The red stun VFX is being removed, confirmed by Patricia!
In a recent thread, which will be linked in this post, BHVR Dev Patricia has confirmed that the developers are going to remove the red pallet stun visual effect that was added with the most recent content update.
There were many complaints that this VFX was causing physical discomfort to Killer players - nausea, headaches, general discomfort - and the feedback from the players was overwhelmingly negative. Nobody knew why it was added, and everybody wanted it removed after it was added.
This post serves to alert users that the stun VFX has been addressed and will soon be removed. Also, Patricia did say to share the information, so I’m just doing my part. This post could be pinned to always appear at the top so other users could read that the VFX is going before they go to make more posts complaining about it.
Thank you, BHVR, for listening to our feedback.
Edit: Multiple edits because my phone autocorrect was on the fritz.

Why remove it when a on off would give people a choice and make everyone happy
Fair choice. I would disable it personally but it does add depth to the game.
Another instance of bad ideas being put into the game with no communication with the community before it gets release. They may talk a lot but they definitely are not talking enough and asking us about changes of what we want.
Speaking of which...
Don’t nerf ghost face.
@Patricia
is a on off option too much to ask for?
So people can remove it if they want
i personally like it.
if tiny stuff like that hurts people's eyes, they have much much bigger problems
Next we're going to be removing all the doc screen effects, Deep wound screen blood, and the bright lights from gens and flashlights
On off please, I really like the red flash at the edges of my screen, It'd be cool if it faded out at the same time stuns ended.
Thanks for sharing the great news!
thank you for listening to the community
This change is better than removing the pallet vacuum thank you
Nice nice nice! Thank you so much for listening us @Patricia !
Option would be also nice but this is totally fine by me!
