    Exclamation Unreal 2 graphics making me sick...anyone else?

    I went to a friend's house the other day to play Unreal 2. THAT IS A TIGHT GAME! Unfortunately, after 15mins I started feeling dizzy and later I had a headache. My other friends have reported feeling the same way too. Is it possible that Unreal 2 is too graphically sophisticated for us and is making us feel wack?

    The current rig that 0wnz:
    Antec 2650|A64 3200+|ECS 755-A2|1gb Kingston Value RAM|17" Samsung 730b|Gigabyte 6600GT|8x DVD-RW|160 GB Seagate HD|250 GB external

    The rig that 0wned:
    HP Pavilion 9800|1.3ghz P4|384 RDRAM|Radeon 9000pro 128 MB|15" monitor (12" viewable )|30 gig HD|Windows ME (Cheaper than Windows 98!)|12 DVD-ROM|52/24/52 CD-RW|Nice buttons

    I would say it is do to a low fresh rate and/or low frames per second.

    Nah, it's probably the CRACK.

    Try not smoking any before playing and see if it makes it all better...

    I agree with you.Even though some of those old Delta Force game demos made my eyes hurt.Then again the graphics were gritty looking and the game engine was crap.

    There was a background on some UT2k3 board that made me sick as hell. Kind of looked like purple gasoline in water or something...just made me uber-nauseated.

    Yep, its the low refresh rate...75 is too little I guess.
