Minimize Motion Sickness in Avowed: A Guide to Optimal Settings
Many first-person game players experience motion sickness. If Avowed is leaving you feeling queasy, these settings can help.
Recommended Settings to Reduce Motion Sickness in Avowed
The primary culprits for motion sickness in first-person games are often head movement, field of view, and motion blur. Avowed is no exception.
Eliminating Head Movement and Camera Shake
To combat motion sickness, start by adjusting head movement and camera shake. Navigate to Settings > Game > Camera and modify the following:
- Third-Person View: Your preference (on or off).
- Head Bobbing: Off
- Head Bobbing Strength: 0%
- Local Camera Shake Strength: 0%
- World Camera Shake Strength: 0%
- Camera Sway Strength: 0%
- Animated Camera Strength: 0%
These adjustments should significantly reduce motion sickness. Experiment with minor tweaks to find the optimal balance between immersion and comfort.
Addressing Field of View and Motion Blur
If eliminating head bobbing and camera shake isn't enough, adjust the graphics settings. Go to Settings > Graphics and locate the "Field of View" and "Motion Blur" sliders:
- Field of View: Begin with a lower field of view and gradually increase it until you find a comfortable setting. This may require some experimentation.
- Motion Blur: Reducing or completely disabling motion blur often helps alleviate motion sickness. Start at 0% and adjust as needed.
Persistent Motion Sickness?
If motion sickness persists, continue fine-tuning these settings. Consider switching between first-person and third-person perspectives as needed. If all else fails, take a break, hydrate, and try again later. Don't force yourself to play if you're feeling unwell.
