Hello folks,
Please forgive me, I am not insinuating anything negative or rude. I just have a comment on this topic as it pretty much ended my FPS gaming about 10 plus years ago. I am actually just attempting to start up gaming again myself. Just built my 3rd rig in the past 4 months and am having a heck of a time just getting Wolfenstein II to play for more than 10 minutes without dropping off and returning me back to my desktop. I believe it to be something within the Steam server. I am not accustomed to playing games from a server or with one running in the back-round. I was strictly a single-person gamer back in the day and now it's all different.
This is my 1st posting here at this forum and I have been reading for a few hours this afternoon, enjoying every minute!
My comment to this thread is that,this exact thing happened to me back in 06-07 sometime while I was getting started with one of the Ghost recon or Call of duty titles. I became nauseous and developed to a headache that took hour or so to clear. I feel that for me it was just me getting of an age that my mind, and body could just not handle it anymore. My solution eventually was to start playing role playing games and getting away from fps.It most certainly worked. The Ghost recon series were easier to tolerate of course, but eventually I just took my gaming obsession and set it aside for other obsessions that had nothing to do with PC's . I'm truly hoping that maybe it was a technical thing that with today's modern, or I should say more modern technology can be overcome. Otherwise I don't know what i will do with rig i just built, a little much for surfing the net. Especially since I have another rig behind me that I primarily use for that. Oh well, you can't take it with you!
I am determined to start having some fun again with the PC. I retired just over a year ago and have been having the time of my life. But now I am loving the hands on building of PC's and trying to catch up with more modern technology. Whew, It is sometimes overwhelming. So here I am in the forums settling down, reading and posting once in a while when I think I may be of some assistance.
I think I will go work on my profile. That is if they still have those anymore.........
