If I feel nauseated during a game, I look for some way to increase the field of view. That always does the trick for me.


Several years ago, I ran into the exact same nausea with the Source engine as the GP, but when I increased the FOV the problem went away.

I've run into nausea with other games that have a narrow FOV. Increasing the FOV (when possible) usually fixes the problem.

As far as I understand, the late Total Biscuit was similar. He frequently advocated for FOV sliders in games. I greatly appreciate his help making FOV sliders more popular.


Teared up a bit reading that last paragraph; I'll never forget his dogged insistence on checking for FOV sliders in options menus.


I've attempted this with Skyrim. Still no dice.
