you freaking serious. Maybe they should profide a mousepad for your sore wrist, a pillow for your sore back maybe?

I get pretty hungry on those long tames, DEV get me some cheetos!

I'm colorblind realy bad. And I have no issues with Ark in anyway of lights or whatever. Turn off bloom and light settings. You can also set gamma to make things not so bright. But a color blind mode? Not sure why you would need it other than nametag colors!

What has the fact that you are colorblind to do with the headache?!? I don't get it.....

Color blindness in no way correlated with headaches. If this was epilepsy, this would be different, but the worst color blindness could do to you is make you mistake the color of one of the red or green gems or something and collect the wrong ones.

Is there a setting on your main display for colouriblind mode?

I know, it seems like an oversight on their part, so many games these days have a colourblind mode to reduce strain on the eyes and make it easier to see things.

Since there are multiple types, which type of color blindness do you suffer from?

Have you asked your doctor what options you have that can help alleviate the symptoms that cause the headaches?

Does your monitor have a generic color-blind setting, or can your doctor recommend what settings to adjust it to so it matches your specific type of color blindness?

While I feel for you, most gaming companies probably can't design their games around the different types of colorblindness that exist, so I would start discussions with your doctor first. Maybe for your type, there a screen filters available to help reduce the neon glare even further.

I'm colorblind and i'v never heard of colors causing headaches or anything like that. The only problem i'v ever had with being colorblind and ark is the loot beacons and not knowing which one is what. I believe there is a mod for that though. You may be getting headaches for other reasons though that you should look into. Maybe take breaks from it and like someone said earlier, turn bloom and or light shafts off or turn the gamma down maybe.

I hate headaches, when I was 16 I had literal brain surgery because of abscess on my brain. They left behind scars which makes me have much more intense headaches then normal so I really feel for you and understand what a pain it is to try and play with them.
