The journalist who warned players of epileptic seizure risks in _Cyberpunk 2077 _ has received dozens of videos camouflaged as support that are actually capable of inducing photosensitivity triggers. Most, if not all, games feature seizure warnings that pop up in-game ahead of the main menu screen. However, players with epilepsy should be extra wary of the Braindance segments and other design choices featured in CD Projekt RED's forthcoming role-playing ti

CD Projekt Red has responded well to Ruppert's warning. On Twitter the developer replied directly to Game Informer 's message and declared its intention to add a new warning to the game aside from the one included in the EULA. It also mentioned that the dev team is already looking into the specific triggers listed by Ruppert, and will be implementing "a more permanent solution" as soon as possible. Whether this solution consists of a blanket overhaul to the game's lighting or a discrete mode that epileptic fans can toggle on remains to be seen. There is as of yet no time frame for this solution either; in the meantime, epileptic fans who want to play the game should take extreme care to avoid th

However, the patch will not fix issues caused by incompatible settings on PC, as Döhla mentioned in yet another tweet that " it won‘t help if you‘re running the PC version with settings your PC can’t handle. Game has tons of options to find a matching configuration though ." Lastly, the dev closed out the impromptu Q&A with one last response to a question about the copies of Cyberpunk 2077 that reviewers got to play, stating, " It is a different game with console update, ye

But barring one final last-minute delay, Cyberpunk 2077 is officially less than a week from finally hitting shelves, and fans and developers alike are gearing up for the release that seemed like it would never come. In order to usher in this legendary game, Cyberpunk 2077 is partnering with Twitter to hold a virtual launch party called CyberNight . The event will feature developer Q&As, exclusives, and "surprises & more." It will be hosted on Twitter on launch day, starting at 6PM

Unfortunately, when the game hits shelves on December 10th, not everyone will be able to fully enjoy the bright lights of Night City. Liana Ruppert, a journalist for Game Informer , issued a PSA yesterday warning epileptic fans of an overabundance of flashing lights in the game which could potentially trigger seizures. Given the high-tech nature of the game's setting, this is perhaps understandable, but that doesn't make it any less dangerous. Among the many potential triggers Ruppert outlined were decorative lights pulsing in multiple bars and nightclubs, as well as a glitchy visual effect which appeared every time Keanu Reeves' character Johnny Silverhand appeared onscreen. She also identified the game's braindance mechanic as a major threat; the headset that protagonist V uses to engage with this mechanic in-game bears an unfortunate resemblance to a medical device used specifically to trigger epileptic episodes, and is roughly as effect

Leaks like this aren't typically the most reliable way to get information, especially for something as major as this. But DanXcel has backed up his claims with some pretty convincing photographic evidence, including a photo of the game discs themselves in their case. There's also precedent for players getting their copies early; one fan received their copy of the PS4 Collector's Edition from Best Buy two days ago, well ahead of the game's actual launch. Of course, fans who still doubt the validity of DanXcel's Reddit leak will be able to verify it for themselves in just five days' t

The question of accessibility in video games is a long process, and an important one. No one deserves to threaten their health and safety to play a video game because of forces outside their own control. Unfortunately, advocates for safer and better options have an uphill battle ahead of them, due not only to the complex nature of the issue but to blatant insensitivity. For instance, after her epilepsy PSA was published, Ruppert began receiving videos designed to trigger her epilepsy from trolls masquerading as sympathetic fellow sufferers. This kind of behavior is abhorrent and, tragically, it's all too common in the video game commun

A Reddit user has leaked facts about _Cyberpunk 2077 _ after apparently receiving an early copy of the game. CD Projekt Red's long-awaited RPG is finally set to release next week on December 9th, after a long line of delays. The most recent holdup actually surprised the developers as much as it surprised the fans, as they were apparently not made aware of the delay until the news went public on social me

The best way to do this is to look away from the screen completely during Cyberpunk 2077's Braindance animations , or pausing the game frequently to avoid prolonged flashing lights. Some TVs and monitors have modes that reduce certain kinds of light, such as lowering blue light. While none of these are surefire fixes for avoiding seizures during Cyberpunk 2077 DLC|Https://Cyberpunk2077Fans.Com/ 2077 , they're currently the only known ways to try to avoid epilepsy triggers while playing the g
