PLEASE tell me there's a fix for this motion sickness

[8bit]

I bought this game on sale for me and a friend of mine and after about an hour I'm getting a headache. I tried turning off motion blur and the chromatic aberration, even put the HeadbobFactor to 0 in the default_levels.xml which didnt really do much if at all.

Any suggestions???

It's a first person game based on Parkour. It's going to be a little overwhealming at first.

[Poppi !!]

Sorry man, it's one of those games.

Never had a problem with it. I don't get sick from video games. Maybe try Yatzee?

I laft. My palms sweat pretty bad but can't say I've ever gotten motion sickness from a video game. Most motion sickness comes from a conflict between what the brain is expecting to see and what the eyes are seeing. Maybe its just a perception issue and OP needs to keep reminding their brain they're playing a game on a screen and not actually moving around. But nobody knows the exact cause of motion sickness.

I know it's not really helpful, but you might be surprised at how many players suffer from motion sickness and headaches. Look back through the forum and you'll see. Truly unfortunate, but still " one of those things ".

Try disabling Motion Blur from Video settings, also Chromatic Aberration. Disable Film Grain as well. Go to Game options and increase FoV all the way up.

Also when you max out Agility and Power your character won't get tired anymore on Normal / Hard difficulty which may help.

try uh..tuning the FOV up ?

Turning the fov all the way up has made it slightly more bareable, i can go for about 2 hours but no longer. Its worse when the dude runs out of stamina (which is almost all the time) and he shakes his head in all directions for as long as possible almost trying to get me sick on purpose

Try enabling V-sync and testing with motion blur on or off and use the preffered one.

Had the same issue here. Got terrible motion sickness because the input was 1/2 to 1 second ahead of the visual feedback, continuously.

Had all the (unnecessary) effect settings off too.

Thanks!

Got use to having this feature disabled in a bunch of other games, after having issues with it and people recommending to have it off (which is default for DL).

Got incredibly motion sick and had to take a break - just quickly jumping back into the game, having enabled V-Sync appears to have fixed the delay and everything runs butter-smooth now. (Before I changed this setting - V-Sync being set to "Off" - it was like as if you were getting several FPS with smoothing between the low amount of frames.)

And to think, people wanted VR

I would not suggest Prey. Space walk and gravity loss would do you in. Motion sickness pills.

You shouldn't post such comments. Especially on another game's forum.
