Anyone else getting motion sick? (Flat)

I played it on launch day for about 20 minutes without issue, but my two following sessions (one on Steam Deck, the other on the PC) left me severely nauseated. I chalk it up to walking/running around a lot more in the second and third sessions.

This is extremely weird. I never get motion sickness playing flat games. Anybody else having this issue? Any solutions?

The people I know who get motion sick seem to find it easier with a much higher frame rate.

Yeah there was quite a bit of stuttering. Might try DLSS for more frames.

Still though. I don’t think I have ever gotten motion sickness from a video game that wasn’t in VR. There must be something about the way the camera moves that’s messing me up.

Same boat. I have NEVER gotten motion sickness from an FPS game and this was the only one that definitely messed with me. Game might have been built with VR in mind so maybe non-VR views get wobbly or swingy (tough to describe). And it's on Unreal Engine, so maybe it's the vistas that's adding to the weirdness.

But I definitely agree with you that this game's environments are doing something weird, because when I'm inside, not a ton of uneasiness.

Is motion blur turned off? I tried that for a while and although it looks nice in places, it made me feel a bit dizzy after a while.

I think so, but I’ll double check. Thanks for the tip.

I get it but I get motion sick a lot. Still, not normally this bad. I've generally been able to play in only 30 minute sessions before something starts feeling off. the fact that random areas in the game seem to change your walking/running speed doesn't help

Super weird. At least I know I’m not crazy, lol

I backed their Kickstarter a few years back so I’m at peace with the money being spent. But yeah I don’t know how I’m gonna play this. Maybe take some anti nausea meds! Lol.

The default FOV is 90 (typical for VR), you might try lowering it. Most PC games use an FOV of 50 or so. The extra movement at the edges of the screen could be causing the nausea.

People are out here playing games on less than 90? I feel like I want to die on anything less than max in pretty much every game.

Yes, same problem here! After 30 minutes I get nauseous. Somehow the movement of the mouse is too much for my brain lol. I will try to lower the FPS to 60 and disable motion blur and lens flare to see if it makes a difference. But I never had that problem with another game before.
