Mobile platforms are unaffected by this change and will retain sound effects and the visualizer. You can find this new option under the Accessibility tab in the settings.
Streamer mode no longer just says "Player###", instead it now uses the player's cosmetic character as their display name - "Character[###]". So instead of “Eliminated Player100” you may see, “Eliminated Rust Lord[100]”. Anyone eliminating someone in streamer mode will now see Streamer[###].
