Dragon Age Flicker Removal

By request, removal of some migraine- and seizure-inducing flashing effects from the game. Currently includes the following:

  • Reduced fire effects (updated in 1.1)
  • Works on most fires and fire spells globally. Doesn't affect lighting cast on nearby characters. Fix for lighting at campsite is provided separately.
  • No archdemon death flicker
  • Turns off the bright yellow strobe lighting throughout the scene as well as the flickery overlay animations.
  • No archdemon dreams
  • Replaces the flashing/pulsing archdemon dreams with a blank movie file. In my limited testing the game appeared to freeze on a still image while the audio played, before resuming the cutscene.
  • No screen shake (updated in 1.3)
  • Disables all scripted screen shake effects such as when standing within an earthquake spell, on the bridge during the prologue, and during the broodmother fight. This updated version does not conflict with popular combat mods that alter core scripts. 
  • No environmental light flicker (updated in 1.4, renamed from "No Ambient Flicker At Camp")
  • Nighttime firelight sources will shed a constant light on the surrounding ground and nearby characters, rather than a variable flickering light.
  • Included: Party Camp, Flemeth's Hut exterior

Un/Installation:
  • Files go in [Documents]\Bioware\Dragon Age\packages\core\override. Can be installed at any time. Delete to uninstall.
