Apex Legends dev promises fix for damage issue affecting colorblind players Respawn EntertainmentThe devs at Respawn Entertainment have promised a fix is coming soon for an issue that can make Apex Legends \u201csignificantly harder\u201d to play, particularly for colorblind players. Respawn have done a pretty good job at making Apex Legends accessible for colorblind players, and have consistently responded to feedback from the community, but every now and then something slips through the cracks. In a Reddit post titled, \u201cPlease help this get noticed,\u201d user TheScrollFeeder shared details of an issue they are facing in the game: They currently cannot distinguish between gold shield damage and non-shield damage thanks to a recent color change. \u201cI am colorblind and so is my brother,\u201d they wrote. \u201cSince no one else has complained about this we assumed it was a distinct different color to gold like green. We cannot see the difference in these colors or find it super hard to distinguish. \u201cIf it was possible to change this to the original color it would make it 110% easier to see the difference. I understand this isn\u2019t a major issue but it does make playing the game significantly harder for me when I come against someone with a gold shield.\u201d Fortunately, it didn\u2019t take long for Respawn to respond to the problem. One of the Apex Legends devs, who goes by the username exgeniar, took to the comments section to reveal that a fix is already on the way. \u201cI\u2019ll just keep this short and sweet. First of all, thank you for bringing this to our attention. Detailed bug and constructive bug reports are super helpful,\u201d they wrote. \u201cI personally think this is a major issue, and I think it is safe to say a number of us at Respawn also feel [this way]. So as the messenger, I have good news.\u201d It turns out Respawn already has a fix for the issue, and it was meant to be released by now. Unfortunately, delays happened, and it\u2019s now expected that the problem will be hotfixed in Apex Legends within the next week. \u201cWe wanted to get this hotfix out earlier, but sadly, things were a bit hectic last week and we had to delay a whole bunch of stuff, and this fix was part of the postponed,\u201d the dev explained. \u201cSince it\u2019s a client \u2018hotfix\u2019 testing is way more rigorous and will take a few days. Assuming nothing goes wrong, you should see an update within one calendar week. Sit tight, a fix is coming.\u201d As TheScrollFeeder explained in their post, this is a small change but one that could really help improve the Apex Legends experience for colorblind players, so it\u2019s great that Respawn are already on the case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
