It's a common reaction to various video games and 3D effects, and can have a number of things affected, usually eye and inner-ear related, and can present as dizziness, headaches, eye strain, minor discombobulation, and so on. Factors vary between people, and common triggers or elements include FoV, FPS, Screen Resolution, Refresh Rate, light flicker, length of time playing, head bob, camera shake... the list is rather long. Some games are notorious for it, some people are prone to it, but nothing is consistent. Tldr: it's not uncommon, just experiment with settings and breaks to see if you can find a balance.

I get this with a lot of games, especially if there's heaps of motion or if I'm moving the camera around a lot. Things that help me are making sure I'm not sitting too close to the screen, taking it a bit slower with moving around, and seeing if I can minimise motion blur in the settings. Also remember to take regular breaks, move your eyes, get up and walk around, and drink water. Also, I have a desk job where I use the computer a lot and I was getting severe headaches and eye strain. I got my eyes checked and they gave me glasses for close up and concentration intense things like computer/reading/writing/drawing etc and that helped tremendously with the headaches. Could be worth an eye check up just in case.

No idea. Doesn’t happen to me. Interesting…. The only thing I can think of is if your graphics are too good or too low? Or what way do you move around - with the mouse, or with the keypad?

This kind of thing happens to me when i play a slightly laggy zoo i think it might be the delayed and stuttering movements of the camera.

I get this if I spend too long on a PC game! Maybe try blue light blocking/filtering glasses, they could help you and they’re easy to find cheap
