Star Wars Outlaws fulfills the fantasy of many players who want to be a scoundrel in a dangerous and treacherous world. Although the game successfully creates an immersive experience, some elements can disrupt that immersion.

One such issue is the use of yellow paint to indicate the path ahead or to mark climbable surfaces. While some players may not find this feature annoying – some may even appreciate its presence – others may not like it. If you’re in the latter group, you’ve come to the right place. The following guide details how to remove it.

How to remove yellow pain in Star Wars Outlaws

You don’t have to overcome any hurdles or install a mod to remove the yellow color. Fortunately, Massive Entertainment, the developer of Star Wars Outlawshas built an option into the game to disable this feature, but it can be a little difficult to find in the flood of options and menus.

Here’s what you need to do:

• Once you are in the game, open the settings menu.
• Click on the Gameplay menu (the second option in the Settings menu).
• Scroll down a bit until you Find Explorer Mode in the VISUAL section.
• Turn it on.

That’s it! The immersion-breaking yellow color is now removed from the game. However, keep in mind that this can make traversal and pathfinding more difficult. But if you’re looking for a more immersive experience, it’s worth it.

What is the Yellow Paint Controversy?

There is a growing opposition in the gaming community to the use of yellow color to convey information, for example to indicate the next path, to mark climbable surfaces, or to highlight interactive or breakable objects. This feature is also used to better visually highlight points of interest.

While this feature has clear advantages and is particularly helpful for new or casual players, some find it disruptive to immersion and see it as a simplistic solution to a problem with the game design. The recently released Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster has reignited this controversy.

Possible solution to the yellow color problem

Many games, such as Star Wars Outlawsnow offer players the option to disable this feature if they find it unattractive, thus accommodating both types of players. Horizon Forbidden West offers another effective solution: yellow markers appear only when players use their Focus – an augmented reality device. These markers disappear after a few seconds, balancing immersion with gameplay assistance and justifying their presence through the in-game story.
