I keep trying to play half-life and keep quitting everytime because of motion sickness

[-] blind3rdeye@lemm.ee 4 points 7 months ago

I was totally fine playing HL1, and HL2, and HL2 episode 1.... but I never finished episode 2 because of motion sickness. The problem isn't really with episode 2 though. The problem is just that I got old, and now I get motion sickness from FPS games that didn't affect me before.

But I do know that not every FPS makes me sick. I think mouse-look smoothing helps. I'm not certain what else, but I'd try messing with the field-of-view angle and stuff like that.

I thought it was just me! I played every HL game as a teen. Now 20 years later, my old eyes seem to struggle a bit.

And yeah, changing FoV is what solved it for me.

Have you tried increasing FOV?

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Have you tried enabling and opening the developer console and changed the sv_friction value to something higher than the default of 4? Perhaps 6? Might get rid of the sliding of the character movement and help with your motion sickness.

I'm the same with 1. I'd recommend trying out Black Mesa, it might be the best game remake ever made.
