how to prevent motion sickness in first-person shooters?

[joemamma]

is there anyway to prevent it without taking drammamine or whtaever it's called?

 

[NetworkDad]

dramamine?

 

[notfred]

Don't be a panzy who gets motion sickness w/o actually moving. Either that, or stop playing Quake while on your boat.

Hmm...

all I can say is make sure your getting more then 60FPS, and the monitor refresh rate is set to a flicker free rate. AND keep playing till you get used to it.

I've never heard that one...unless the framerate is too low. That is a good cause.

More FPS will help.
So lower your resolution or up your video card.

I heard turning off viewbob helps.

I have that problem sometimes. It is really weird. The spin starts rooming.

Half-Life was the only game that really made me sick after playing it for awhile. My stomach would just start to feel queasy and I would have to stop playing. Now, I have been able to play other games just fine, even CS. I don't know if it was the colors or the infamous refresh rate problem with nVidia drivers. Since then I have applied the patch to fix the refresh rate but I have not played Half-Life since then, only CS. All I can say is that you have the refresh rate set high enough and that you are getting respectible FPS.

I used to get it with duke nukem 3d in VGA mode.

I had that problem to. I just took a break from playing when it happened and eventually it didn't happen anymore.

Other than 4xFSAA, framerate isn't a problem for me

The original wolfenstein is the only game that gives me that problem.

BINGO! If viewbob is set to anything other than "off" I get sick.

 

[clicknext]

I used to always get motion sickness but then I just didn't heed my discomfort like any smart person would, and eventually I didn't get it anymore.

 

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

duke nuke'em 3d really got me feeling sick when i was playing it a couple years ago... other than that i've been fine.

He's gone shrooming...

I get this sometimes on certain FPS games. I hadn't thought about the framerate. I'm gonna test that out.

Motion sickness from a FPS? Maybe I'm out of the loop but I've never even heard of this.
