dizzy whilst playing half life 2
-
anyone experience dizziness/headache when playing fps games like hl2, bioshock etc? when i play too long i get headaches...
-
you're just getting too dizzy as your eyes are tired .

It takes me only 10 min playing any FPS games to feel like puking. Even Google Earth makes me puke if I play with it for too long. I think is a form of motion sickness. So I only play RTS games like CnC series (minus Renegade) and StarCraft, AOE/AOM Series. FPS games are strictly no no.Originally posted by unclebutcher:anyone experience dizziness/headache when playing fps games like hl2, bioshock etc? when i play too long i get headaches...
Strange thing is I don't have problem on boats even those bumboats that used to ply between Changi Point and P. Tekong or airplane. -
i used to play all the FPS non stop for hours, but since HL2 i been getting motion sickness. went to play BF2142 lan with my friend last nite. got pretty sick also.
old liao. old man can only play solitaire -
the only medication I can give is uninstall and break the CDs...

You've got vertigo.

Its the frames per second lah......i dun understand why some people cannot handle it......i find it really amusing coz are using more fps than tv which is actually good......you would normally feel like puking if the fps is low and lagging abit

i confirm with u my fps for hl2 is at least 40 minimumOriginally posted by Deino:Its the frames per second lah......i dun understand why some people cannot handle it......i find it really amusing coz are using more fps than tv which is actually good......you would normally feel like puking if the fps is low and lagging abit -
i think its just you......tv programs go at 30 for the maximum leh......Originally posted by unclebutcher:i confirm with u my fps for hl2 is at least 40 minimum
but normally video games run on 60 fps......but then again it also depends on wot you are doing in the game itself -
i nearly puked while playing half life 2 too. it is due to the default fov at 75. changed it to 90 and no more problem! go into console and type:
sv_cheats 1
fov 90
u hav to type it everytime u start the game at the main menu. hope it works for you! -

yea half life 2 makes me dizzy after 10 mins too... the turning and all that seems to be too fast arhghgh .. but cs source still okay no problem
-
play 2-d game, maple story.
-
it's the field of vision. supposely most FPS games have a fov of 90 degrees. but then again... even after the change i still hav abit of a problem while driving the boat n buggy due to motion sickness.

Field of Vision.Originally posted by unclebutcher:whats fov?
The higher the FOV, the more things you can see... But set it too high, the graphics might appear stretched...
Pro gamers always use a high FOV -
this kind must get used to it de....last time i play half life then will feel dizzy but the more i play the more i wont feel dizzy.....now i can play for hours withou being sick..

its not FPS, its call stimulation sickness.Originally posted by Deino:Its the frames per second lah......i dun understand why some people cannot handle it......i find it really amusing coz are using more fps than tv which is actually good......you would normally feel like puking if the fps is low and lagging abit

it doesnt matter how high ur FPS is to get stimulation sickness. my HL2 was running at 60+FPS at full res FYI. so its not caused by FPS. -
cham liao .. gone case .. no cs ..Originally posted by FireIce:after my fren played CS for 2hours straight at a cybercafe, the moment she stood up, she puked -
woah so extreme ar ..
-
same for me. its due to motion sickness because the while playing your brain perceives that you (in the game) are moving but your body isnt.
this problem is quite apparent for people who play hl2 because the angle of the point of view is 75 while for most other shooters it is 90 degrees. the angle can be changed but i dont know how you can go google it haha. -
u dun want to puke, play REAL LIFE HL2
-
same..guess its the over use of ur eyes..best is play awhile liao pause and look far for a bit..or if u wearing spec..change ur spec to a low power 1..lower then ur current..might help more
