Small update: I just figured out that my eyes are already tired when sitting in lobby for 2 mins. Idk if it's font size or something else... edit: I can't increase UI to 125%, then it's supper blurry and/or weird.

Tried all that. Silhouttes is only way to see my units on this chaos of graphics - so I must have it turned on. I tried to install ModernGui mod , maybe texts are weird (and I think they are, especially when UI zoom to 125%). Will see and experiment with everything a bit more. But I kinda lost motivation. I am struggling with this game for few years, comming, going away and returning. Thanks to all one more time. If anyone has ideas, feel free to post. And if someone can develop mod, it'd be great too

Weird look + can't join Multiplayer Lobby + can't do anything with mouse + tons of errors in top left. It only keeps resizing selection box, nothing else.

Tried now on spectating 1v1 (pop limit 200). In combination to other changes, doesn't help. I reduced everything to minimum and still get 30 FPS during big fights. IDK if I can play 0AD on this hardware (intel i3 gen 7, Indel HD integrated graphics, 8GB ram) - it might be too weak for such graphics game. Maybe if it's stronger, i'd be able to incrase quality without lag so consequenlty it'd be better for eyes... no idea. shame there's no some "clean graphics"/low-performance mod.

bro, I play Starcraft and OpenRA and have no issues at all. I can play it for hours.

@guerringuerrin I tried this ffm_mod, but i didn't notice change. As I can see it's just for colors, not graphics itself.

Oh i never understood what Vsync is for. Tried it now.... It goes above 60, but drops to 40-50 due to PC performance. But it doesn't help. Just spectated game for 5 mins and my eyes are already tired. Maybe b/c of playing other settings... i have to set to low quality and then it's pixelated. But idk, i didn't have such problem with Minecraft years ago...

Yeah I used "Redshift" software on Linux to cope with blue light. I had problem in OpenRA with Snow maps. But it didn't help me so I don't use it. "one thing I have noticed in 0 A.D. is that the lack of contrast makes me strain a bit more to distinguish certain units" This is super annoying thing and reason why I hate all new games. That's how Starcraft 2 looks to me compared to Starcraft 1... terrible thing. I'll check this mod. It'd be really cool if someone would develop some graphics mod to reduce graphical overwhelm so you can really focus on play not at finding and distinguising units during chaos.

1) I can set to 100, but my PC is weak so it can go up to like 50 or so. And once armies grows, then it drops to 20 regardless of limit in Settings. 2) Also 50-60 limit should be OK - I have that configured in an another RTS and it's fine for my eyes.

Abolutely agree. Starcraft 1 graphics are perfection I'd say. AOE2 also cool. I tried to reduce all graphics to lowest, but it very bad, like Playstation 1 graphics and also it seems it's not better for eyes. I don't enjoy playing 0AD like that. Is there any mod to "change" models/graphics but without affecting gameplay and ability to play Multiplayer?

If it's my monitor, it'd not be case ONLY with 0AD. Re FPS limit, I have same limit in OpenRA (another RTS) to 55 fps and I don't have any issues. Now I check FPS and it actuallyu drops way below 55, to like 15-20... Now i lowered all Graphics settings to lowest so now 0AD looks like ugly Minecraft Will see how it works for my eyes.

I feel very tired, unlike with other things on my PC. Why could it be? Are my settings correct? What I can do to fix it?

Yeah bro, make sense. But it maybe deserve more attention ? Maybe it can attract more devs to join efforts? I guess chances are small tho, but still, there are some I believe.

wait wut? You guys already working on fixing issue from this topic? That's huge bro.

For ELO to work near to correctly, you need matchmaking system. Otherwise, as guerringuerrin said, this is small community - you will find out your relative skill level by playing with others. Btw, i'd not use ELO numbers, rather Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, etc. Or Level 1,2,3....
