Conquer Motion Sickness in Avowed: A Guide to Optimal Settings

Many gamers experience motion sickness while playing first-person games. If Avowed is leaving you feeling queasy, these settings can help.

Recommended Settings to Minimize Motion Sickness in Avowed

The primary culprits of motion sickness in first-person games, including Avowed, are head movement options, field of view, and motion blur.

Reducing Head Movement and Camera Shake

Avowed Settings Menu: Camera Options

To alleviate motion sickness, adjust the following camera settings (found under "Settings" > "Game" > "Camera"):

  • Third-Person View: Your preference; this setting doesn't significantly impact motion sickness.
  • 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. Experiment with slight increases for optimal immersion while maintaining comfort.

Adjusting Field of View and Motion Blur

Avowed Settings Menu: Graphics Options

If eliminating head bobbing and camera shake isn't sufficient, further refine the following graphics settings (found under "Settings" > "Graphics"):

  • Field of View: Start with a lower setting and gradually increase until you find the most comfortable level. This may require several attempts.
  • Motion Blur: Reducing or disabling motion blur often helps alleviate motion sickness. Begin at 0% and adjust as needed.

Persistent Motion Sickness?

If motion sickness persists, continue experimenting with the above settings. Consider switching between first-person and third-person perspectives as needed. However, if discomfort remains overwhelming, prioritize your well-being. Take breaks, hydrate, and resume gameplay later.
