Comfort settings in Gears of War: E-Day
Gears of War: E-Day ships some comfort settings, but not a full set.
The Coalition's accessibility page lists camera shake sliders but no motion blur toggle or field of view slider. PCGamingWiki lists an in-game field of view range for the PC version.
| Setting | Where | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Campaign Camera Shake | Settings > Accessibility > Camera | Lower it or turn it down to the minimum |
| Horde Siege Camera Shake | Settings > Accessibility > Camera | Lower it or turn it down to the minimum |
| Field of view (PC) | Settings on PC (PCGamingWiki does not name the menu) | Raise it a few steps and stop where the view feels steady |
One guide explains these settings for every game: how field of view, motion blur, head bob and camera shake trigger motion sickness.

What helps beyond the settings
- Lower camera shake first, then play a short session to test it
- Sit further back so the screen fills less of your view
- Stop at the first queasy signal and rest before you continue
The fixes people reach for once they step away from the screen are covered separately, with the trials attached: the remedy verdicts.
