Indiana Jones and the Great Circle made me motion sick until I changed these settings
Greetings, fellow nauseated traveler who just wanted to enjoy Indiana Jones and the Great Circle but couldnt manage to play for longer than an hour at a time. Youve come to the right place. I, too, couldnt deal with the strange head bob that our hero does in this first-person game. Through a combination of tweaks to the settings in the options menu, Ive managed to make the game playable for myself and probably for you, too.Is it still a bit dizzying sometimes? Yes. Do I still wish the team at MachineGames would remove the head bob entirely? Yes. Please. But until that happens, these are my suggestions for getting through this adventure.First, open the options menu, and go to the section called Video. In that section, you can start by implementing my most effective change, which unfortunately will only be available in this menu if youre playing on PC and not console. This suggestion is to increase the Field of View slider to at least 100. You can even put it up to 110 if you want; try different levels and see what works best for you.These next options are available on both console and PC. Go down to Motion Blur and set it to off (apologies to this particular artistic decision).The last setting in this section that you might consider is called Picture Framing its at the top of the list in the screenshot above. I have my entire game in Cinematic mode, which means that both gameplay and cutscenes have black bars on the top and bottom of the screen, all the time. Its supposed to make the game look like a movie. Honestly, I dont love the look of it (and I think its a corny conceit), but it does seem to be helping my nausea levels.Were still not done. Next, navigate to the Accessibility menu.You can adjust the Field of View and Motion Blur here as well, but youve already done that, right?More importantly, youre going to want to set Camera Stabilization to on, and Screen Shake to off. Lastly, try to sit further away from your screen when you play. It will help with this issue. And while youre in this menu, you can increase the size of the subtitles to accommodate an increased distance from the screen.If all else fails, and youre playing on PC, just wait for somebody to make a mod that fixes Indys penchant for bobbing his head every time he takes a single step or a mod that puts the entire game into third-person mode (its definitely possible). Until then, these band-aids are what we have.
