Yeah same here. First game i have ever gotten motion sickness from due to the way this game is rendered.

I should not have to resort to such extensive measures when it shoule have been adjustable by default. Hell even planetside 2 understood that.

Are you serious? You're saying you're too lazy to put in a single start option for the game and then type one console command to have a good FoV?
You might be on the wrong platform, then.

The ONLY things you need to do to set your FoV are:
1: Right-click the game in Steam and hit Properties
2: Click Set Launch Options and paste "+com_allowConsole 1" into the box.
3: Once in-game, hit ~ and type "g_fov ##" where ## is your desired FoV. I set mine to 100.

That's it. Many games have been that way for decades. Half-Life/Quake/UT series etc, all required a console command to change the FoV from the default.

I know, and ive been doing it for a lot of games, mass effect 3, half-life etc. But its lazy from their side. And usually when the player actually have to hack the game to get it to function, its bad. and/or intended for consoles e.g. mass effect acted really strange after you changed the FoV, the aim was off, and the mouse sensitivity was suddenly extreamly low, so trying to do this manually is usually not worth it

Add this in the game's launch options on Steam:
+set com_skipIntroVideo 1 +cvaradd g_fov 25 +set m_rawinput 1 +set m_smooth 0
Adjust the FOV setting to your desired value. I believe the default is 80 so this gives me 105 by adding 25. Unfortunately this does not work for multiplayer so you're out of luck for coop. And if I remember right, enabling the console disables achievements so I'd recommend doing it this way.

Just add

+g_fov 90

to your launch options. Don't enable the console unless you want to have your achievements blocked.

You're going to see people suggesting the command "cvaradd g_fov 25" or something similar. This is because the game launched with a locked FOV, but a bug that let you change locked variables with the cvaradd command. They soon patched it to unlock fov and block the cvaradd command.

[id.dav81]

in oder to change FOV in multiplayer:
1) go to rage/mp/base folder.
2)create a cfg file with any name you want.
3)put g_fov 100 or any other usefull comman there, save.
4)open default.cfg, go to bottom and under exec joystick.cfg put following:
exec (your created cfg file).
Done!

I didn't know they unlocked g_fov, but cvaradd still works.

I came here to complain about video issues just at the game start.

So, what is FoV ? Is this about the continuous rendering that made me sick of watching?

Could you please explain what is exactly each configuration you had recommended?
+set com_skipIntroVideo 1 (OK, this is obvious, skips the intro)
+cvaradd g_fov 25
+set m_rawinput 1
+set m_smooth 0

FOV is a measure of how large of an area you can see on the screen. Essentially, a low FOV zooms in, and a high FOV zooms out. Here is a comparison of FOV settings from the game Deadfall Adventures: Pic[abload.de]. Since the rise in popularity of FPS games on consoles, most developers have started using lower FOV values in games (65 degrees is common) due to the increased distance between the player and the screen on consoles. Prior to this, most games used 90 degrees. Such a low FOV feels unnatural to many people when sitting close to a monitor and can cause motion sickness.

+cvaradd g_fov 25 - This increases the game's FOV by 25 degrees. I have just learned from Maxwell Adams here that you can replace this with "+g_fov xx" to set the FOV value directly now (it was not possible to do this at release.)
+set m_rawinput 1 - This tells the game to use raw mouse input, which bypasses the Windows mouse settings in order to increase the accuracy of mouse movement.
+set m_smooth 0 - This disables mouse smoothing, which also increases the accuracy of mouse movement.

The mouse settings may not be necessary but they won't hurt anything.

It didn't block my achievements. I played for all of 10 minutes with the default FOV before I looked up the fix, and played with an unlocked console + higher FOV for the entire game. I never had any trouble getting achievements.
