Arma2 & OA Post Effects

[Vultar 0]

I am having a strange problem with Post Effects in both games.

After a while of using them my eyes hurt and head aches.

I am getting annoyed. That is why I must keep these effects off.

Anyone knows reason for that?

Anyone else having the problem?

Thanks.

Go to options -> Graphics and set the post processing to the desired level.

What is that? Did you read my post before replying?

Maybe you're suffering from some strain brought on by the fake depth blurring? Perhaps your brain is trying to focus your eyes on blurry parts to bring them back into focus, but cannot?

Not experiencing that problem myself, although I do play with PP on low, which doesn't have the blur effect.

Do you expect a physiological explanation?In that case the ophtalmological would be my first adress instead.

He just tried to give ya a hand on how to turn it off or lower the effect

If u suffering on it, turn it off and test if it works then for ya.

You probably need some glasses or stronger ones if you already got one.

At the end this is a gaming forum.

And no, i am neither suffering on headache or similar.

Disable or set to a minimum the "headbob" parameter in the "Game Options" will help a lot, too, to lower your headache issues

Perhaps you're right. However, never happened to me before, just Arma2 and OA.

Gothic3, Oblivion Mods, and some new games - they have DoF and other effects and everything is ok.

yes disable headbob and turn post processing off

Headbob and Blur would be my guesses also.

They both make a lot of work for your eyes physically.

There is a mod available..OKT NoBlur in the mods section of this forum that removes the blur FX but keeps all the the other post processes.

This is how I prefer to play.

Yeah this is exactly what I did - turned all that off.

About mod - well, not every server allows it.

I play with everything on, but head bob is set quite low. The little degration is the only physical discomfort we get, and I want it for the sense of added immersion.
