Eye strain, dizziness, headache from WoW still/again v2.0

Not sure there’s anything support can help you with in this case since they don’t handle anything related to development (including feedback), and not entirely sure I understand the exact nature of the problem you described, but there’s a thing in WoW that used to give me severe eyestrain. The problem is the setting itself was removed from the ingame options a long time ago and the only way to turn it off is through the Config.wtf file (which you can modify, it’s allowed as it’s just a text file).
I can’t guarantee it’ll work, but I don’t know if you’ve tried it or not. Go to the WoW folder and find the retail/WTF/ folder path from there, then open the file called Config.wtf with a text editor (like notepad). Look for this line:
SET ffxGlow
and if it’s not there at all add this:
SET ffxGlow “0”
Keep in mind it’ll also turn off some full screen effects like the drunk haze effect, but that cannot be avoided I’m afraid.
