A touch of motion sickness...?

While trying out the new jumps between star gates, I noticed I started to feel a bit of sea sickness watching the warps. Whereas I can handle it, CCP might want to note those that could come down with seizures might need an "off" switch.

Just a head's up.

People who suffer from seizures would do well avoiding a game full of flashy lasers and explosions.

Besides, you just need to develop your space legs.

In the lore... the human non capsuleer would feel queazy during jumps. So uh yeah get your jump legs and watch out for the Unicorns in the jump tunnels (true story).

It's a cold and harsh universe where people blow each other up and cause emotional distress. Caring about motion sickness should be the last of peoples worries. ;)

How to I turn the "auto tracking to whatever I select "off? Is driving me nutz..And really is giving me motion sickness. Already made sure the tracking camera is of in directional scanner which has lost all purpose in live.

In fairness how much would you enjoy the game when every time you jumped through a gate you felt queasy.
I don't suffer from this my self, but as stated above there is a simple solution this.
No need to speak to the op in such a manner.

It's not motion sickness, it's vertigo.

I think it's very immersive, jumps are supposed to twist your guts, if I remember the lore correctly.

Thanks for this post Smile

I was the person who originally asked CCP to add the option to stop screen / camera shake due to sever epilepsy : http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=888591
It was amazed when they added it in around 2 months later when they did their next patch. It made Eve a million times more playable for me and I don't think I've unsubscribed since then (2008).

Your post is correct though - this is very hard for people with any form of epilepsy. It reminds me of the days when I didn't have the ability to turn off camera shake.

Actually Eve is very friendly to us. The ability to zoom right out, or to a suitable level means it's easy to play. The options to knock the graphics down also solve this issue quickly.

I have to echo the above though - having some option to stop the 'fast' warp is needed for people like me. This isn't a case of hardening up, I've been hospitalised by seizures caused by similar videos. Believe me, It's not fun.

I don't know who were the kind people for adding the camera shake option all those years ago, but if you'd consider extending your kindness to this, it would be awesome. At the moment it's very bad for those of us with these disabilities.

A loading bar, black screen....anything, I don't care....I just want to play Smile

Many thanks

I made around 24 jumps now on a route and really not feeling good at all.
The effect looks really nice, but my stomache doesn't like it and i feel getting headache... Straight

Please give the option to turn off!

Camera shake was the first thing I turned off immediately. Try clicking a miniscule celestial icon when warping. With camera shake on it's a perfect Parkinsons simulator! Roll

Love the new expansion from what I have seen so far - congrats CCP - BUT:

Can I ask we have the option to turn off the warp tunnel effect when going through gates - I don't often suffer nausea playing eve - except when having my Machariel hot dropped - but after 10 jumps (and admittedly a few beers) was ready to redecorate my computer monitor.

Also the ability to disable the new system scan - although I have the option clicked to 'hide overlay' it seems to reset after jumping into a new system.

Just as a heads-up also had the unhappy circumstance where I logged in another account while having one active and my active account shut down like I was opening a toon on the same account. Which - just for the sake of clarity and previous mention of alcohol consumption - I wasn't.

Once again, well done CCP but would appreciate if the suggested changes and bug could be looked at.

Cheers

It won't be changed, or removed, nor will we see an option to disable it.

Not trying to be mean here, but its CCP we're talking about here.

They don't take criticism of their product very well.

Better learn to live with it, or cancel. I've done the latter, AGAIN.

Wish I could get past the love/hate relationship I have with this damn game and cancel for good.

Also, wrong answer for the OP's question. Thank you for the support, though.

Err... close your eyes for like 10 seconds?
At least you'll be able to play...

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia
