Explanation

Hi! As someone who suffers with photosensitive epilepsy, it's become nearly impossible for me to progress in certain parts of Iron Vow, as well as other parts of the game. To give some examples, Rat King has multiple moves that cause your entire screen to flash repeatedly, all Blightsurger mantras start with a full-screen flash, ect. I don't imagine I need screenshots or recordings of these, as they're all fairly obvious.

I was gonna make a suggestion for this rather than a bug report with ideas on how to go about this, but unfortunately i have a life and i am not sending tens of thousands of messages just to plead to be able to play the game. Sorry if this isn't EXACTLY a "bug", but i have no other avenues to go about this, unfortunately.

Wsp, I get you and thats understandable Is it possible to get a list of attacks/effects that have this issue?

[ #3 ] 15 days ago by

bros getting cooked by flame blind 😭

[ #4 ] 15 days ago by

Flame blind works normally with photosensitive mode.

for shogun, some of the white swing effects may be triggering but i'm honestly unsure as it wasn't something i noticed right away (unlike rat king). for the rat king, however, his axe swings (the 4 hit that covers the whole map) flash the entire screen white repeatedly. this is also a problem (to a lesser degree) with the triple slashes he does, and just a lot of his effects in general. ive been avoiding the fight for the most part after my first couple attempts so i really couldn't give you a comprehensive list since i don't really know what he has. i have only watched other people fight zi'eer (for the reasons above), but as far as i can tell the only real issue is the outline/highlight flashing that happens while you're taking damage. there's also just a lot of issues with blightsurger, but i'm not sure how much can be done about a lot of it. other than that, i really can't think of anything else off the top of my head

Got it, thanks, if you get any more issues lmk. Will make a list now

[ #8 ] 15 days ago by

(i even made extra example suggestions and a mockup of one of them just to realize it was level locked to level 60+ like come on 😭)

[ #9 ] 15 days ago by

appreciate it ^^

[ #10 ] 15 days ago by

Just to confirm the boundary teleports are fully black instead of a blinding white light with the mode on, right?

[ #11 ] 15 days ago by

Similar to flame blind*?

[ #12 ] 15 days ago by

no, they're also white. its just a very slow fade in so it's not an issue for me personally

[ #13 ] 15 days ago by

will forward this

[ #15 ] 15 days ago by

Yugi’s got it

[ #16 ] 15 days ago by

god thats so real- i get migraines from rapid flashing lights and similar stuff, im just lucky i didnt get super far in vow of iron bc i was NOT aware of this

[ #17 ] 15 days ago by

Will look for more in a bit yugi2003_ list above if needed

[ #19 ] 15 days ago by

blightsurger too methinks

[ #20 ] 15 days ago by

Oh yes i forgot that

[ #21 ] 15 days ago by

thanks

[ #22 ] 15 days ago by

Any specific moves? Would assume warp kick

[ #23 ] 15 days ago by

Since that has flashing white iirc

[ #24 ] 15 days ago by

i think so, id have to look at the moveset again and its almost 2 am rn

[ #25 ] 15 days ago by

all of them have flashing white, the effects arent that bad unless you're the one using it. i know titus's floor slams are pretty bad though

[ #26 ] 15 days ago by

For sure

[ #27 ] 15 days ago by

i just went on theros disciple to check. i think its just a couple problem frames where it creates a big white square for a flash effect

[ #28 ] 15 days ago by

Added as well

[ #29 ] 15 days ago by

okay its worse than i remember like most of titus's moves are screen-wide with flashing my bad 😭

[ #30 ] 15 days ago by

ty again btw

[ #31 ] 15 days ago by

icl pretty sure the first time i fought titus i got a killer migraine the next day now that i think abt it

[ #32 ] 15 days ago by

SO much medication to soothe that s*** to the point i got physically sick

[ #33 ] 15 days ago by

👀 My eyes are on titus as well for any more moves
