Great, my eyefinity setup gets me nauseous

[tboo]

I have discovered an unfortunate side effect of having an eyefinity setup: I get motion sickeness playing some games. It gets so bad sometimes, I actually am thinking about going back to a single monitor. This sucks.

I'll take it off your hands

If that's you in your avatar, just reach up and beat the shit out of it! Make it obey!

Just kidding, but you'll not get much sympathy on that one. It's one of those nasty side effects worth getting use to. I plopped a 40" 1080p on my desk a year ago and was initially overwhelmed, but walking away from each gaming session with a smile on my face forced the adjustment!

Ive had my setup now since November. Its weird that only certain games make me sick. Right now Farcry 2 is the culprit. Dirt 2 doesnt make me sick. COD5 didnt make me sick.

it's unlikely racing games would make people sick.

 

[davidrees]

My advice is to play through it.

This has happened to me a few times - first when I played Doom, then when I played Descent.

Your brain will probably get used to it in time.

I have to disagree with you. I worked with driving simulators and they made a percentage of the users sick. look up drivesafety for the sims i am talking about.

 

[ZimZum]

I get motion sickness from certain FPS but not others. Seems almost random. Its definitely worse when I game on consoles though.

 

[tboo]

It seems to me the games with drab colors make me sick.

LOL, I have never seen the one with captions.

hm.

 

[rodrigu3]

take dramamine or have gingerale about 1hr before playing - should make it bearable

Isn't that the UFC fighter Keith Jardine?

are you using widescreen fixer? try changing the camera field of view. sometime too much or too little view causes nausea.

 

[EarthwormJim]

Your field of view in the games are probably not set right. You probably need to increase it, I'm not too sure how game engines scale it properly with eyfinity.

As an example I never got further than 30 min into Bioshock until last week when I learned how to change the game's FOV (it was choosing 75 or some insanely low value for widescreen rather than 85 or 90). I've had the game for 2 years now and I'm finally able to play it as long as I want!

Maybe also try angling or altering the angle of your side monitors (so they surround you). Having them all straight might make you sick.

 

[MarcVenice]

Yeah, I've tested Eyefinity, and both FC2 and Call of Duty: MW2 need a widescreen fix, or the FoV is completely f-ed up. I have both files on my pc at work, but googling it should do the trick.

 

[james1701]

The only game that ever gave me a problem was Stalker SoC. The head bob was just too much.

Farcry 2 naturally supports Eyefinity, or so Im lead to believe. I used widescreen fixer when I played COD5.

Managed to snag a Dell 3008 for $800 shipped. Im going to give that a try.

I think you're lead to believe falsely. FC2 had FoV-issues when it first came out. With the ultra-widescreen-mode you get with Eyefinity, the FoV-issue only increases.

 

[Zargon]

its the FOV being out of sync with how it should look that will make you sick

Same with me. Half Life 2 has affects me the worst.

I got a FOV fixer for Farcry 2 & Ill give that a try. I also have a Dell 3008 on the way & Ill try a single large monitor setup as well.
