Hello guys I am posting this in hopes that some of you on here can let me know what's going on or help? I never get sick while playing video games. I've been playing games ever since I was very little. However with skyrim after a few minutes of playing I start feeling nausious and my eyes start to hurt. It was also like this with black ops 1. Any help??

Motion Blur is usually the Culprit. Some games make me really sick with Motion Blur Enabled.

FXAA may be another reason. blurring the edges around Objects.

Another thing could be your FOV. Skyrim has a default FOV of 70 I believe. This is pretty bad for PCs. You can change this setting by hitting the ~ key while in game to open the command console and type FOV 90 or FOV 85... Whatever number you like. I believe anything between 70-110 is fine.

The only bad part is you'll have to do this every time you load the game. Making this charge permanent requires editing .ini files. Just google that if you want =P

I'm trying out turning of the motion blur right now. I'll report back after a few hours of gameplay. However I'm wondering why this could be? I've played all my games with max AA and motion blur and it seems just to be this game and black ops. Could it really be what simpsons33 said?
