    @caffeinzombie211 

    A few other xbox settings I use to declutter the screen and audio field that may help you a bit too:

    Gameplay:

    Interact prompt style - compact

    Button hints - off

    Crosshair damage feedback - off

    Damage numbers - stacking

    Ping opacity - faded

    Obituaries - off

    Minimap rotation - off

    Incoming damage feedback - 2D

    Hopup popup - off

    Performance display - off

    Reticle - customise to what suits you

    Laser sight - customise to what suits you

    Color blind mode - may have some more comfortable settings for you

    Subtitles - off 

    Disable chat features

    Convert incoming voice to text - off

    Video:

    Fov 110% - you could reduce that

    Fov ability scaling - off

    Sprint view shake - minimal 

    Audio:

    Dialogue at 64%

    Music volume 0%

    Lobby music 0%

    And lastly 😃

    Kunai - off

  • @caffeinzombie211 gee that dosnt sound good. I'm no expert but, for whatever reason, you might need to stop playing a session before you start to feel bad, and rest for a bit.

    Have you tried playing at 720 instead of 1080 or uhd. There's a big difference in the picture and it might suit you better, its much plainer and colors more subdued. 

    Have you fiddled with your tv/monitor settings to see if you can decrease what's causing you a problem. 

    Only other thing I can think of at the moment is to set damage to stacking, so there's only one number there.

    @caffeinzombie211 I have my controller values for turning and up and down movement (inc ads) at what would be considered slow, as I cannot see what's going on if it's too fast.

    Might be worth trying that too.

    You are very welcome.

    If you could post anything that worked for you (and maby why), or anything else you come across that makes for a better experience for you to play apex, that would be great.

    It could help to others in your situation have a better time too, if they find this thread.

    This is the way 😃🥳
