This game is making me sick
Any time I fly fast, or sometimes in dungeons, there is a graphical wobble/blur effect that takes over the screen, and I cant figure out how to turn it off. I'm getting headaches every time I play.

I have already turn off motion blur. Anyone know the correct setting to change?

Have you tried not playing the game?

Change the camera sensitivity?

it's a bit vague... we are not doctor here. Have you thought to ask a doctor? I mean there are medical warning for most game with sudden bright light causing, errmm.. I forgot the name, some kind of condition.. so maybe they would know?
or try tweaking visual effect, I suspect there might be a blur setting there as well..

I haven't played enough to learn to fly yet I get dizzy playing and have a headache when I stop. One of the reasons I'm progressing very slowly.

If you haven't already, turn camera shake all the way down (that disables it entirely).
There's also an option to turn off Chromatic Aberration.

Both of these are absolute trash features that should go the way of the dodo. Both are extremely common causes of issues with gamers, causing anything from nausea to migraines. Thankfully developers are being more aware of allowing them to be disabled (tho it would be simpler to just not include them in the first place).

The biggest culprit remain to be Field of View(FoV) which unfortunately is an unalterable setting as of today's build. Even without causing the player of said issue, more than a few times I've seen people complaining about the stupidly tight camera angle affecting combat efficiency.

Gah, I remember this sort of thing with Greedfall. I bought it day-one, played several hours, and when I was done felt horribly ill. I thought I was just sick... until I tried playing it again, and experienced the same thing after a little gameplay. Recognized I was getting motion sick from the game without realizing it. Found a whole community of people suffering from the same thing, all of them offering work-around suggestions, but none of them helped with me.

By the time I concluded it was going to make me motion sick, regardless, it was too late, and Steam refused my refund request.

My suggestion is to return the game now, while you still can, (Steam's return policies are pretty strict), then send in a bug report to the devs about this. If they address it in a patch, give it another shot, but otherwise, you might have to give up on it.

I turned off camera shake and Chromatic Aberration, which seemed to help.
Glad someone knew what I was talking about!

Had the headache even after turning off blur, shake and aberration. A mod from Nexus let me turn off fog and the headaches went away

my issue is the frame shake and i have followed all your seggesstions and its still happening. its something aobut the new processing or grafix something i can bearly use this forum or a search engin and watching tv does it to me alos the thing is i have never been prone to motions sickness as a matter of faact i just didnt get motion sick till the last few years ever. never puked at a amusment park ever but 30 seconds in this oor pal world or doom eturanal and i am sick crosseyed and shaking with lots of pressure in my head not a head ach litteral pressure like my brain is to big for my skull. i dont think its epilepsy not had that eigther. just wish there was a way to steady it and stop making it feel like you have on a pair of those dumb google glasses

Do you use DLSS?
What setting on it?

I'm going to think that the wobble you're seeing might be because you're using DLSS Performance as opposed to Quality.
