UESP Forums

I recently found out why Skyrim creates headaches, it is probably a mixture of the completely wrong Field of View (intended for consoles, NOT for PC) and all the head bobbing and dynamic change of field of view / running zoom etc..

Here a few entries by people affected:
cant post a link here, simply go to
duck dot com
and then search for
skyrim headache
or
skyrim motion sickness
etc.


For special edition, I installed "Motion Sensitive Fix SE", manually changed FOV to 90 in console and added two lines to skyrimprefs.ini (directly under bmouseacceleration... which should be set to zero of course):
fMouseHeadingYScale=0.0100
fMouseHeadingXScale=0.0100
This one already existed and I simply set it to the above values:
fMouseHeadingSensitivity=0.0100

I think this information should be added to UESP immediately, preferrably in a place where EVERY READER can see it. I did not find entries for "field of view" (regarding this problem) and I did not find an entry about "motion sickness" at UESP, so I guess it is not mentioned there?

This motion sickness problem is really a problem it seems with Skyrim, Bethesda really did everything they could to make sure you are constantly feeling like you are on a boat.

Just wanted to notify you about this particular problem

The above mentioned solutions solved this problem for me

P.S.: I only found the administrator email of "Dave" and sent the above mentioned message to him, but did not receive a reply. I think it would be good if you would inform the other administrators about this strange problem, tried to find their email addresses for some minutes but was not successful.

Very interesting, thank you)

Thanks

Personally I suffer from motion sickness and I've never gotten a headache playing Skyrim.
