SUMMARY
I have a visual disability and I would like an accessibility enhancement that
allows me to work around issues in games such as The Talos Principle 2 where
the compass and puzzle name are small and cannot be adjusted. Note that I did
report the issue with the compass due to accessibility issues in a forum
thread, but my issue has been ignored, hence why I'd like to have a
work-around. Of course, this can apply to every-day tasks outside of games such
as keeping track of time. Here's the scenario with multiple fixed overlays:
1. I'm in the world where there are 8 puzzles and 2 lost puzzles. I want to go
to a lost puzzle, so I execute the keyboard shortcut such as Ctrl+Alt+1. This
turns on the fixed magnified screen overlay that enlarges the compass.
2. I found the lost puzzle by using the compass, so I decided to turn off the
fixed overlay (Ctrl+Alt+1).
3. I turn on the fixed magnified screen overlay for viewing the name of the
puzzle before I enter inside the puzzle area (Ctrl+Alt+2).
4. The name of the puzzle shows and is enlarged so that I can read the name of
the puzzle.
5. I then turn off the overlay and proceed normally to solve a puzzle
(Ctrl+Alt+2).
6. Rinse and repeat for any puzzles I need to go to by repeating steps 1 to 5.
