Experiencing dizziness during specific video games
Experiencing dizziness during specific video games
Getting to the point quickly. I don’t understand why playing games on my PC makes me feel sick—it’s definitely motion sickness. It only happens with certain titles like Dying Light or Far Cry, not with games such as PUBG. I usually play for 4 to 5 hours straight without stopping, and I don’t notice anything unusual. Am I doing something wrong? Or should I see a doctor? Also, I play PUBG in first person—any advice would be great. Thanks.
Disable any blur effects and aim for the highest possible frames per second. Avoid Mirrors Edge since its head movement is pre-set and won’t resolve. The scripted bobbing both bothers me and disrupts gameplay when developers enable blur by default.
I observed I experience motion sickness when something appears blurry on the screen. My eyes attempt to sharpen focus, but the blur prevents clarity, causing my visual system to react. I’m not sure if this is the case, but I don’t normally get motion sickness. Perhaps it’s different—like when I played a racing game in VR and felt my body say “Why aren’t you moving? You should be!”
