It's not that, it's the texturing. I'm color blind and most of the game looks like a blur. It's super hard for me to tell things apart without a 3d component. It's worse since the game is painted with the fallout-blend or gray, brown, and more gray. I can do play the game just fine but I end up missing a lot because I can't tell if from rocks.

There is a tool that might help you, it's called Visolve (http://www.ryobi-sol.co.jp/visolve/en/visolve.html http://www.ryobi-sol.co.jp/visolve/en/visolve.html). I couldn't find anything similar for Linux distros, though.

  That would be fantastic if I could download something like this for my thinkpad. I know what spectrum i need help with from doing the enchroma test. I'm red green. Edit: thinking about it more, the easiest way to get something like this would be to just put an overlay on my monitor with the coating that the enchroma uses. This would pretty much solve my issues.

    Maybe the color calibration features in the display stack could be used to apply something like this globally to a system. They should allow quite powerful color transformations.

You don't need a 3D component to solve that problem, only an optional bright outline around clickable objects like in Baldur's Gate 2. EDIT: It seems in this case it would have to go further than BG2, but I stand by the claim that BG2 style highlighting is a useful accessibility/convenience feature, and I personally did not find it immersion-breaking.

  That wouldn't help. I cant tell the difference between floors, doors, and walls. Also something like an outline around objects is really immersion breaking. Doing color shifting or removing a spectrum from being displayed like an enchroma would probably work.

That's why I liked Halo. Red and blue on a high contrast background. These days I use Enchroma [0] glasses. I still can't identify colors that well, but it helps with differentiation. [0] http://enchroma.com http://enchroma.com
