Enable Combat Hit Flash
We recommend turning on Combat Hit Flash in the Gameplay settings to give you an easier time recognizing whenever your attacks or skills hit an enemy or hostile player.
Turn On Advanced Tooltips
We also highly suggest turning on Advanced Tooltip Compare and Advanced Tooltip Information in the Gameplay settings. Having in-depth item and Skill information will let you make better choices when comparing two pieces of gear and leveling up specific Skills.
Adjust Item Drops Sounds
If you want notifications when items of specific rarities drop, you can adjust Item Drop Sounds inside the Sound options. The settings in this section allow you to modify when sounds play if items are dropping or nearby in-game, including filtering out lower-rarity items and specific item categories.

Turn On Subtitles
We recommend turning on Subtitles in the Sound or Accessibility menu. This option makes it easier to understand the game's dialogue during cinematic sequences.
Disable Screen Shake Effects
For those who are easily nauseous or dislike shaky cameras, you can disable Screen Shake Effects in the game's Gameplay settings. Turning this option off can also improve visual clarity during intense moments in combat.
Enable Color Blind Filters
Diablo 4 also features Color Blind Filters in the Graphics settings. The game supports filters for Protanopia, Deuteranopia, and Tritanopia, making it an accessible game for those with color blindness.
Toggle Screen Reader and Text to Speech
For those with low vision or blindness, the game provides Screen Reader and Text to Speech functionality in the Accessibility settings, where players can toggle these options and tweak their speed and volume.
