Motion sickness and SRV

[ScareCrow]

I have turned on the stabilze view on and those other options to help with motion sickness, but i still get really sick After driving around for a few minutes, can we please get the option to make the SRV frames stable aswell it is still a problem the SRV wobbling about is enough to make me sick, I am sure others suffer greatly from this too, more options for motion sickness should be implemented since alot of the games content revolves around using the SRV

Some tips for VR SRV that helped me:

1. Look where you want to go or towards the horizon, not at the ground right in front of you.

2. Adjust the center point height by moving your head up or down and recentering. Raising the center by looking down and centering helped me (default center in SRV is lower than in the ship).

3. Use the jump thrusters a lot. Flying the SRV gives a much smoother ride.

4. When you eventually hit a rock and take a tumble, don't look at the ground. Either look at the horizon to get your bearings or stare at the scanner to get a stable anchor (need to turn view stabilization off for this)...or close your eyes.
4b. Some people (like me (and you, it seems)) have more problems with the view stablilizer on than off. Turning it off will make the frame stable, giving you a solid world anchor to focus on, as mentioned above.

5. Drive slower until you get used to the SRV. Turning Drive Assist off will help with that, since it gives you direct control of the throttle.

6. Don't force it. Stop and take a short break when you start getting queazy. Use the time to reassert that the floor is solid and make minor adjustments to the HMD (IPD, straps, etc), before diving in again.


Following those steps helped me slowly get used to the SRV.
Now I'm doing Evel Knievel type stunts in canyons without hardly any motion sickness. :D

Good tips, they arent helping though, and I dont even use VR :) but hopefully it can help others

Try moving further away from your screen, raising or lowering your seat, turning the lights on (or off) and opening a window.
There is also a FOV slider in the game's options, that can help mitigate the issue.
If the game's FOV is too far off from the IRL FOV your screen covers (either wider or narrower), the brain complains and can make you sick, as well (which is why many console games have a narrow FOV; TV is further away, covering less of your vision).

simply not helping, I tried adjusting FOV aswell I think its the wobbling SRV that makes it worse, even if terrain is not wobbling the SRV wobbles crazy aswell I must simply creep around in very slow speed things take alot longer than they should have, but thanks for trying but I think there has to be some changes in the engine of the game

There's a few tips in this thread:

ED also has a dedicated VR hub somewhere(can't find it rn; just search the net)


cheers

Have you tried turning the stabilizer off? Then the camera should follow the SRV, not the horizon.
(that setting is for VR comfort, which initially led me to believe you were playing inn VR, btw)

I honestly dont know which is best stab on or off, simply avoiding to use the srv for the most part, which is sad really
