Abiotic Factor Motion Sickness: Why It Happens & What Helps

Abiotic Factor is a first-person survival game set in an underground research facility. Deep Field Games lists a field of view slider and a screen shake amount among its accessibility options. In a hotfix, the studio told players to turn the camera shake setting down if they struggle with motion sickness. Steam also lists Camera Comfort for the game.

Why Abiotic Factor can trigger motion sickness

Abiotic Factor is played in first person, and large creatures and explosions shake the screen. Deep Field Games says the camera shake setting responds to both, and it points players with motion sickness to that setting. The field of view slider spans 60 to 115, so a narrow view can be widened. The sources opened do not list a head bob or motion blur toggle, so those are not claimed here.

  • Camera shake from large creatures and grenade explosions
  • Emotes that switch the view out of first person, unless you turn that off
  • Digital Space, which the 1.0 update redrew to prevent motion sickness or other odd sensations

  • Raise the field of view a few degrees at a time and test each change
  • Look at something still and far away until it passes, and try slow breathing

Frequently asked questions

Does Abiotic Factor have a motion sickness setting?

Not one with that name. Deep Field Games lists a field of view slider and a screen shake amount among its accessibility options, and Steam lists Camera Comfort. In a hotfix the team told players to turn down their camera shake settings in the accessibility menu if they struggle with motion sickness.

What is the field of view range in Abiotic Factor?

The community wiki lists a Field of View slider in the Gameplay settings, from 60 to 115. It does not give a default value.

How do I reduce screen shake in Abiotic Factor?

Open the settings and go to the Accessibility menu, then turn the camera shake value down. The developers say big creature footsteps and grenade explosions respect that value. The sources opened do not name the exact tab inside the Accessibility menu.
