If you're diving into *Avowed* and find yourself battling motion sickness, you're not alone. It's no fun feeling queasy while trying to enjoy a game, so let's explore the best settings to help you play comfortably.
The Best Settings to Reduce Motion Sickness in Avowed
In many first-person games, including *Avowed*, head movement, field of view, and motion blur can be the culprits behind your discomfort. Let's tweak these settings to keep the fun alive and the nausea at bay.
How to Remove Head Movement and Camera Shake
Start by addressing head movement and camera shake, as these adjustments often significantly reduce motion sickness. Navigate to **Settings** and select the **Game** tab. Scroll to the **Camera** section and adjust the following:
- Third-Person View: Set this to Off or On as per your preference; it won't affect motion sickness directly.
- Head Bobbing: Turn this Off.
- Head Bobbing Strength: Set to 0%.
- Local Camera Shake Strength: Adjust to 0%.
- World Camera Shake Strength: Set to 0%.
- Camera Sway Strength: Set to 0%.
- Animated Camera Strength: Adjust to 0%.
These settings should help minimize motion sickness. Feel free to experiment until you find the perfect balance that keeps you immersed without feeling unwell.
How to Fix the Field of View and Motion Blur
If head bobbing and camera shake adjustments aren't enough, head to **Settings** 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 what to do:
- Field of View: Begin by lowering this slider. Start 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: Turn this Off or reduce it significantly. Like with Field of View, start at zero and adjust as needed.
What If You’re Still Feeling Motion Sick?
If you're still experiencing motion sickness, continue adjusting the settings and try switching between first-person and third-person views as needed. If all else fails, don't force yourself to play. Take a break, hydrate, and try again later.
These are our top recommendations for reducing motion sickness in *Avowed*. Adjusting these settings should help you enjoy the game without the discomfort.
