Motion Sickness...

[Neil aka Major Tum]

Does anyone every suffer the above when playing CM?

If I zip around the battle field, scrolling in and out, up and down, for a longtime, then I start to feel a bit sick...

I suppose its a bit like when I was a kid and travelled in my parents car...then puked up everywhere...

Or am I just sensitive?

I don't get this with CM games but any first person shoot em ups really make me nauseous! I can't play them and Total War leaves me a little queasy from time to time - get yourself to a cranial osteopath, they may be able to help - often old whiplash injuries can cause this type of feeling, or ear infections.

One thing I've done that does seem to work is using 'sea bands' - they are wrist bands that press on an acupuncture point and prevent motion sickness, they certainly helped me so maybe you could try that - although I haven't tried them with first person games they definitely helped with Total War.

Slow scroll everywhere at the low level views, yes. I just pop out to longer views, select a unit, and jump to it with tab. You can also ctrl-click on a spot to jump there. Giving orders or checking unit states after a turn, I step through them using +. When I am watching the movie, I do it from a wide angle like 4 or 5, and occasionally pick a unit to lock onto from a lower view, after seeing the tape at the larger scale first.

Not for any games I'm playing, but looking at the screen when my son is playing a high speed game flips my stomach.
