I know I've posted about this before, but I'd really like to see some new options to disable a few more HUD/UI elements. I seem to be getting no response about this.

Since the last update (December 15, I think), I now CANNOT turn off that flashing red rune symbol on enemies doing unblockable attacks. Before that update, I was blissfully never seeing that ghastly, cartoony, irritating thing. Now I'm FORCED to see it all the time. When wild boars and chickens attack me, they look like they're literally on fire now. I have no choice.

I can't stand this, and it's killing my desire to play this game, so I stopped. I want to be able to play AC: Valhalla as immersively as I possibly can, and that usually means disabling silly, artificial HUD elements. The last patch made my gameplay experience worse.

In addition, will you finally let us turn off those obnoxious mid-screen messages ("Ammo is full," "Find the key for this door," "This door is barred," "Rations are full," etc.), those colorful weapon trails, the aiming reticle that appears every time I crouch, and (while we're at it) those white sparkly explosions every time I loot something/someone?

Just give us the options. That's all I'm asking. Let us have that.

@c-pick Hey there! Thank you for taking the time to write this post. I apologize for any inconvenience or frustration that may have been caused by these features in Assassin's Creed Valhalla! I understand how these could grow to be annoying over time. Moving forward, do you have the following settings turned on under the Interface tab in the game's settings?

Enemy Proximity
Tips and Messages
Contextual Actions
Controls Hints

These sound like what you may have mentioned in your post, so it may be helpful to disable them and see if they make the improvements you're looking for. Nonetheless, I would be happy to report your comments!

Hello @C-Pick and @True_Coverage. My apologies for not getting back to you sooner.

Please, could you both provide me with a short video demonstrating that red rune flash that annoys you so I could pass your feedback to the Game team?
Indeed it works as intended but I will be happy to pass on your suggestion.

Let me know if you have any questions!
