Why Dune: Awakening can trigger motion sickness
The game keeps a third-person camera on you through desert travel and combat. Funcom lets PC players switch off screenshake and motion blur and change the field of view, which removes the camera effects most likely to add motion to the picture.
- Screenshake, which Funcom lets you switch off
- Motion blur, which Funcom lets you switch off
- A field of view you may need to widen
