  Agree we need an option to disable it, or reduce its intensity, or have it only appear at a certain point when you’re at immediate risk of hypothermia (not when you’ve still got plenty of time).
  
  As it is now it triggers motion sickness symptoms for me so it’s hard to play in those areas - I know the team is busy but maybe at least for the time being a “quick fix” option to just disable it entirely for accessibility reasons?

  I suffer from massive motionsickness in RL and gaming, for Enshrouded it also happens when in low visibility areas. I usually fix this by having wisps of light on me, but with the added frost effect on the screen edges limiting visibility I still experience issues. May we please have an off toggle for it or make the effect less filling?

  Here is a similar ticket, asking for an option to disable the frost effect entirely: https://enshrouded.featureupvote.com/suggestions/615492/option-to-disable-border-frost-effect

  tbh it's the only reason I want to kill the dragon right now. My stuff doesn't drop when I die from hypothermia, so I respawn 30 feet away and go right back to what I was doing. but the overlay makes it so hard to see, especially at certain times of day.

  It is a cool effect and I like the idea of it, but it is very difficult to see as I have terrible eyesight, especially at night in the game as the effect lays over the whole screen, If there was a way to dim it or lessen the opacity that would be a huge help.

  I can't see anything on the screen when the frost is up. Between my bad eye sight and CVD it stinks. Please help.

  makes it really hard to navigate caves or in the darkness in general. maybe only have it appear when you are a minute or two from the hypothermia countdown

  same problem here, i don't see anything with the frost layer, is too big and to intense, just give the option to remove it or have it only when you are actually dying of frost

  Aside from finding it too intrusive, I almost get ill from the Frost effect and it feels like my eyes get strained (specially during night with it on) . It might have something to do with my bad eyesight, but yeah… I’d love if there were a way to make it less intense, like maybe just 1 cm around the border, or to remove it completely.

  Game is great, over a hundred hours in and I hit the frost area for the first time. As soon as the frost effect hit the screen I searched for a solution and found this suggestion. I'm hard locked behind motion sickness, please implement a solution so people like us can resume playing your wonderful game.

  Please make this screen effect so it can be disabled.

  Vision needs to be improved, the frozen screen when in cold takes away to much from vision. Shroud vision should at least be improved with wisp, it should get a buff or an upgrade.
