Is the color blind mode correct?

[R!C0]

As someone who has red-green colour blindness, firing up the game I turned on the deuteranopia mode. Then immediately struggled differentiating the colours of the lasers. I thought I maybe had selected incorrectly at startup, so went back into the settings to check. Turning off the colour blind mode immediately made it clearer.

Maybe the mode has been incorrectly implemented, so that the colour change applied would be that as if you were seeing as if you had the colour blindness, thus making it worse. I know this has happened in other games. Don't know for certain, but the deuteranopia definitely didn't make it clearer for me.

Dunno about this game but some games that have "color blind" mode simulate them instead of helping users with actulal colorblindness.

Yes, thats exactly what I think might have happened here.

Update: after I closed the game and restarted, I turned on the colourblind settings again (to show someone else the issue) and the colours were significantly different and the issue seem to have been resolved. So maybe a first time run issue.

This was in fact the 1st game I ever played where the colourblind mode worked.

I'm red green colourblind, but for whatever reason 'Tritanopia' option at 100% worked for me. I recommend to ignore the charts in the settings & test in a real level, this fully allowed me to distinguish between the red, green & blue (The blue wasn't a problem anyway).

Just try all the modes in turn, including 'off' & find what works best for you.

And Lol at the video title, 1st time I've been called disabled for being colourblind.

There are some issues with how the colourblind mode works, I ended up turning it off completely because the constant 'flick' between it being off and on was annoying me

Flick? What flick? More details, please.

I also explored all of the color blind modes, and for me none of them seemed to make any difference, even though I know for sure that I am colorblind (I just don't know what specific colorblindness I am). Maybe I'm not playing around with it enough?

You can find online Ishihara color tests to determine it.

The colorblind mode in Talos 2 is ambitious on its surface, but is ultimately terrible. I thought about making a thread of my own. I am red-green, deuteranopia. I spent a good half hour trying to tweak the color blind options to get solid differentitation between the colors.

Sadly the one that works best for me is just the regular colors. I just had to learn to deal with it. Thankfully only a small percentage of the puzzles have the RGB lasers.

I really hope they fix this.
