Underkeep Accessibility: Reduce Flashing and Camera Effects

Adjust readability and motion effects before a long expedition. The developer documents options to reduce animations, camera shake and other presentation effects; patch 1.0.4 also changes how the flashing option affects weather.

Check the current settings

The current player guide reports font choices, floating combat text settings and options affecting camera shake, flashing, portrait blinking, italics and wall-hit sounds. The developer’s May update independently confirms expanded accessibility controls.

Choose the settings that are comfortable for you. A recommendation to disable an animation for speed is not an accessibility requirement for every player.

A practical setup pass

1. Start with a font you can read at your usual viewing distance.
2. Check item tooltip delay and combat-text density.
3. Adjust movement and turning animations to a comfortable level.
4. Reduce camera shake, flashing and other effects you do not want.
5. Test a short safe exploration section and revisit the options if needed.

Avoid changing so many settings at once that you cannot identify which one improved the experience.

Weather flashing in 1.0.4

The patch note says disabling flashing now disables weather thunder effects too. If you still see the older behavior, check the installed build before assuming the setting is broken.

The note does not prove that every possible visual flash is removed on every platform. This site has not performed an accessibility certification or tested all display conditions.

Controller and display differences

Input glyphs and display modes are separate settings concerns. Check the controller guide for the PlayStation icon fix and the requirements page for the officially listed platform.
