Witcher Vision causing headaches.

Hello! I’ve searched around quite a bit and couldn’t find anything that ended up helping me with my specific issue, so I figured I’d ask here. I’m currently attempting to try out the Witcher 3 now that I’ve got a relatively good PC, but it’s unfortunately causing me rather bad headaches when using the Witcher Vision. I very, very rarely have any kind of physical issues like this when playing other games, so I was honestly a bit surprised by it. The biggest issue that seems to be causing it is the sort of “after image” effect when I move my head; the way the outer line/highlight is left behind for a few seconds is extremely disorienting when I move the camera more than a little bit or am walking.

Here’s a list of a couple things I’ve tried to fix it.
Turned off motion blur.
Turned off blur.
Turned raytracing both off and on, as well as gone through all the settings.
Turned fisheye off.
Made sure sharpening is off.
Changed the gamma.
Limited my frame rate in various ways.

These are settings I’ve toggled both on and off, and tested with.
Depth of field.
Vigentting.
Light shafts
Vsync.

And even fiddled with the .ini file settings as well, including MotionSicknessFocusMode, as I saw others in the past suggest that. Unfortunately, not a single one of those stopped the after image effect I’m getting when using Witcher Vision, so I’d like to ask for any tips if possible. I’m also open to modding, so long as it doesn’t change the base game too much, as I’d like to enjoy it normally before modding it into oblivion. Thank you in advance!
