How to disable object highlighting in Soma.

[Silent Krabs]

Your opinion.

What you'll have to do is to go into SOMA's main folder through steamapps/common if you are on Steam and go into the script/modules folder. Then open a file called 'HighlightEffectHandler'. Open it with Notepad.

There should be two lines near the top of the file:
float gfHightlightEffectMaxDistance = 3;
float gfHightlightEffectMaxDistanceSqr = 3*3;

Change them to this:
float gfHightlightEffectMaxDistance = 0;
float gfHightlightEffectMaxDistanceSqr = 0*0;

That should be it, happy immersing. I hope the highlighting didn't damage the game for you or anything.

Thanks for the technical advice. I still enjoyed Soma immensely even with the object highlighting. Playing through it again remains quite tense even though I now know everything that's going to happen. Now I can enjoy it all the more.
