Srugie Veteran Posted January 1, 2009 Veteran Share Posted January 1, 2009 I play a lot of PC games but for some reasons every time I play Far Cry 2 I get nauseous. This has never happened to me before and I assume it has something to do with Far Cry 2. Has this happened to anyone else before and does anyone know what I can do to change this? -indiansboy94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BeLGaRaTh Subscriber¹ Posted January 1, 2009 Subscriber¹ Share Posted January 1, 2009 Update to the latest patch if your using a widescreen monitor and resolution. The AR was an issue and caused this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srugie Veteran Posted January 1, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted January 1, 2009 I did patch to v1.02. Is there a specific option that I'm suppose to check in the display settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BeLGaRaTh Subscriber¹ Posted January 1, 2009 Subscriber¹ Share Posted January 1, 2009 No, just the patch should fix it 1.0 (unpatched) was causing the problems for me 1.02 fixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the game patched to the latest patch and I'm still experiencing issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob_c_b Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I had a similar experience with the air boat leve in Half Life 2, to this day I have to break that level in to a couple play sessions or I'm woozy for the rest of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BeLGaRaTh Subscriber¹ Posted January 2, 2009 Subscriber¹ Share Posted January 2, 2009 if all else is failing you can try the Farcry 2 FOV hack/fix, but I think that only works with vanilla 1.0 As I mentioned above I had no issues after patch 1.02 (I stopped playing because of the nausea effect) and reinstalled after I realised there were patches out.

I tend to be fine nausea wise except for sprinting. When I'm sprinting I begin to get nauseous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PyX Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 So patching a game removes nauseous feelings now? Man, what else will patches be able to do in the future!? I laughed a lot at this topic :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEX4S Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Not sure if this thread is for real or not - but having a fps near 60 or below will do it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'm definitely not getting over 60 fps is FC2 becuase it's a pretty graphics intense game so maybe there's my problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_c_b Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 A widly swinging frame rate will do it as well, so you may have to tweak some settings to get rid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

an Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 the reason you get nauseous is because, when your character sprints, the screen gets tilted a little to the right and left and as your character gets tired, you get that effect where it gets all blurry and zooms back out i always get disoriented when that happened to me(not really nauseous) , the only solution i can think of is, put a lamp near the monitor such that it diffuses light all over your keyboard and keep the monitor around 4 feet away from your keyboard. i dont kno why the lamp method worked, but it reduced the disorientation for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangely it only happens after an hourish of playing multiplayer only. Not single player. I've never experienced it in any other game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smigit Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I doubt it's just the sprinting but how the entire game is designed. The fact EVERY motion is done in game from getting in and out of cars, opening maps, opening doors ect. Most games your view remains relatively static but FC2's jumps and moves around like no tomorrow. I'd say it's largely why so many people get sick in HL2's water level too as the screen is constantly bumping about and you can't focus on anything.
