The Best Settings to Reduce Motion Sickness in Avowed

-----------------------------------------------------

In most first-person games, motion sickness often stems from head movement, field of view, and motion blur. *Avowed* is no exception. Let's tackle these settings one by one.

How to Remove Head Movement and Camera Shake

Disabling head movement and camera shake is often the most effective first step. Navigate to Settings, then the "Game" tab. Locate the "Camera" section and adjust these options:

  • Third-Person View: On or Off (your preference).
  • Head Bobbing: Off
  • Head Bobbing Strength: 0%
  • Local Camera Shake Strength: 0%
  • World Camera Shake Strength: 0%
  • Camera Sway Strength: 0%
  • Animated Camera Strength: 0%

These adjustments should significantly reduce motion sickness for most players. Experiment with slight adjustments to find the optimal balance between immersion and comfort.

How to Fix the Field of View and Motion Blur

If eliminating head bobbing and camera shake isn't enough, head to the "Graphics" tab in Settings. You'll find "Field of View" and "Motion Blur" sliders near the top. Try these:

  • Field of View: Start with a lower Field of View and gradually increase it until you find a comfortable setting. This might take some experimentation.
  • Motion Blur: Reducing or completely disabling Motion Blur often helps alleviate motion sickness. Start at zero and adjust as needed.

What If You’re Still Feeling Motion Sick?

If motion sickness persists, continue experimenting with the settings mentioned above. Consider switching between first-person and third-person view as needed. If all else fails, remember to take breaks, drink water, and try again later. Pushing through extreme discomfort isn't worth it.

These settings should help you enjoy *Avowed* without the nausea. Happy gaming!
