<![CDATA[Seasickness]]>

I downloaded this game today after anticipating (mildly) it's release for over sixth months only to find I am induced with an excellent amount of motion sickness from just running around, let alone using the spyglass on a moving vessel.

Is there any way to accommodate the bobbing of the camera and lack of vision due to confined FoV?
When I first logged on I thought I may transition over to this game for my free time as it looked like a great, relaxing adventure but I quickly changed my mind when I turned nauseous.

Does anyone else get seasick?
I really wouldn't want to pop a Dramamine every time before I logged on this game, thus this "lack of" a feature (third person view) is almost definitely a deal breaker for me.

@seedy-platypus yeah, personally I've never been affected by it, but some are just really sensitive to this sort of thing.

You can increase FOV in options.

If that doesn't' work, try sitting further back from your monitor.

@zep-darkwater

Interesting, I thought it was just a VR thing. I guess you learn something new every day.

@frosenborg
Very interesting indeed. I'll have to take a look at this.

Thank you for the responses.
I did crank up the FoV to max at 90.
I'll give it another try tomorrow and see how I do then, I was feeling a bit groggy today because of the weather so perhaps that was a factor.

Happy Sailing mateys!

@seedy-platypus Many people do get motion sickness from gaming. My wife tends to get motion sickness after playing a new game for the first time, so no its not a joke or a troll post.

I had the same reaction first, but my body got used to it. My brother also said he felt a bit dizzy, but got over it too.

@turkeyboytellem My girlfriend got some motion sickness too. We opened out the FOV to 85 in the settings. Not more troubles. Give it a shot

I know what you mean. I did get that seasick feeling after the first beta I played but, since release, it's been fine.

@turkeyboytellem

I think you may be alone in this one. Is this a joke post?
