Motion Sickness

[Rablats]

Played the demo and I'm interested in the game, but it made me very motion sick. I made sure the FOV was on, sensitivity was low, frame rate was high and smoothing/blurring was off. However, none of that seemed to help.

Any chance we'll be able to make the game full screen (no black bars on top and bottom) and have a FOV slider in the future?

Thanks!

Hi, thanks for the comments and sorry it's making you feel queezy. I'll look into how viable an aspect ratio on / off setting will be. I will need to check the UI doesn't get messed up, as minimal as it is :)

Thank you for replying. My only guess is that the black bars are causing my motion sickness as they limit the view. I can play other games like Alien Isolation and Bioshock with no issue.

Cool, will look into it :)

Same problem here. Have a headache after two hours, but I like the setting a lot.

I'm still looking into exposing the aspect ratio to the player, not as simple as you think. The wide aspect was by design but sorry to hear it's making you feel a bit queezy!

Thank you!!

same here. played 90min and had to quite. The thing is, i never ever had this before in any game. Will refund it sadly.

I was almost beginning to think I was completely impervious to motion sickness in videogames - across hundreds of titles, various framerates, FOVs never bothered me... until ICARUS.1 that is. Got slightly sick in the very first chapter. Funny

bump on the motion sickness. Wanted to hurl in minutes, tried dx11 and dx12, dialed settings down. I have an i9/1080 (3080 was ordered in Feb, only 4800 people in front of me now!)

I requested a refund and uninstalled, I cannot play it like this.

Hi all

There was a patch made a while back that exposes FOV options to allow you to set this.

More info can be found here :)
