What's causing you your Motion Sickness? The FOV?

Its my wife she says the way the camera moves causes it. I would love a way to fix it so we can play together. We played dead island together and she really enjoyed it. When she tried playing through the intro she said it made her feel sick. She can not watch home video type movies because of the shaking in them. Any recommendations would be great. thanks

This game gives me motion sickness too, I don't know why. I play a lot of first person games.

I am hoping someone with the same issue has a fix ,like some settings or knows of a mod that disables the camera shake in it.

Well, sorry to disappoint, but the camera shake isn't able to be disabled. It's just part of the game. May not be a game for her cause 100% of this game is Camera shake with its Parkour.

disable motion blur, chromatic aberration, increase FOV to max. Make sure your framerate is 60 and frametime is 16.7ms. Sit further from the screen. Have good lighting in your room. If nothing works then you can't play the game sorry.

There's mention of a mod in this thread, I've not used it.

i don't get motion sickness but my eyes are getting sore fast from the motion blur that occurs when you run fast.
the whole image just gets blurry and it's annoying because the game itself looks very nice and most of the traversing is done by foot. that's one of the main game loops.

chromatic aberration, motion blur are turned off, fov 90 'cause is use a 16:9 screen and my frames are well above 150 fps before anybody might ask. i sit almost 90 cm away from my screen.

it's a horrible game design choice because "muh, you are running so everything has to be blurry because speed".

Guys, you've got to try the postprocess 1975 in the game options, it almost remove the "moving blur"

I agree and glad that I'm not the only one. I immediately noticed this when I starting play (just the other day), and I think there's a few things doing it:

The perspective 1st POV of the player is too "zoomed in", so it seems everyone is always "in your face"

The sensitivity of the mouse is crazy, a slight twitch causes movement (this can be adjusted in options, but still never seen 1st person shooters this coo-coo

There's a constant "rocking" realism aspect as if what you're seeing as a player is as if it's being filmed by a hand held camera on the street. I think this alone is causing big motion sickness issues. Again, I've never seen this degree of injected "realism" in a POV persepective before in a game, and it is a bit maddening.

There's a slightly hot sweltering heat aura in the city, like it's 100 degrees outside, making it seems that you're hot and ill. I dunno if it's just because there's fires burning everywhere, but I've yet to see a "clear" picture of the cityscape. There's always an annoying haze.

The combination of these to me, plus I'm using a very large monitor that should be a couple feet back, seems to be giving me such ill sensations.
