Assassin’s Creed Mirage might take Ubisoft’s historical stabathon series back to basics, but there’s a newer visual effect which players want rid of.
The game’s visual chromatic aberration effect is switched on by default and there’s no way to turn it off – despite it being pronounced and sometimes quite distracting in certain areas.
One of the first things I did when starting to play Mirage was look for some kind of slider or toggle to tune the effect (or just disable it completely). Alas, one does not exist.
Numerous fans have raised the issue across the game’s reddit and discord, enough that Ubisoft itself has apparently taken notice and acknowledged the volume of requests for a toggle option.
Eurogamer has contacted Ubisoft to see what it’s official plans are.
On the one hand, the effect adds to the game’s sun-drenched and heat-shimmered feel. But it frequently feels like it has been dialled up far too much, with the edges of buildings and other surfaces a mess of colours even in the centre of the screen.
