Simulator sickness

[tandwan 250]

Hi, my name is Tandwan.

I'm an ex-Army 19k10 who spent 7 years active duty and during that time of my life I found out I had simulator sickness.

What is simulator sickness?

Simulator sickness is where you are looking at a game, usually a first person view game and after a while you get sick to your stomach and dizzy and it also can cause vomiting.

I can't play some FPS shooters because of this, but a way I found to combat it in Arma II is through third person while moving. This helps SOMETIMES, but not all the time.

A tried and working method I have found is to eat peppermint / butterscotch. It sound stupid, yes, but i've found it stops my sickness and allows me to play.

Hope this helps you out, there ARE other ways to solve this which you can google, but this was short, sweet and to the point.

Turn off headbob in the settings and also turn off mouse free aim.

Headbobbing in games usually makes my eyes sore too. Turn it off like the poster above said and you're good to go.

I know someone who has the same problem and doesn't play many games because of it.

I'll be sure to pass some advice along. :)

Turning off head bob sounds like a good idea.

The headbob in this game is unbearable.

Turned it off in my game, now I can move in first person without feeling sick.
