This was actually added a few updates ago! In settings under Usability you can find a Photosensitivity option that you can toggle.

Under Video settings we also have opacity sliders for self, ally, and enemy VFX that you can use to tone down effects.

Hope this helps!

The crew is investigating this now! Appreciate the report.

we released a hotfix this morning that fixed an issue with Vulcan's Turret/Thumper not working with various Items!

Patch Notes here

Hey Deities, we've seen a lot of community discussion around CC Buffering lately. We have been keeping up with all the threads and took some time to discuss our options internally. We have seen two major pieces of feedback that we are looking to address in a hotfix that is scheduled for next week.

TL;DR on the changes

• Leaps will be excluded from the Buffering system, just like dashes or channels.
• God animations will now complete their Postfires before they enter a CC posture state.
• More details below!

Leaps have been the main frustration point in the CC Buffering system. We are happy that players seem to be generally happy with the direction of Buffering and its impact on their games, but having someone leap away when your ability landed has proven to be particularly frustrating. We discussed potential options, like pausing any duration based CC's while the god is untargetable and then resuming them when the god lands, but that...

Are you having this issue in live matches or did you experience this in Practice?

Have the team looking into this! Can you shoot me your IGN so I can pass it over to the crew to investigate?

We're aware that some players that have completed this quest in SMITE 2 aren't receiving the rewards. Don't worry! Your progress has still been tracked and we'll be granting rewards to everyone eligible on January 14.

We're investigating crash reports on PS5 and believe we've isolated the cause to bringing up the scoreboard (Touchpad by default).

We're working to resolve ASAP. If you're on PS5 we recommend not opening the scoreboard in game until we resolve. Apologies for the inconvenience!

Edit/Update: This issue has been resolved. Make sure you've downloaded the latest PS5 patch (build version 5.3.1561864) before hopping into game!

Joust (and Duel) are targeted to release in January.

We're pushing to release tomorrow!

Thanks for posting the recap! Hope you all enjoyed. Catch you again on Monday at 1pm Eastern!

Ranked is temporarily disabled while the team sorts out an issue with match lobbies sometimes launching in a broken state. Working to get things resolved as quick as we can!

Team is heads down working on this as their number 1 priority to fix right now.

We think we have a workaround/fix that should get you out of this broken state:

1. Stay in the lobby
2. While in the lobby kill your internet connection to your PC
3. Stay in the lobby and wait for the game to throw you back to the home screen
4. Once on the home screen you should be good to reconnect your internet and queue for another game

Fenrir has been released! Rolled out a server fix just a bit ago that turned him back on.

We're stoked to have been able to work with the amazing BERNTH on the music! Check out his video below for a behind the scenes look at how the riff-tastic remix of the SMITE 2 theme was created!

Update: This should now be resolved!

Appreciate the report. The Team is aware and looking into it!
