Check moving backgrounds, bright flashes, dark scenes, overlapping markers and the smallest supported display arrangement. Verify that selection borders do not erase team shapes and that patterns survive scaling and compression.\n\nUse grayscale and color-vision simulations to find likely failures, then test with players who have different color-vision needs. Microsoft explicitly warns that simulations do not replace player testing. Gather whether players correctly recognize and act on the signal, not merely whether they prefer the palette. Keep screenshots and reproduction conditions for each failure.
