Gazbeard Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I'm posting this from the point of view of a live streamer - there are workarounds for (youtube etc.) video producers. When livestreaming (twitch etc.) it is often neccesary to use the Esc. key to pause the game to attend to chat moderation or to Alt-Tab across to the streaming software to tweak a setting etc. Unfortunately that leaves the viewers looking at a dark grey screen of approx 85% opacity with a ghost of strongly lit highlights from the game showing through it. I'd like to suggest that there is a switch or slider in the options menu to reduce the holding screen's opacity down to around the 40% mark to allow viewers to still see a recognisable view of the character's viewpoint while the broadcaster does what they have to do. This would also help with moments such as "bio-breaks" and "food breaks" as well as "ergonomics breaks" (get up, stretch legs and back, etc.) without having to use complex scene switchers to put up be-right-back screens. With a more "watchable" paused view, it would need just a be-right-back text overlay (one click to make visible in OBS, or one button on a Streamdeck) plus it would keep the viewers aware of the game being played and the location it was at.
