    Okay I have a confession to make…

    I haven’t finished a Doom since Doom 3 (2004).

    I have loved every minute of Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal, but I haven’t finished either of them.

    I get too motion sick to play video games like that anymore.

    Even Titanfall I have to take a break between levels.

    I’ll finish them someday, I promise…

      That sucks! I don’t get any motion sickness, so no personal recommendations, but have you tried some of the common tricks (like increasing FoV, disabling motion blur)?

          I have noticed that I get less motion sick in some games on my new 240hz screen, but unfortunately I still get it.

          That said, I’m unsure what my actual fps is in Doom/E but I’d wager somewhere around 100.

        Checking FOV and disabling motion blur, chromatic abberation, and DoF are my first things before I even start a new game.

        I just assume it’s because I’m getting older, and I’m not sitting in a proper chair most of the time.

          Bummer. Best of luck, hopefully it will get better again!

      As someone else said, try turning up FOV. Last night I decided to try Doom Eternal for the first time. (I played the new Doom but didn’t finish it.) The default FOV is 90, and motion blur is on. In a game mostly involving corridors and fast movement, 90 is stupidly low. It’s set up for people playing on a TV 6+ feet away, not a comouter monitor much closer. These two settings may be your issue.

      Mee too, I was motion sick of the original Mirror’s Edge and of Mullet MadJack.
