The Best Settings to Reduce Motion Sickness in Avowed

In first-person games, the usual culprits behind motion sickness are head movement settings, field of view, and motion blur. *Avowed* is no exception. Let's walk through the settings adjustments that can help you enjoy the game without the discomfort.

Starting with head movement and camera shake, these adjustments can often be the key to eliminating motion sickness. Head over to the **Settings** menu and select the **"Game"** tab. Scroll down to the **"Camera"** section and adjust the following settings:

  • **Third-Person View:** Set to "Off" or "On" as per your preference. This setting doesn't impact motion sickness directly.
  • **Head Bobbing:** Turn "Off"
  • **Head Bobbing Strength:** Set to 0%
  • **Local Camera Shake Strength:** Set to 0%
  • **World Camera Shake Strength:** Set to 0%
  • **Camera Sway Strength:** Set to 0%
  • **Animated Camera Strength:** Set to 0%

Adjusting these settings should significantly reduce, if not eliminate, your motion sickness while playing *Avowed*. Feel free to tweak them further to find the perfect balance of immersion and comfort.

How to Fix the Field of View and Motion Blur

If disabling head bobbing and camera shake doesn't do the trick, navigate to the **Settings** menu and click on the **"Graphics"** tab. At the top, under "Basic Settings," you'll find sliders for **"Field of View"** and **"Motion Blur."** Here's how to adjust them:

  • **Field of View:** Start by lowering the "Field of View" slider. Begin with a lower setting and gradually increase it until you find a comfortable level. It might take a few attempts to get it right.
  • **Motion Blur:** Turning off "Motion Blur" or reducing it to the minimum can significantly help with motion sickness. Adjust this setting to zero and then tweak as needed.

What If You’re Still Feeling Motion Sick?

If you're still feeling unwell after adjusting these settings, continue experimenting with them. You might also try switching between first-person and third-person views to see if it helps. If all else fails, don't force yourself to play through the discomfort. Take a break, hydrate, and come back to the game later when you feel better.

These are our top recommendations for settings to reduce motion sickness in *Avowed*. Enjoy your gaming experience without the nausea!
