I’ve never played a game where I get a headache so damn fast. I’m talking 5-10 minutes and I’ve already got a headache… None of the settings are helping… Turned down brightness, turned off motion blur, getting 50fps so its not a jumpy issue… Any suggestions? ---

In addition to the mandatory install, did you install the disc as well? I noticed a big difference after I installed the disc to the hard drive like they recommend. If you already did that though, I’m not sure. ---

The headaches I have come in the form of bugs, jumpy framerate, client/server disconnects, and shitty beta AMD video drivers… not from gameplay. When I can play, Everything seems fine. It could be an issue with the refresh rate on your monitor. Have you tried enabling VSYNC and/or setting the resolution to match your monitor’s native resolution? What size is your display? Can you elaborate on your setup? ---

Enabled Vsync, set to correct resolution, turned down the brightness and also turned my graphics below what I normally set them to to get high framerate.
