There should be a way to tone down some VFX

I don’t usually get to play with staff Psyker but some of their VFX really disorient me quite a lot when I’m fighting in melee.

Take voidstrike as an example, when I’m fighting again a horde and there’s voidstrike user spamming behind me the screen just keep flashing white every second to the point I couldn’t focus on whatever I’m fighting or which direction I’m facing.

It’s even worse if they’re using macro that make them able to spam smaller more frequent projectile. It’s almost a epilepsy hazard.

If someone know a mod that could solve issue that would be nice too.

Then you do a search, or just browse most popular, and you will find this

There’s even a Chinese version apparently.

Only two effects I particularly hate are the close to death grey-scale, and the Damage-Stim red mist, both of which just make it harder to do what you’re actually trying to do by limiting vision.

I already have Disable Screen Effect, the one I’m specifically talking about is mostly stuff from Psyker like Voidstrike’s flashing, Purgatus’s flame or Bubbleshield.

Something I’ve been working on and off, I may add fancier stuff in the future if I can, but for now it does the job with simple subs and reduces my own HDR+OLED eye strain. The light cyan is a particular eyesore.

Sneak-peak/Early-Access, restart game when changing some settings like trails and explosions.

Note: Set the explosions to Skip after seeing if GG explo doesn’t cut it, no need to restart for that one iirc; sleepy.
P.S. For flames there’s a Custom Flames mod already for purgatus/flamer vfx.

I highly recommend also disabling the BLOOM effect in graphics settings, as the glow produced by lights, fire, explosions etc. are totally overwhelming and obscures vision to an extreme.

It makes a colossal difference on visibility to disable it.

Good reminder, I disabled mine ages ago and haven’t turned it on since.
And OFC the other horsemen of the apocalypse:
