Hey there, fellow adventurers! If you’ve been trying to enjoy “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle” but find yourself feeling queasy after just an hour, you’re definitely not alone. I’ve been in the same boat, struggling with that odd head bob that our favorite archaeologist does in this first-person escapade. Fortunately, I’ve found some tweaks in the settings that made the game much more bearable for me—and they might do the trick for you, too.
Now, let’s be real—sometimes the dizziness persists a bit. And yes, I absolutely wish that the brilliant folks at MachineGames would just nix the head bob altogether. Seriously, if you’re listening, that’d be great! But until then, here’s my advice to navigate through the game without turning green.
First things first, dive into the options menu and look for the “Video” section. PC players, this one’s for you: Adjust the Field of View slider to at least 100—pushing it to 110 might work wonders as well. Feel free to experiment with different settings to see what suits you best.
For both console and PC players, another lifesaver is turning off Motion Blur. I know, we’re ditching a bit of artistic flair here, but trust me, your stomach will thank you.
Another setting you might want to check is “Picture Framing.” It’s right at the top of the list when you open the settings menu. I personally have mine set to “Cinematic” mode, which frames the screen with black bars, giving a movie-like appearance. It’s not something I’m too fond of, and I might even call it a cliché choice, but it surprisingly helps curb the nausea for me.
Moving on, let’s explore the “Accessibility” menu. You can modify the Field of View and Motion Blur options here as well, but I assume you’ve already tackled those. The key adjustments here are: turning Camera Stabilization on and Screen Shake off.
One last tip—try sitting further away from your screen while playing. It’s a simple tweak, but it can make a world of difference. While you’re at it, consider enlarging the subtitle size to compensate for the new viewing distance.
And if all else fails, for those on PC, keep an eye out for mods. Someone is bound to release a fix for Indy’s incessant head bobbing—or a modification to switch the gameplay to third-person view (trust me, it’s possible). Until then, these adjustments should help you enjoy the journey a bit more comfortably.
