Avowed: Minimize Motion Sickness with These Settings

Motion sickness can quickly turn a fun gaming experience into a nauseating ordeal. If you're playing Avowed and feeling queasy, don't worry—we've got you covered. This guide outlines the best settings to minimize motion sickness and keep you in the game.

In most first-person games, head movement, field of view, and motion blur are the usual culprits. Avowed is no exception.

Minimizing Head Movement and Camera Shake

Let's tackle head movement and camera shake first. These often significantly impact motion sickness. Navigate to the "Game" tab in the Settings menu, then find the "Camera" section. Adjust the following settings:

• 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%

These adjustments should significantly reduce motion sickness. Experiment to find the optimal balance between immersion and comfort.

Adjusting Field of View and Motion Blur

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

• Field of View: Start with a lower Field of View and gradually increase it until you find a comfortable level. This may require some experimentation.
• Motion Blur: Reducing or completely disabling Motion Blur often helps alleviate motion sickness. Try setting it to zero and adjust as needed.

Persistent Motion Sickness?

If you're still experiencing motion sickness, continue tweaking the above settings. Consider switching between first-person and third-person view as needed. If all else fails, don't force it. Take a break, hydrate, and try again later.

These settings should help you enjoy Avowed without the unpleasant side effects of motion sickness.
