katomaro Posted November 10, 2025 Report Posted November 10, 2025 Hi, I am new to the game. i got a condition called Keratoconus in advanced stages, in fact, at the need of a corneal transplant to recover some of my vision. One of the effects it has on vision is causing extremely high astigmatism because the cornea stops being an oval shape and starts being a nalformed cone. On top of that i have an intra-corneal ring implant which was meant to halt progress but it also affects the way light enters the eye. With normal text I already struggle to read, but during Temporal Storms (so far I have only met light ones), the added glitch characters make it impossible for me to read/make out nearly all text, think of it as each light stroke having an extra edge to them and light rays scaping them, when the text gets distorted during the temporal storm, the added glitch characters greatly worsen the way text is laid out, making everything be pretty much blurred. While my case is of extreme levels due my genetical degenerative disease and makes chat very unusable, I believe this would also improve those with high astigmatism due other reasons. Personally me and my friend just chatted on Discord until the storm was over, otherwise i simply would not have been able to chat. Attached is a screenshot of what I mean . 5
Arisilde Posted December 1, 2025 Report Posted December 1, 2025 I don't disagree, but until it's added; here's a mod you can use to do this: https://mods.vintagestory.at/accessibilitytweaks
Attac_Mage Posted December 7, 2025 Report Posted December 7, 2025 At the very least I'd be fine with it being an option, but at the most I'd rather text get changed to have some words be glyphs or unreadable still in some sense so that sentences still get garbled (maybe at the highest storm intensities only). This just seems like something that only affects .1% of the playerbase (of the portion that use text chat in the first place) and should be modified by said user rather than destroying it for everyone else.
