Motion sickness can really put a damper on enjoying first-person games, turning a thrilling adventure into a queasy ordeal. If you've started playing Avowed and are experiencing this, don't worry—we've got you covered. Here's how to tweak the settings to minimize that unpleasant feeling.

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 settings. Avowed is no exception. Let's tackle these settings one by one.

How to Remove Head Movement and Camera Shake

The first step is to minimize head movement and camera shake. Navigate to the "Settings" menu and select the "Game" tab. Find the "Camera" section and adjust the following:

• 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%

In most cases, these adjustments will significantly reduce motion sickness. Experiment with these settings to find the balance between immersion and comfort.

How to Adjust Field of View and Motion Blur

If eliminating head bobbing and camera shake isn't enough, head to the "Graphics" tab in the "Settings" menu. At the top, you'll find sliders for "Field of View" and "Motion Blur."

• Field of View: Start by lowering the Field of View slider. Experiment to find your optimal setting; a lower value often helps reduce motion sickness.
• Motion Blur: Turning off or significantly reducing Motion Blur can also make a big difference. Try setting it to zero and adjust as needed.

What If You're Still Feeling Motion Sick?

If you're still experiencing motion sickness, continue experimenting with the settings above. Consider switching between first-person and third-person views as needed. If all else fails, remember to take breaks, drink some water, and try again later. Don't push yourself if it's making you unwell.

And there you have it! Our recommendations for optimizing Avowed's settings to minimize motion sickness.
