So I decided to play Fall Out 4 on PC and now I had a bad head ache. I really can't stand playing FPS at all, even though I tried playing Fall Out in 3rd person. My motion sickness still there but not that much...Anyone know a remedy for motion sickness? I really want to play Fall Out 4...

Turn motion blur off. Make sure the room is very well lit. Try to adjust your distance to the screen, both closer and further away. Have as high fps in the game as possible. Make sure your screen has a fast response time and has no ghosting or smearing. Make sure to drink water while playing. Eating ginger can helpt combat the motion sickness as well.

Good luck!

Try figuring out how to set your FPS to 30. That helps sometimes. I have the same problems with Skyrim sometimes when I look at the water. Makes me kinda sickly feeling. Fallout games are kinda high paced. It's something you really can't avoid. Your in game field of view (FOV) tends to affect it too. Unfortunately I have no idea how to change these yet!

Honestly every time I play Fallout (any of them) I get queasy. I decided not to put money into Fallout 4 this time around and safe myself the hassle. However it's built just makes me feel weird. Can't explain it.
