Colourblind Options need to be reworked

Hey, I'm just your friendly neighbourhood colourblind man, and your options are absolutely no help at all, for me, they mostly make things worse. The squad and the enemy colours are always too simila...

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.

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

      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 🙂

        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.
