How do you turn off the "head motion" while moving

[Minion27]

I cant play this game, it's making me dizzy, the funky pausing and head weave while moving is driving me nuts. the game was fun for the shurt time i coudl play it. Is there any way to disable it? I was going to buy it while it's on sale, but not if i can't play it :/
My monitor isnt too big, it's only 23", i cant imagine playing on anythign larger, it'd be even worse.

I think it's a 'feature' rather than a bug.. designed to make you feel like you're really there. Still, IRL I think my eyes come with a motion damping system, cause that's not how I see the world. Would be nice if it were optional, but I don't think it is.

try to use the riptide helper !! you can found it in the sticky post of the forum !! it improve the game a lot !!

I don't know if you can specifically turn off the motion of the character but that dead island helper in the sticky notes has some way to change the field of view which might make it less disorienting for you.

I am going to pass as well can't seem to find any guns. sucks

[Doug]

Guns take a bit. First one I found was a pistol I bought from Pierre just east then north of Paradise (iirc) after a couple of quests. Guns are loud and draw attention, tho, so it's best to limit their use anyway. That's why I would probably never play Purna..

[Doug]

I think the Helper in the sticky thread might do more than just the FOV. Check the specs, but I think that this might be one of the changes. I didn't read it all that carefully. Would this count as 'motion blur'? Worth trying, in any event.

Thanks, I'll check it out,, wish they just had an option to turn it off like in most games, i dont mind the screen moving during fighting, but while my character was just walking around really got me. Couldnt even look at the screen for an hour after i started feeling a bit off, lol

I've played many games that simulated a walking motion, this is the first one that has ever came close to making me sick. Even the constant spinning in air combat games has never got to me.

[Minion27]

Tried it again with the standard game, it's more of the slight stop and go pausing of forward motion that does it, not so much the side to side. (makes me think my character is walking like a chicken)
Kinda funny how a flat image on your scrren can mess you up so much.

Im having the same problem >_< too much motion sickness from this game only...

[Doug]

Not having motion sickness or anything, but after playing for about 10 hr over the free weekend my eyes hurt the following day. They've ached all day. Can't swear it's from this game but.. I've certainly played longer hours on other things and never had this effect before.

Yes, this game made a bad mistake with this "effect". When I walk around or even run, my view doesn't flail around like my skull is a damned Bobble-Head.

I'm not sure if the developers were going for a "cinematic" feel (camera movement from filming) or a "realistic" feel (head moving around), but I am not purchasing this game just because of this silly camera setup. I almost got nauseous at times, ugh. At least give an option to turn it off...
