I get migraines occasionally with auras, and the artificial lens flair with the torch out looks very similar to the auras I get. It's very uncomfortable to see those moving around the screen while moving and I think may have actually triggered a migraine this weekend. :\

I found that the effect is gone with "Effects" or "Post Processing" set to "Low" but I hate to remove other quality effects from the game world just to get rid of the lens flare. An individual option/toggle would be great....or, you know, torches don't cause lens flair, so you could just remove it because it really doesn't add anything to the experience. ;)

As long as there's no separate option provided to specifically disable the lens flare of the torch, you may want to try disabling lens flare globally for the game, and see, if that is a feasible workaround for the time being.

For this, you will need to edit a configuration file of the game, or more specifically, a configuration file of the game engine, the Unreal Engine 4. No other games will be affected by this change.

The file is located at this path: %LocalAppData%\Medieval_Dynasty\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\Engine.ini

The file will contain a Core.System section. If it lacks a SystemSettings section, simply append one as shown below. If it contains a SystemSettings section, just append the r.LensFlareQuality option to that.

[Core.System]
....
[SystemSettings]
r.LensFlareQuality=0

Here's one of the many ways you can have a go at working the file:

1. Press Windows-<R>, and type (or copy paste) %LocalAppData%, then press enter
2. Find the folder named Medieval_Dynasty, and create a copy of it. That's your backup.
3. Open the Medieval_Dynasty folder, then navigate to Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
4. Find the Engine.ini file, and edit it as described further up
5. Save the file, close the editor, start the game and pull out a torch at night

I will give that a try tomorrow, thank you!
