I just tried Hawken today and, with the default settings, the game gave me motion sickness!  Luckily I know what causes this and was able to fix it for myself.

I highly suggest the game use 90 FOV by default because it is least likely to give people motion sickness.  Not everyone who tries Hawken is going to know what is giving them motion sickness, so they won't know how to fix it themselves.  If not fixed, this problem will turn away many newcomers to the game--and that will not be good.

A good explanation of FOV and what level of it causes motion sickness...


This is a very common problem in FPS games.

BTW: To further reduce motion sickness, I also suggest...
- set camera shake to lowest
- set cockpit lag to lowest

There is a way to override the FOV, but its not the greatest from what I hear (checkout the SLI/multi-monitor threads about this http://community.pla...finity-support/)

I'm just about legally blind without glasses, so I have an effective FoV of like, 75 degrees, so I don't really get motion sickness from games.
However! during the early builds of the game, I did get a headache while playing, but only after an hour or so. I don't have that issue during the later builds, once they added the camera shake options. I think the default should be low and lowest, my buddy, who doesn't wear glasses, couldn't play one round without starting to get a migraine.

I do wish the default settings were set lower. Not a big deal, but it seems like quite a few people (including myself) are affected negatively by this.

I just checked the game settings. Default FOV is 70, but you can make it go all the way to 90, you know.

Then try that INI tweak. That said, good luck getting higher than 110; even that would be pretty generous.
