So I bought a new computer a few months ago for SC2 and have been testing out my video card on the FPS games from the past few years.
Oddly enough, playing Singularity and BioShock have caused me to experience a bit of nausea. Ive never experienced this before. Anyone else have it happen to them? Is it because of the newer wide screen monitors? Ive done a bit of google but it has been inconclusive so far =)

I always get motion sickness from FPS games. Since the greatest FPS ever made Goldeneye for N64 I could only play half an hour before having to lie down.
|
It's called simulator sickness, its exact causes aren't really known.

Ive played FPS games for years and never had this happen. Its so weird

i had this too..
whenever i play L4D, i'll knock out in 5mins..
i remember last time (dam young) when i played Resident Evil on PlayStation, i actually fainted, jsut in time that my mom came home..

Sometimes happens to me when I play MW2 at my friend's house. Idk why, but it only happens sometimes O_O

I pretty much never get motion sickness, but when I played the Campaign for Halo awhile back it made me really sick, ended up giving me bad headaches. Dunno why, it does'nt seem too disorientating, its not like the screen jerks up and down like Killzone 2 or COD....

I've never had issues with motion sickness and games. However, I do get sick watching 3d movies. My girlfriend can't watch / play any FPS games for longer then 10 seconds without getting really sick.
|
hmmm its interesting how u dont get sick of playing fps games, but for these two games specifically...
|
maybe you should talk to a doctor just to be safe. i've never experienced this before, and i hope it never does.
|
Wow this would be pretty weird.
Have you tried adjusting how far you sit away from your monitor?

Maybe eliminate some variables? Had you played Bioshock and the other games you tested out before you bought the new monitor? If so then maybe that's likely. If you haven't, then maybe try out some games you used to play like Quake3 or something and see if you still feel nauseous.
What about other factors like refresh rate or display type (LCD vs CRT)? To be quite honest, though, I find these other factors even less likely to cause your problem =[

You goto the pharmacy and get these things for behind your ears.

I can play Quake 4 on my current set up and have no issues. Ive heard some people say that in some of the newer FPS games the wide angle of view (like 90 degrees or something) could be part of it. Or I can check the refresh rate. I dont really know how to do the refresh rate though ;D. The games run incredibly smooth so I dont think its an issue with low FPS.

I had the same trouble when I got my new 23'' monitor, just sit back a little further if you can, but youll get used to it eventually, its just different

Don't be retarded posting stuff like this.
If you have a relatively new graphics card you can try running the game on different resolutions with bevels in full screen mode and see if it affects you. It's not the FPS or the refresh rate (unless you have some fucked up hardware), you might have to sit farther back like monion suggested. Would help if you posted specifics.

you are getting old. I used to be fine reading on a bus/car. now I get motion sickness.
