feeling strange while playing half life 2

Its motion sickness, usually something to do with the FOV (Field of View) settings. According to this page, you can change the FOV by typing "sv_cheats 1;fov 90" into the console. You can change the number to whatever you like, but 90 is the most common for preventing motion sickness.

I have the same problem sometimes, Borderlands 1 caused huge problems for me, I could only play it for about 10 minutes before I felt like I had to be sick.

Go to the HL2 console and type in 'sv_cheats 1;fov 90'

it felt warm one time and when I looked down at my pants they had a wet stain

Another pointer - don't sit so close to the screen. Or, if possible, use a smaller monitor.

The majority of people I know who have issues like what you describe sit to close to a screen while playing a 3D game.

Another thing, so from what I can understand the problem is the fov; around the internet, i found that the players changed the fov via console but this was considered as a cheat and it didn't gave you achievements, now I have this option in the graphic settings if I change it to 90 it will still count as a cheat?

I felt similar things in Half Life, and yet I never suffered from anything closely related to the usual FOV disease and motion sickness. Or maybe it's because the gliding in this game is just so damn loooooong, and said disease triggered because of that.

yeah, this is a common problem with some source games/mods. also with some 3DS games.

"motion sickness" aka "gaming sickness"

happened to me too(Black Mesa Source), only while playing at night though.

try playing while it's bright outside or turn up some lights around your rig and do some breaks here and then, that helped me. :/

Try turning on Vsync, maybe it's the high amount of FPs that gives you a headache, I read too many was actually a common problem with TVs and they had to fix that, I imagine it's no different in gaming.

The only game which gave me headaches was Terraria, after I changed the lighting, I did not have anymore headaches.

Try using a mod or something to change the lighting maybe ?

Motion sickness in Half-Life 2 is very common. I remember getting it when I played it during the boat sequences and I've never experienced it in any other games.

first time i played HL2, i also felt sick and had a bad headache

Hmm, had the same problem with that game, never was able to finish it. :( Might try one of those fov fixes and give it one more chance, but I will probably just forget...

I tried changing the fov and I played the game for about two hours without so much problem so for now it's ok, i will see the effects continuing playing but for now thank for the suggestions.

This happens to me when I play Skyrim. Someone gifted it to me back when it was first out so like 60/50 dollars (I forget how much) so I feel so bad for not enjoying it... but it's hard to enjoy a game when it literally makes you sick. Someone suggested some mod that helps with that. Haven't tried it yet...

I got a headache playing Borderlands 2 today.
Though it was because the game is bad not because...

that's the reason I've played so little hl2...

you must have:
changed your monitor and/or upgraded to a better gfx card

Well i have an id which doesn't have portal 2 so i believe we can do it,add me to talk about it!

Honestly i never had such problems with games,and i loved HF2 when it was released a few years back,the only problem i had at that time was the "antique" PC that i had.Man,do you know how hard ar annoying it is to play with all video settings at minimum?

You probably haven't been smoking enough

Well my friend can't play some games like CS or Quake cause it gives him headaches and he wants to puke :D so I guess you are not alone

that game gives me motion sickness i had to change some movement settings to make it less bad i think it was called friction
so he slides around less

Is this ever happened to you?

Yeas me too if i playing about 4 hours later i feeling like a meat :D
ist maybe becouse player moving fast

its because its a god-tier game

This happens to me playing portal to where I can't play it. Makes me sick to my stomach, dizzy, headache. I figured it was from jumping through the portals lol
