Is it possible to disable camera sway and/or weapon bobbing in Quake 1?
Upon sorting some of my games into categories on Steam I realised I had the original Quake in my Steam library (bought as part of a Steam sale pack no doubt), and decided to give it a go.
Unfortunately there is something about Quake's bobbing/camera movement which makes me motion sick. I can't stand to play it for more than 5 minutes at a time before I need to take a break. This is a weird phenomenon for me, as I can play every other game fine without feeling this violently ill, including every other FPS I've come across. Even E.T. doesn't make me feel this ill.
Needless to say I've done some research and most people online point their fingers at the camera sway and the weapon movement.
Is there a way to change or otherwise disable or dial down the camera sway/weapon movement? Perhaps a configuration setting/file or even a mod that does this?
Note I'm primarily concerned with the Steam version (mentioned just in case it's any different from other versions out there).
This are the console commands you're looking for I guess.
