Scorn causing motion sickness

inflames · 2026-03-07T14:59:06+0000

I purchased Scorn in the steam sale at Christmas, I never got round to playing it when it came out. I finally installed it today, straight away I noticed it was making feel off. Iv turned off motion blur and changed a few other graphic setting but not luck. The motion of the game just makes me feel sick. Anyone else had this? Or know of any setting I could try next time I try to give it a go? I didn’t even get to any of the disturbing parts of the game.

I use to suffer from travel sickness a kid but not as an adult. I have only experienced motion sickness from a one other game in the past and that was the 3rd Dishonoured game.

try a different size monitor / TV.

smaller screens give me less motion sickness but it probably varies from person to person.

I’m sure I read somewhere that changing FOV can also impact this, but I’m not sure which way to what.

I get this really bad in Doom and Half Life 2. I was using an ultra wide monitor at the time and I haven’t tried them since changing monitor but nothing I tried helped at the time.

People say stick with it however no game is worth that feeling for me.

I was fine with Doom eternal, but will admit that after long sessions my eyes needed a rest, haven’t got round to trying dark ages yet. I totally agree no game is worth feeling like that.

Was reading that earlier, will try that next time.

I think Half Life 2 gave motion sickness to people as you "glide" rather than walk

I've not played this game but I've had this in the past, my PC is a potato and recently I tried playing RAGE via Geforce Now and only played for a bit before started feeling a bit off so didn't have a long session and went back to Battlefield V instead.

Me too, apparently I barfed on busses when we went for days out, reading when traveling for some reason made it worse.

Yes increasing the FOV is supposed to help, also only having a short gaming session, I've read of people taking anti travel sickness meds but thats not something I would do some games are just bad for this.
