Been playing the new campaign (which has been really fun!), but there's something that's really getting in my way: the new blocks for effects, like boosters etc.

r/TrackMania - The new blocks aren't very accessible to players with disabilities

Like on map 04

They're cool blocks, but with my poor eyesight (I have a handicap) I run into a major problem: I can't actually see it. Especially while driving, when I am looking at the next corner, or at high speed when I have very little time to be searching for them. They're fine if they cover the entire road, but in configurations like this where there is a specific area I have to pass through, half the time I just miss it and have to reset.

It's fairly annoying, as I can't do anything about it, except for going into cam 7 and hoping I can roughly remember where it is, and hope for the best. But it's incredibly demoralizing to be on a PB run (specifically map 04) and just missing the booster after the last CP.

I've asked around for help, and I believe there isn't any setting in the menu to make them easier to see. I think it would be great if there could be setting, or maybe a change to the blocks themselves, to make them easier to see for people with impaired vision. Could be an outline on the edges, more opacity, or a line at the bottom with high contrast. Could maybe also be integrated into a colourblind mode. I think players with disabilities could really benefit from this, as the new blocks are causing some big issues now.

Hey there guys,

Thank you for reaching out to us and sharing this, we really appreciate it and I'm sorry to hear the current colour scheme of the new effects blocks have rendered some tracks inaccessible for you!

I've raised this feedback to the team so they can look into this and see what can be done to makes these blocks easier for all players to see.

If there's anything else you'd like to share or we can help with, please let us know!
