Standoff 2 Motion Sickness: Why It Happens & What Helps
Standoff 2 is a first-person shooter built for phones, with short rounds and constant turning. Axlebolt's English help center documents no field of view, camera shake or head bob option. The Osiris update, Season 12, also moved the game to SO2 Remastered, which changed movement. This page covers what the developer does document and what you can change yourself.

Why Standoff 2 can trigger motion sickness
Fast first-person shooters show your eyes quick turns, strafes and stops while your inner ear feels you holding a phone still. That mismatch is what motion sickness is. The Osiris update added inertia when you stop or change direction, reworked strafing and crouching, and added bunnyhopping. Axlebolt says the core gameplay is the same, but you feel the new mechanics in your first match. The same update added a Precise Aim Response feature for Android 11 and up, which it says fixes jerky sensitivity.
- Strafing, crouching and bunnyhopping, which change the view's direction often
- Jerky touch aim: Axlebolt says Precise Aim Response fixes jerky sensitivity on Android 11 and up
- Back-to-back rounds with no break from fast turning

Comfort settings in Standoff 2
Standoff 2 ships no official comfort settings.
Axlebolt's English help center lists no field of view, camera shake, head bob or motion blur option. The documented controls are the hitmarker setting and Precise Aim Response on Android 11 and up. If the view is what triggers you, no documented setting removes it, so sessions and breaks matter more than menus.

What helps beyond the settings
- On Android 11 and up, try Precise Aim Response if your aim feels jerky. Axlebolt says it may use more battery
- Lower your touch aim sensitivity so each swipe turns the view less
- Rest between matches, and look at something still and far away at the first queasy signal

Frequently asked questions
Does Standoff 2 have a field of view or camera shake setting?
Axlebolt's English help center does not list one. The settings the Osiris update notes name are the hitmarker, Improved Character Visibility, and Precise Aim Response on Android 11 and up. If your version shows a camera option that is not documented, use it. Otherwise the fixes are habits.
Why does Standoff 2 make me feel sick?
The view turns, strafes and stops quickly on a screen held close, while your body stays still. Your eyes report movement your inner ear does not feel. The Osiris update added inertia when you stop or change direction and added bunnyhopping, so there are more ways for the view to change direction. Short sessions and breaks are the reliable fix.
What is Precise Aim Response in Standoff 2?
It is a feature in the Osiris update for Android 11 and up. Axlebolt says it makes touch controls more responsive and fixes jerky sensitivity, and that it may also increase device load and battery drain. If a jerky aim is part of what makes you queasy, it is worth trying.
