Why Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced can trigger motion sickness
Naval combat adds impacts and ship movement on top of normal camera motion. A July 2026 Space4Games guide says the game simulates attack impacts and the rocking of the ship, and it advises turning off both Screen Shake and Ship Camera Sway if you are sensitive to camera movement. Ubisoft also added a camera dot, a fixed point in the center of the screen, to help with motion sickness.
- Screen shake from attacks and impacts in combat
- Ship camera sway while sailing
- Motion blur and camera effects during fast turns

Comfort settings in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced
Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced ships a full set of comfort settings.
Ubisoft lists the field of view angle as a PC option, so console players have no field of view setting.
| Setting | Where | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility presets | Options > Accessibility presets | Start here. The menu groups related accessibility settings, and one preset group is named Motion & Camera. |
| Motion Blur | In-game settings | Off. Space4Games says players prone to motion sickness should turn it off from the start. |
| Screen Shake | In-game settings | Off. This is the first toggle to change. |
| Camera Effects | In-game settings | Off. It reduces distortion and uncontrolled camera movement. |
| Camera Dot | In-game settings | On. A fixed dot gives your eyes one still point. You can change its size and color. |
| Ship Camera Sway | In-game settings | Off. Space4Games says this keeps the camera steadier when the cannons fire. Ubisoft says the original game's naval camera sway is removed by default, so check the toggle before you sail. |
| Field of View (PC) | In-game settings | Raise it in small steps and stop where the view feels natural. |
One guide explains these settings for every game: how field of view, motion blur, head bob and camera shake trigger motion sickness.
