Anyone else get eye strain from CoD4?


Recommended Posts

Not sure what's going on since I don't get this from any other games, especially FPS, but CoD4 gives me really bad eye strain straight away, I need to keep rubbing my eyes, makes it really uncomfortable and unplayable! :( I get this on my brothers computer as well and I'm just wondering if anyone else gets this?

I've asked my brother and he gets it as well, which is really strange. I've messed around with settings like turning Dual cards off, V-sync on and off and Depth of View etc, nothing works.

Nope, never happened to me when I played COD4. I also find it strange that some people get seasick, when playing some game.

I did get seasick when I rode buses and on back seat in cars, but never from a game (or now that I drive a car).

playing in low light?

too close to the screen?

Nope, viewing distance is fine, and it's day light at the moment. I don't get this problem with other games, just CoD4.

I had this problem years ago with a certain 3DFX driver when playing Counter Strike, very weird.

When I first started playing CoD I got headaches after about 20-30 minutes of playing. For me, turning off the depth of field really helped. I've never experienced anything like it in any other game, too.

No doesn't happen to me. Infact I just finished the last few levels on Veteran. No problems here.

I don't get how people can get sick from playing moving games like car -racing or FPS. Do you ever get sick by just walking?

For some reason the same thing seems to happen to me while playing Fallout 3. In certain lighting (in-game), I tend to lose focus and I end up straining my eyes trying to see what's on the screen.

I don't really experience this in any other game, although sometimes while reading on the computer I strain my eyes because of the bright background.

That's really strange that it only happens for this game. It must be the way the animations are done, they must put some extra stress on your eyes.

You know, I think it's the flashbangs and concussion effects used in the game. In singleplayer it's ok, but in multiplayer they happen so often that it starts to become a physical assault after a few hours of non-stop play.
