Please fix popping bubbles that cause blinding flashes in VR

Qbo

I guess this is a suggestion rather than a bug report.

In my Vive, getting bubbles from coral or a pipe is painful because of how they pop with a bright white animation. I close my eyes when breathing them because the repeating flash is so bright it's going to cause a seizure.

It would be nice to have a very dim animation instead.

This is part of the massive polish movement of 2017 ( I hope ) that will extend through every nook and cranny of the subnautica world

But seriously polish is desperately needed 'roud round these parts

I've got some screenshots of it happening.

@Qbo, I promise I'm not being a jerk, just asking a question (because I've no experience with VR myself) - is it possible to crank down the gamma? Basically, is the game brightness set too high? On a monitor it wouldn't be very noticeable, but I'd imagine that if it's right in front of your eyes, it might be more jarring.

Again, not trying to be a smartass, just asking.

In Subnautica, bubbles are more dangerous than Reaper Leviathans... Currently, bubbles can practically destroy the Cyclops. Beware the bubble!

Qbo

None in the Vive software, or in game. I just checked. Thanks for your response.
