Animation Camera / Optimisation + Motion Sickness

Hey!

So when running around as survivor, left and right, etc the camera now moves with the movement. This does look better, however, people like me who get motion sick suffer from this a lot, it makes us feel incredibly ill. I played 5 games and I got a headache and had to stop playing for a bit due to my motion sickness. I asked others about this and people with / without motion sickness agreed that they felt ill. I have never felt like this in a game. Please make the camera fixed like it was before.

    Little update of how it went; in total i played 4 hours with my friend. After 5 games i got a headache, an hour later the headache got worst, when it hit around 3 hours i had a awful stomachache and when it hit 4 hours my headache felt as if it was throbbing and i had to stop playing and actually come off my PC to lay down in bed and try get rid of it. A lot of players have had this issue of motion sickness on the game.

    Why i think this is happening (i could be wrong):

    • poor optimisation

    I think the new maps and the game as a whole is poorly optimised. When you get in the game you get an FPS drop and due to that the game simply can't keep up with itself as if it is rendering everything as you move (in a chasing game thats bad) so as you move your mouse your screen goes blurry which a. looks ######### and b. gives people motion sickness. I tried putting my settings AND RESOLUTION down to the lowest the game let me, it was still there but the game looked crap as well.

    Devs just please fix this, this is gonna turn a lot of people away including me otherwise cause it makes us feel ill.
