Motion Sickness

I've recently been having a debate with someone on the forums and one thing came up that I've only heard of recently: motion sickness.

Apparently, this does affect some on the killer side and whilst there are some things which can be done by the player, the game really ought to be more accessible [sic?] when it comes to this.

Some games, such as _Metro: Exodus_ have put options in to aid with the motion sickness and maybe this would be a good thing for DBD to look into more.

I've put in a link to a page which offers some ways in which motion sickness can be dealt with. Please could you look into these possibilities. I admit I'm not a sufferer of this, but for those who are this may be a good step forward:

    I get this when playing the following killers

    spirit any time in he power

    Hi and thanks for sharing. In your opinion, what visual aspect affects you the most? Like, is it the blur? The swaying? Just so I understand, because I'm not a sufferer myself and don't fully comprehend how this works.

    The only thing that messes with me is Nurses Fatigue. I physically get a headache if I play her for an entire match.

    It's the only thing in any game that has done this to me and I don't get motion sick IRL.


    The camera being slammed to the floor + the drunk sway is really jarring and "queasy feeling" at the same time. If it was like a legion fatigue it'd be no issue.

    Yeah the legion thing I can deal with fine as well.

    I would of thought blight would of caused it for me but that seems to be alright.

    As survivor the only thing that makes me feel a bit sick is clowns bottle effect on the screen.
