Heat on Melee Weapons causes a blinding glare after Plague Star Update

[Refined_Cobalt]

All weapons that have Heat on them now have a bright glare that seems to track along with the weapon. It's very blinding and could cause people eye strain. Turning off weapons FX is the only current way to prevent it.

You can replicate this by putting Heat on a melee weapon

Me too, It's too bright. Telos boltace's new visual effect hurts my eyes.

Same issue with me. It's hard to tell from the screenshot but the things are actually blinding; they give me a headache if I stare at them for more than a few seconds/

[Hayrack]

Fix this ASAP! Every elemental effect on weapons gives off blinding flashes and glare, even with bloom turned off, that not only irritates the eyes, but also affects Autoexposure in the scenes! In worst cases you can barely see in front of you because scene becomes dark and glares totally obstruct the view!

Not many people is commenting this, but I hope it gets fixed soon. I don't want to turn off weapon FX because I like seeing the elemental effect on melees, but after a while this weird glare gets annoying and irritating for the eyes.

[Hayrack]

Pictures don't do justice how annoying it is, so here is the gif. This is on low settings, particles high and weapon elemental FX enabled.

So, uh, I put heat on my nikana with Blind Justice, and then did the forward, block attack where you dash forward for a second:

Now imagine that pulsing red and yellow.  It was like staring into the sun.

Also having this issue. Makes any dark interior extremely difficult to fight in because of the glare/autoexposure combo.

Seriously, were the developers wearing Ray-Bans when they did this? Hurts my eyes so much I turned off Weapon FX. Fix this ASAP, it's the dumbest thing ever.

[Foxfries]

same problem here, thought it was just me lol. don't really wanna get rid of weapon fx since it makes my twin basolk look really cool but i actually can't see right on snowy outdoor maps that have a lot of differences in light (indoor/outdoor transitions etc)

Checked again after the latest update: still nothing changed. However, I did some more testing and it looks like it's tied to the brightness of the energy color somehow? You can see how it looks below with white energy versus black energy. Also notably, you can see the weapon effect shining through Mag's torso.

Too bad, I was hoping they adressed this issue in the lastest hotfix, but is still the same. This forced glow is starting to give me headaches. I don't want to turn off weapon FX because I like the effect, but this thing is pushing me to hide all of my heat melees in order of having a comfortable game session. Good bye to my cool fashion frames. 😓

Latest update seems to have fixed the issue, at least for me. Thank you DE.
