The game gives me serious motion sickness, the rather drastic swaying of your screen when you walk strains my eyes and I just cannot play at all. I've never had a problem where my eyes were hurt while playing a video game, and when I first got the game I didn't have the problem. I stopped playing for a little while, and then when I came back to it like 2 months later I noticed the swaying, badly. So if anyone knows of any way to perhaps turn off the swaying? I really really want to play the game

This phenomenon pretty rare but yes, there is still games that makes you feel sick and sweating

I had this situation in The Punisher and in Gun, when I started to play I felt badly sick

I think it's because the fact that in the game you're running or moveing fast or jumping but physically you're sitting opposite your computer like your body is sitting and your mind is jumping (in the game), this is generate imbalance between your mind and your body which means that you're going to feel bad....

My suggestion is to breathe a lot of air and drinking a lot of water, if it's not working I offer you to leave this game.

I really like the swaying of the camera, it makes it look more realistic, that and motion blur.

Slightly offtopic...

Has anyone noticed bugs like Quests automatically failing because of AI activity?

I think it may have prevented me Joining a faction. I tried to join Duty, and the first mission for Skull is to shoot the tower sniper, so I did. Then they ran up planted the splodes' and I turned round and saw a Freedom guy?! He ran up the road behind the hut, shot Skull through the wall then promptly died.

Okay... mission failed. I'll try freedom.

I get there and all the freedom guys are banging up against the wall where the splodes' are and trying to retaliate the Duty guys.
Theres no quest guy yet... So I wait. an Hour and 15 minutes to be precise. Suddenly all the Freedom guys come running into the armoury and everythings fine.

I talk to the Freedom guy Lusaka or whatever his name is, and he tells me to kill Skull. I think well hes dead anyway Ill do it an easy quest.

I take it, then immediately the mission pda bleeps 3 times. Somehow Id failed?! WTF?

And there have been other sircumstances like for example trying to save the Ecologists on the way to Yantar, the guy requesting help promptly died after sending the message. So I fought off these Mercs to find the body.

He was in the anomaly tunnel.... -_-

GRRR! Okay so I just want to know after that long story, can I still have a way of joining their factions? Im sick and tired of Barkeep work.

I've had problems collecting rewards for completed missions - eg there was some money the first trader owed me for killing some bandits or something, but he wouldn't pay up and the time limit ran out - b*****d!

Yes there are bugs in the side missions but hopefully patch 1.1 will resolve most of them and of course give us freeplay (play continues after you receive an ending).

Ah excellent! Mind you i noticed that upgrading from 1.00 to 1.05 made my save unusable >:[, I think for now I'll just use the Freedom base as an Ammo supply, kill a few off and loot them for their totally awesome rifles! xD

An its nice to hear about the freeplay, I was thinking why that wasnt a staple part of a freeform shooter, I mean GTA has it!

There's no official release date that I know of, I do know that a beta patch has been leaked. The link is on a thread in the Stalker Union.

motion sickness can be worse with an empty stomach.

Sit further away from your monitor. (so your brain can stabilse on non moving stuff as well)

It varies for me i sometimes get motion sickness from playing 10 mins or so from some FPS :?, and then on the other hand i can have a right session for hours and be fine :P, i think it could stem from being tired or the light in the room..maybe
