Niantic’s Pokemon GO recently implemented an update that has put players at risk of seizures, due to a sudden white light appearing on-screen when a Pokemon is being accessed from the world map. Now, Niantic has reached out to a fan to let the public know that a fix is being rolled out to address the seizure risk issue.

On TheSilphRoad subReddit, user DexstarrRageCat posted that Niantic had reached out to them after they had written about the seizure risk issue on another website. In the letter, Niantic shared that it is fully aware of what is happening within the mobile app, explaining that a change was implemented in the transition time between screens in Pokemon GO,  causing a white light to appear during the transition. This change was applied in the most recent Pokemon GO update, and the company is working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

On the Reddit thread, Pokemon GO players thanked DexstarrRageCat for sharing the news with their fellow fans. Other fans were glad that Niantic had a very timely response and had treated the matter seriously. Another Reddit user mentioned that the update has already been applied via an unofficial APK site, stating that the encounter fade duration has been tweaked. Though confirmed by another commenter, who noted that the screen transition time is now longer than normal, Pokemon GO fans should still wait for the developer's official update announcements for Android and iOS devices.

Overall, Pokemon GO fans seem to think that Niantic's response time and treatment of the issue as very impressive. With many upcoming activities such as the Pokemon GO Bidoof Breakout Event and the new Special Research event featuring Team Rocket, players are once again actively jumping into the mobile game. Hopefully Niantic's official updates will be rolled out soon so players will be kept safe as they enjoy the many activities that Pokemon GO has in store for them.
