Shaking cam in dialogue
Is there a way to turn off the camera shaking in dialogues? Drives me insane.

There is. Just go to 'Settings > System settings > Camera shake'

Man, I wish people would have some knowledge of what they are talking about.
No, you can turn off camera shake for everything BESIDES dialogue/cutscenes.

There is no need to be rude. Since I unchecked this option, all shaking effects ceased on my game, I just didn't realize this "cutscene shaking" you're mentioning didn't. I don't see any shaking in the cutscenes in my game.

My apologies. I just got frustrated because of the amount of misinformation I've been having to correct all day, lol.
But yeah, calling it "camera shake" is a weird choice, since it's basically just camera sway. And "cutscene" isn't quite right either, it's during stationary dialogue. If you look at the edge of the screen you can usually tell when it's swaying, and when it does that, the aliasing can get a bit... much.

No problem!

I hadn't noticed it before, but now that you showed me, this swaying effect really is bothersome. lol

I don't know if there's a way to remove it, but if I had to guess, I think there isn't right now. :/

At least it's not as bad as Outriders. I don't know why games do it. It doesn't make me feel like I'm watching a TV show, it just makes me aware I'm playing a game that wants to pretend it's being filmed by a handheld camera. Like the new God of War, it just annoys the hell out of me.

It's weird as I really wasn't noticing it until I participated in this discussion. It really is very annoying.

This is driving me insane too, to the point that I start focusing on the subtitles instead of the screen. Changing the "Camera shake" in the settings does nothing.

Came on here to realize I'm not the only one. The camera sway is unbearable for me. The camera shake setting does remove it during gameplay and talking to random NPCs, but the voiced segments/scenes continue to have the godawful motion. Makes me distracted and nauseated. It's like playing the game drunk. Really hoping this gets modded or it can be turned off in the final game.

Is this changed or is there an option to turn it off in the full game? It's bothering me too much in the demo for me to consider getting the full game sadly :/
Aoitenshi Oct 11, 2024 @ 6:27am 
No idea... no one seems to be talking about it. (I haven't purchased the game either.)

I have the full version and confirmed that it is still present. It is exactly like the demo. It's an awful design decision. Unfortunately, it makes me too nauseated to play so I will be refunding. I am hoping a mod or patch fixes it in the future. Seems like a simple setting you could toggle off if enough people cared.

Thank you for the answer. I'll hold off on buying it myself than, it made me very nauseated as well :(

The newest build of MetaphorFix [github.com] has a .ini setting for "Disable Camera Sway" which fixes this!
