Colourblind Options need to be reworked

hey dude, try to calibrate the colors from your GPU options. There are such settings on every Nvidia chipset. Good luck!

Hey @felker_s,

I'm sorry to hear about that, there is nothing worse than not being able to play a game you love. We've made progress on this front on some of our games but I agree with you that it's not where it should be for everyone. One of our heroes @Freggi-Liz did some amazing work on this actually and even put together an entire article on this: 

http://www.alien-bommel.com/wordpress/2017/05/25/colorblindness-mode-for-battlefield-1/

Although it's for Battlefield 1 it should be just as useful for you. It's a quick guide on how to optimize your color settings for Nvidia.

Let us know how you get on and if this helps and once again I'd like to apologize for the inconvenience caused by this. 

Thanks,

Roger. 

Sorry for not specifying, I'm an XOne player, so these don't really help me. But thank you for the responses anyway! They might help those who have the same problems on the PC version.

Things are not that bad on the default mode, but on many occasions it is really hard for me to see the red colour on the minimap radar. This is mostly on maps that have bright spots on the ground (Kamino, Tatooine), so it may be difficult even for those who see colours normally.

It is also a bit difficult to notice the little red arrows in starfighter assault, but I conditioned myself more or less to focus on them.

@felker_s Hi,

I hope i can help you a little bit. The xbox one has a small colorblind mode (CB mode).

You can adjust the color depth to light or dark. Go to Start ▶️ Options ▶️ Video

If it does not help, please let me know.

And great thanks @EA_Roger 👍🙂

I have the same issue.  The color blind modes don't change the squad colors at all so if you spawn with others they end up looking like the enemy to someone with color deficiencies.  I never had this problem with the first Battlefront since you were not spawning with 3 or 4 other players who had a different color than the rest of your team.  This makes multiplayer almost impossible for me to play.  If I had the option to not spawn with a squad or to select my own colors for teams and squad that would be ideal.

I agree. If there was a way to make an option for colors like black, red, yellow and blue that would be great! 

@Freggi-Liz
Thank you for the suggestion, but I've already looked at my options there, no tweaking seems to help in this case.

@felker_s

I'm sorry to hear that. What do you think of an external visual aid, which was specially designed for colorblind people?

The manufacturer Enchroma developed special glasses for people who are colorblind. Some players in my community work with it, especially the console area. The glasses are a bit expensive, but they are a fine support for everyday life indoors and outdoors area

EnChroma have different types of colorblind, whether red, green or lighter area.

I'll share some links here

The colorblind glasses are also available at amazon 🙂

@Freggi-Liz
Uh, yes, I feel like that's a bit overpriced (as is everything that is supposed to heal / aid you...) and I already have regular glasses, so it would be a bit... complicated. When it comes to bad vision, I got the full package, I can't see very far and even if I do, the colours are messed up. :D

Anyway, not to be an a-hole (come on, swear filter, won't you let anything slide), because I really appreciate your help, but I still think a simple tweak in-game on the developers' part would be much easier and would solve this problem for many more people than just me.

Hej @felker_s

Agree completely. New games  should have a port to enable barrier-free gaming

There are some EA games, where it works very well. I'm sorry that this is not the case here, let us see what the future holds. 🙂

Thanks for your constructive feedback, which I really appreciate aswell

Have nice weekend

Cheers

Liz
