A friend of mine is having issues with motion sickness while playing this game. Anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with this? Is there any settings they can adjust in game to reduce symptoms? I've heard adjusting FOV can help, which we'll try.

I suffer from motion sickness but not while playing games. Conditioning is probably the only solution. a different screen size might help. Ginger might help, tea from the root or supplements in a pill. Also no fatty foods, they are not very good on your stomach.

What platform does he play on?

Thats unfortunate. Keep playing and take breaks, you'll get used to it.

Thanks. They play on PC.

Stop playing ASAP and consult a doctor. Read the warnings on the game.

I have no such problems with Siege, but suffered it a few weeks ago with Dishonored 2 on PC. It was a, say, 4th such happening in mine 20+ years gaming history, so it is usually rare, but happens.

General explanation is complex and deeply subjective, connected with the general condition of eyes and sight, as well as game design and engine. Also the position during gaming, distance from the screen, and many other factors can contribute. My other such situation was with the (latest) Thief - I have this game on PC and PS3 too, on PC sickness starts sometimes, only during the long gaming sessions, say 1 hour or more. On PS3 it happens always, after 10-15 minutes. I'm PC gaming with the monitor 50cm from the head, and PS3 gaming with the TV that is ~4m away.

Your friend can try to change his usual gaming position, FOV change can also be tried, but I'm afraid that at the end he will have to find another game to play...
