Another HL2 Thread: Anyone else get motion sick while driving?

[PCHPlayer]

I have to take a break multiple times to get through the "driving" levels. Otherwise I'd blow chunks onto the keyboard. Any solutions to the problem?

Run down to the drug store and pick up some Dramamine?

I went through all the buggy stages in one sitting.

This actually seems to be a big issue on the Steam forums... I've only driven the boat so far and it was fine for me.

I got a little motion sickness while playing the boat levels.

Yep, didn't feel too well driving that pontoon boat. Now that I'm back on foot, I can play for a bit longer.

I just get a headache after playing any part of the game for a while. Only happens in HL and HL2. I can play CS/CS:S for hours on end no problem. Doom 3 no problem. UT2004 no problem. I dunno what it is. Also happens in all the Turok games whether on PC or console and in Halo2. Eh, I'm weird.

😱 I have the same problem with the game. I can play UT2004 for hours and not have a problem, but HL2 is killing me after about an hour to hour and a half. I think it might be related to flying around in the airboat as well, because I seem to be able to play longer when I'm not in it. I wish it didn't make me want to hurl for playing, because I can't stop playing. 😀

Hmm, this is bizarre. I had no problems with motion sickness. I wonder what could be some of the causes for it.

I ran it on a 12ms Samsung digital LCD with an X800 Pro at 1280X1024 (ie very smooth gameplay).

I wonder if choppiness or CRT's (or high response time LCD's) could be a culprit or at least a catalyst for these symptoms. There may be some common ground...
