Is it possible to turn off the flamethrower flashing light effect?

[Momchilo.8079]

Hello all,

So I created an engineer, and I went to the PvP lobby to tryout the weapons. When I equipped the flamethrower I really liked the mechanics of it, but my problem is that whenever I use the basic flame thrower attack there is flashing light effect. This is really tiresome for the eyes and I don't think I would be able to play this class or least the flamethrower kit if I'm not able to turn off that flashing effect.

So my question is, is it possible to turn off the flashing light from the flamethrower basic attack via a console command or in the options? I had no luck finding that option so far.

Thanks in advance.

indeed it is called Light Adaptation, found under the graphic options. I turn it off when playing late at night. It doesn't get rid of it completely but it stops the reflections from the textures around you. :)

Nope still got it. The flicker is much more worse live than in this gif https://gyazo.com/3178fbd073c889c8354e36edfaa44f08

Man flamethrower looks fun to play, wish there was a way to turn this off.

I'd suggest trying this one, it affects lighting.
