Why Tom Clancy's The Division 2 can trigger motion sickness
The camera sits behind your shoulder and swings every time you break cover, sprint or turn to a new target. Before the slider arrived, PC Gamer wrote that some people get headaches or motion sickness if the FoV is too narrow, and that the game set FoV from your resolution and aspect ratio. The sources opened list the slider for PC only.

Comfort settings in Tom Clancy's The Division 2
Tom Clancy's The Division 2 ships some comfort settings, but not a full set.
The sources opened list no motion blur, camera shake or head bob option. The Field of View slider is listed for PC only, and no source opened names the menu that holds it.
| Setting | Where | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Field of View (PC) | In-game settings | Raise it a few degrees at a time and keep the value that feels calmer. |
| Depth of Field (PC) | In-game settings | Off, so distant areas stay sharp. PC Gamer found it had very little effect on performance. |
| Chromatic Aberration (PC) | In-game settings | Off. PC Gamer found it had very little effect on performance. |
