Why do I get motion sickness when playing this game in my PC?
I bought this recently but after 7 hours although I enjoyed it a lot,(despite its low 30 fps)
I had the urge to puke all over my desk..This mostly happened when I started traveling but continued even after it..

There is an option to set the game to run in 60 fps... And about your sickness, you should go see a doctor, you could be epileptic.

Oh my god..I never had problems with other games before,only this one..Yeah i made the setting to unlimited as a read to a guide but the fps is still horrible..I think its my amd card's fault and there is nothing that can be done for now.Still I dont understand why I get nausea so much in this game.Does first person makes it worse?

Another possibility could be the rather limited field of view, you can increase it a little in the options. In order to increase it a decent amount, you need to edit a file somewhere. A quick google search should help with that.

If the issue persists, please contact a doctor asap, as epilepsy could be life threatening.

Are you using the experimental branch (beta)? Reports are it works better with AMD cards. If graphics quality is what’s bothering you, that may help.

(See the first post in the thread pinned to the top of this forum. It includes instructions for enabling the beta.)

FOV Slider, use that in options.

This.
If you are subject to vertigo and have been playing in first person mode try switching to 3rd person.

Definitely NOT epilepsy. I grew up with epilepsy and know. You may be suffering from an inner ear infection and not know it, or your fps is off a bit.

Yeah... it's definitely a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ vid-card or a brain tumor. Flip a coin.

Don't take medical advice from random people you don't know on steam. Go see a real doctor about your issue if it persists.
Best advice.

Or just use google, try FOV Slider first, or switch to 3rd person.

Especially from people with 31 years in the medical field and over 16 in trauma right? Is ok, I don't know anything at all. No experience to speak of. But yes, you should get a checkup at the least.

Sure and your going to prove all that right? If that is the case then you should know better and tell them to see their doctor. Rather than going on things you 'might' know.
