I suffer from migraines and so I tested someone's theory of limiting the FPS to 60, it's a tweak in the upgrade and flashing which has made possibly one of my favourite moments one I'll have to be insanely careful with and want over ASAP. Please fix this so it's the same impact as the original at least, there's no reason to tweak Vigil graphically to affect people- it doesn't make the moment more impactful to have bright pulsating lights going off. As other people have said, they can get seizures- I can get migraines and it's one thing to have a scene you can't alter but this was a scene amplified into becoming a prominent health issue.
This is not a framerate issue and I have tested it- it's the frequency and pulsing of the lights and when it seems to affect and be uncomfortable for people who suffer neither migraines nor seizures, it's something that needs to be fixed. You have an intense narrative moment currently being ruined because even for regular people, Vigil is unpleasant to watch.
Side note to players who think people with health risks shouldn't play games:
There is nothing stylistic about adding a graphical enhancement that causes this kind of effect and even were it to only affect people who got migraines and seizures, it's wrong to make a game less accessible than its original release and a major step backwards. I assume this was an accident and hopefully it can be addressed quickly.
