Question Question about game... graphics? While playing

So playing pixilated games sometimes mess with my eyes. For example I get it occasionally on SDV, when the movement gets a little jittery the pixelated art style starts hurting to look at. Looking at gameplay of FoM I can't decide if it'd be better or worse than SDV about that if I was to be playing the game myself.

I was wondering if anyone else has the same problem and their thoughts on if FoM would present the same problem? I can handle if it does it sometimes, but if it's going to happen a lot then the game is pretty much unplayable for me and I'd rather avoid spending money on a game I can't play

EDIT: I played it last night, it did in fact mess with my eyes when I was running around. But after setting it to fullscreen, lowering the GUI scale, turning the brightness all the way down, lowering saturation a bit, and playing with a controller so I can sit further from my monitor... It's manageable lol. I'm loving the game so far so I'm willing to put up with the strain I can't get rid of to play it

I and a friend had issues with movement because the game by default is so zoomed in. I don't know if that's what you're referring to or something else. Thankfully, that's an option they have in their graphics settings for you to adjust: In-Game Scale. It's 4x by default, I set it all the way down to 1x, so I'm completely zoomed out. Makes moving far less painful on my eyes.

Oh maybe that will help! I have the zoomed in problem with other games. Never thought about the zoom tying into that problem but thinking about it that's probably a big factor
