I've been wanting this for a little while now. We need a field of view slider for all of the people who get motion sick at a low field of view.

- What is field of view?

Field of view is what our eyes can see at one time. The natural human field of view is about 180°, peripheral field of vision included. The field of view is about the same thing. It is what our eyes can see in-game at all times. I believe the default FoV for ROBLOX is 70. Most PC gamers like me play at 90° or even higher.

- Why does a low field of view cause people to get motion sickness?

For some people, especially PC gamers used to playing at a high field of view such as 90°, the game looks less "natural". I'm going to explain this fairly poorly, but bear with me. When looking at a computer screen about 1-3 feet away from you, the field of view the screen takes up is 90° or more of your own real life field of view. If you make it so the field of view is about as high as the field of view the screen is taking up, it will look more natural to you.

- I have never experienced motion sickness on ROBLOX, even with the low field of view.

The most likely reason for this is that you have never experienced a high field of view. Most of the people who get motion sick from low field of view are people who play at high field of view frequently.

Thank you for reading.

Motion sick from a fiew pixels? Perhaps get some rest from your pc, but I think if the game is made by a decent scripter he should be able to implement it himself. There would be 3 slides!

Support undecides, have to think about it

"Motion sick from a fiew pixels?"

It's actually not just a few pixels. It's actually a pretty drastic change. Here is a fairly good comparison video: https://youtu.be/Se95M2ySzDI

"but I think if the game is made by a decent scripter he should be able to implement it himself."

This is very true. However, I have yet to see a game that implements this to a different degree than having "cool" camera angles or something.

Support, out of all the PC game reviews I watched one of the first things they always check is there a FOV slider. It is an important feature and can help prevent nauseous feelings.

I support due to the following:

1. FPV would be a cool feature in games where the script isn't in the game.

2. The slider would mean that the fellows who dont want FPV don't necessarily have to use it.

and

3. You provided alot of info on the subject.

Thanks for letting us all know your idea, M8!

I support with a small addition to the idea. My add-on idea consists of a Default FOV button. That is all :3

Also, I'd like to throw this out there... we need to keep the tablet/mobile users in mind. Although Roblox was made for PC to begin with, most of us loved roblox so much to where we wanted to play it all the time, whether it was on a school computer or our very cell phones. The GUI needs to be user-friendly on all devices. ...including those gosh darn mac users. Lulz :3

No support. I looked into it, and the FOV can be used to zoom in. This can be abused by campers.

@michaeldylano
Yeah true, but I'm sure ROBLOX can easily make it to where this feature can be turned on and off through place management.
But then again, these things are also easy to script/insert into game... I don't think I have a reason to support this anymore. I'm with michaeldylano on this one for the reason I've given.

"Lol but it's scriptable."

Most developers don't actually consider high FoV and usually don't add it, restricting what some people on ROBLOX can play.

Default FOV would most likely be the lowest it can go. However, if they make it go lower, this is a great idea.

As long as ROBLOX doesn't make the FOV slider in a way that you can have an EXTREMELY narrow FOV i.e. 60 and lower than this wouldn't be a problem.

Avatar, the FOV would be client side. You realise you can pretty much hack everything that is client side by simply hooking a debugger like visual studio? Look for the FOV slider, then set the FOV value to 0. The server can't control what you see, therefore it can't control the FOV. You obviously have no idea how server - client games work.

Unless they add server verification of the FOV value, but really? For a freaking FOV slide? I think people should deal with it. I don't want a FOV slide in MY games. Ever think about what others want? And really, I've never heard anyone complain about the FOV. It is up to the developer.

The fact that you can use a localscript to only edit YOUR clientside FOV says enough - you can "hack" it with a bit of effort and a third-party debugger.

This would be a huge improvment if their was, the default FOV is 70.

If a normal PC game was locked at 70FOV i would get that refund from steam straight away

Fov needs to be adjustable and be able to be 90-110

No support, games that use FOV could be messed up by this update. And it could give players an unfair advantage in a LOT of games.

Just because someones pc/laptop is under powered it should not mean that people with powerful enough pc's should have to settle. thats what consoles are for

This isn't true without exploiting which risks you getting banned.

You should really take a break from keeping your eyes glued to a screen if you're getting motion sickness off of a few pixels.

Some get motion sickness after 5-10 minutes. Didn't know that was a long time.
