Frequently Asked Questions
What visual indicators does Damage Overlay provide?
It renders a peripheral red vignette as player health decreases and triggers a momentary screen flash when taking damage.
How do you change when the low-health vignette starts appearing?
Modify the Overlay Start Health setting in the configuration screen to specify the exact heart threshold where the vignette begins.
Can the speed of the damage flash animation be changed?
Yes, adjusting the Flash Fade Speed option determines how quickly the hit flash disappears after taking a hit.
Does the vignette show up in clean screenshots?
No, pressing the F1 key hides the damage overlay alongside the rest of your graphical interface.
