My God, the motion sickness in this game is brutal.
I have the unfortunate circumstances of sometimes being prone to motion sickness in video games.

There's very few games I just can't play but when it happens it sucks. Usually the regular tricks like increasing field of view work just fine and I don't experience much problems.

I unfortunately just couldn't do it with green hell, and that really sucks I don't know if it's because of the head Bob when turning the camera or what but it probably took me less than five minutes to start feeling sick.

I don't know why I'm making this post I guess just to vent because it sucks physically not being able to play a game you were looking forward to and to warn other users who may also be prone to motion sickness.

i have the same problem in games and i hope more developers of games make some options for us , like weaponbob off or headbob off and a better field of view :)
Have you tried changing some things in the Options Menu?
Options / Controls / Camera Smoothing On / Off
Options / Graphics / VSYNC On / Off
Options / Graphics / Anti Aliasing On / Off

Headbob is one of the options who are being looked at implementing in the next updates. Keep an eye out on the game because that will surely help with motion sickness.

Thanks for the tips, it's not an aliasing issue though and it's not a frame rate or frame timing issue either with vsync, I use g-sync so my monitor's refresh rate is automatically adjusted based on the FPS.

I think it's the weird head Bob when turning your camera coupled with some other things
You're welcome. :)

Head Bobbing might be optional soon.

What about Third person? My Wife gets sick from all games, but if it has Third person, Than She has ease of playing, Maybe along with disabling Head bobbing, maybe implement this? Just an idea.

I don't normally suffer from this but half the time whenever I turn quickly my head spins out for a second or two before I can remember what I was doing lol.

Yeah I just stopped playing after about 20 minutes because I felt sick. Really a shame. :(

There is another thing you can try. Put your screen resolution one step lower than max.

I normally use 2560x1440, but set the in-game graphic settings to 1920x1080 for GH and it significantly lessens the "fish eye" effect that seems to make quite a few people feel ill.

If nothing else, you may want to give it a try and see if it makes any difference.


Edit: clarification of display settings

I find if I play for 10 minutes a day, for a few days, I adjust to it. Then I can play for a couple hours, before motion sickness starts to get slightly noticeable.

I need a wider FOV - when possible, I set most of my games to 100

I have a 2560x1440 resolution monitor, and the game is unplayable for me because of the low FOV. Just like looking through a telescope or something.
There should be a fix to be able to increase the FOV to 100, until then i am not able to play the game.
I dont feel like going down to 1920x1080, there's a reason why i upgraded my computer.

Perhaps I should have been more clear in my statement (I'll correct it) - don't lower your monitor res, lower the game display res in the graphic settings. It alters the display format to significantly reduce the fish-eye effect. Increasing the FOV, due to the display warping method currently used will only make the effect worse.

Alternatively, do nothing and wait.

That has happened to me a few times over the years , it does suck i agree, both times it was driving games though.

need higher fov and option to turn off blur.

I said this in another post similar to this one. I had similar problems when I first started playing. You actually need to lower the 'FOV' to get rid of the "fish eye" problem and generally 'Camera Smoothing' is to blame for the "motion blur". I also had great results changing it to 'Exclusive Fullscreen' at 144hz.

TLDR; Set 'FOV' to 70, Set 'Camera Smoothing' to 15~25%, *if possible 'Fullscreen Exclusive' highest refresh rate available.
