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 =)

Dunno why, it does'nt seem too disorientating, its not like the screen jerks up and down like Killzone 2 or COD.... | ||

Have you tried adjusting how far you sit away from your monitor? | ||

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 =[ | ||

To be quite honest, though, I find these other factors even less likely to cause your problem =[ 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. | ||

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. | ||

Tea, candy, slices, pills, cookies, gum. http://www.amazon.com/Ginger-People-Gins-Candy-candy/dp/B000EM8308/ There's also pressure points under your forearm that help block signals that trigger nausea. http://www.homebackpainacupressure.com/acupressure-for-sea-sickness.html If that helps alleviate nausea you can consider one of these types of wrist band http://www.sea-band.com/ | ||
