Motion sickness awareness thread

I USED to have motion sickness in games that included racing or in games that required my character to take a lot of turns in a short amount of time. I stopped playing this kind of games for a good amount of time and then BAAAMMM, I got cured. xD I don't have this problem anymore.

Mostly old Valve's game:

Half-Life
Half -life 2
Half -life ep1
Half-life ep2

Portal

(Solution Just start HL2 or whatever up with the -console, enable sv_cheats, and type in "fov 90" This works for Halflife, Halflife 2 and Portal)

Condemned Criminal Origins (Solution Change the FOV to 90 or 80 by adding "FovY" "80.00" in the autoexec.cfg file using notepad)

Blade Kitten (Game looks great but I have no idea why I keep getting sick every 15 minutes playing this I tried playing this twice but its just not worth it...... (I think it has something to do with its weird in game camera movement)

Dishonored (luckily you can solve this in option changing Fov and removing bobble head)

Resident evil 5( Only on a certain area where you riding a spinning plaform elevator you get sick its not much of a issue as long as you don't die multiple times trying to pass this area)

Saints row 3 (Motion blur turn that shit off you have force it off in display.ini )

Valve for some reason back then aint thinking set their FOV at 75 at Default when games always Set their FOV at 90. Also Sometimes deveolpers will forget to widen the FOV and poorly port games on PC leaving the Fov set as it were on consoles..

Drink lots of water. Seems to help me out quite a bit with motion sickness.

Half life, Among the sleep, mind path to thalamus

I only ever get motion sickness whenever there's screen shake, be it in a first person game, top-down or even in a 2D side-scroller. Everything else (motion blur, head bobbing, FOV, etc) is perfectly fine.

Never had motion sickness, but I did get weird feeling when I was using 3D glasses in games at first. Now I'm perfectly used to it and can't wait for proper VR :3

Although my mom has it when she's playing first/third person view games and moves the mouse too quickly (severe effect of nausea and usually needs to stop in few minutes).

Definitely a problem, especially with FPS. I use Sea-Bands. No drugs, and they work wonders. If it wasn't for Sea-Bands, I'd never have been able to finish Firewatch. Triggered it something awful for me.

You can change the FOV in Fallout New Vegas by editing the ini file. There is also a mod that adds an in-game FOV slider using MCM.

I thought Portal 2 had an FOV slider, I'm pretty sure the first Portal had one. If not, it's a Source Engine game, so you can always set it with the console command.

Prey

Motion sickness is for the weak supposedly really unpleasant. I wouldn't know, I don't get motion sick, but I do get vertical disorientation whenever I use elevators. It goes away once I return to the either the preceding or ground floor.

Dead Island Riptide, gives me motion sickness because of the weapon swing. Can't play this game for more than an hour per session.

Also, I got motion sickness when playing Dawn of War 2: Retribution. Probably due to the screen-shake that simulate quakes whenever someone stomp the ground. Same effect that makes me sick in DOTA 2 too but at least there was an option to disable that in-game.

It's only ever happened a few times to me, but when it does it definitely sucks. I think Half Life 2 like someone else mentioned was one of the worst. It only really happens in FPS games to me it seems.

I think the best way to deal with it is to sit further back if you can, or adjust the FOV. I also get somewhat used to it by just powering on through the game.

Turok was the first game that made me motion sick. I didn't know what was happening at the time and thought I was going to die. I usually avoid FPSs because most will make me sick. More recently, Bioshock Infinite and Wolfenstien: The New Order have given me a lot of trouble. I plan to do all of the tweaks like FOV, Motion Blur and Head/Weapon Bob and give them another try down the road tho. I do however play a ton of CSGO and that has never given me any trouble at all.

No, never. I only experience this when I read something on the bus for an extended period of time. Too bad.

I have a hard time playing any game with 'motion blur' turned on, but have never become ill or dizzy from games.
Many things to take into consideration.. room lighting, distance from screen ext. ext.

All the time ;\ I couldnt play Minecraft for more than 10-15 minutes for the longest time. Same with CSGO. No joke, what helped me was having a shot or a beer before Id play. Well, until I bought a pair of "sea-bands". One of my friends suggested it after she had a huge issue with nausea when she was pregnant. Theyre just these wrist band things with a bead on a pressure point in your wrist. Turns out they also helped me with getting motion sick in games (and on long car rides).

I get it even with games I enjoy. Just check my hours for Skyrim. But there was one day I was playing it and doing a nirnroot quest and just walking in circles and I just got really bad motion sickness. Also, Witcher 2 got a bit of a case of that, mostly because of the camera controls.

The only game that makes me consistently barf is Payday 2. I have about 1 hour before it sets in. Haven't tried in a bunch of updates but it was a combination of head bob, fast paced action / looking around, small FOV, chromatic stuff, lag rubber banding and sudden pauses for character leave/join.

Motion blur, depth of field, screen shake, these things are horrible and pee me off, so I usually turn them off where possible. But they contribute to feeling cruddy for sure.

Never had any motion sickness with any of the games I've played throughout my life. I always thought it was related to whether someone has poor vision or not.

ITT: people mentioning my wishlisted games.

View attached image.

i think a lot of times its just people with not very good vision or are playing tired my wife also gets it at times if she plays at night without a extra light on in the room.

After more than an hour in a car, I start to feel really sick. Luckily, I did not experience this in games so far (though I feel rather uncomfortable when there is too much action like in some shooters or these hell bullet games).
What happens quite often is that I get serious headaches. After an hour playing Borderlands 2, I have to quit. FPS in general seems to be a problem for me, I guess because of the constans wobbling of hands / weapons.

I don't usually but I busted out Sonic Adventure 2 just yesterday and there's one level where you have to switch the gravity repeatedly but the camera doesn't change and the controls get all messed up... I was feeling a little barfy by the end.

I only get motion sickness when playing a game with first person camera but only if there isn't something to look at, like a gun or hands. Sometimes i think it's just my brain messing with me cause i start feeling sick the moment i think i want to play such a game
