Thread: Osttrupen Tactics20 Mar 2014, 23:41 PM VonMecha, in your strat sounds like a really good idea to throw down a LOT of tellars, seen as you dominate territory early and have the ressource ability. Then again, thats going to slow down building tanks, if you use the ability too much. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: COH2 causing me Migranes?19 Mar 2014, 18:07 PM I always have the light on, and blinds open during the day. I will make a point to take a few mins between games to rest eyes. Ill give it a go lowering the brightness too. I remember a teacher at school having an anti glare filter that fitted to the front on his monitor. I wasnt very keen on the look of it though.

Thread: COH2 causing me Migranes?19 Mar 2014, 11:06 AM Its often quite like a stress head ache, but sometimes I get really sensitive to light, and my appetite goes, feel slightly sick, pain killers dont touch it and only sleep will shift it. Ive not had my eyes checked in donkeys, so really need to do that. After that could check with my doctor I guess. I stay reasonably hydrated, dont drink much, sometimes dont get enough sleep though with working shifts. The annoying thing is the fact I didnt have a single one for 3 months while not playing coh lol. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: COH2 causing me Migranes?18 Mar 2014, 23:08 PM I could possibly get a headache eventually playing another game.. but only for quite a long time, which is to be expected for anyone staring at a screen for that length of time. V-sync is currently On, which I think was default for my hardware. Settings all on medium. Top resolution with 60Htz frequency, only other option for freqency is 59.94Htz.. not sure if that would make any difference. I will try it without v-sync and see how that is. Its not that it ALWAYS gives me a headache.. but certainly often enough for it to be noticable that it is playing coh that is bringing it on. EDIT: Just read up on refresh rates and v-sync (should know all this but forgoten lol). Not really worth turning v-sync off, as it would just allow my card to overwork when my monitor is limited to 60Htz. Also higher refresh rate is best for less eye strain. Maybe a monitor that could handle 120Htz might help reduce my head aches.. but then Im not very excited at the prospect of buying a new monitor.

Thread: COH2 causing me Migranes?18 Mar 2014, 16:18 PM Yeah I can play FPS games for ages and ages absolutely fine, well I used to not really any more. I've already got all settings really low, appart from resolution which is high. I could try tinkering some more maybe: I do think it has a lot to do with the level of concentration that the game can demand. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: COH2 causing me Migranes?18 Mar 2014, 13:58 PM Im actually really relaxed, and Ive been winning some easy games comfortably and still getting it. Its hurting me just to look at the screen now.. lol. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: COH2 causing me Migranes?18 Mar 2014, 13:18 PM I played a lot of coh2 before christmas, and was getting a lot of migrane style headaches. Then I had a 3 month break and Ive been totally headache free, normal computer use does not bring it on, and I think other games are fine too. But Ive just started playing coh2 again this week, and even between 1-2 hours of playing is enough to bring on a headache. Anyone got any thoughts? Maybe I can adjust my settings to help? I could do with getting an eye test to make sure its not that. This totally sucks, it effects me for the rest of my day at work etc. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: New Air Superiority Doctrine17 Mar 2014, 19:21 PM They could make 'make your own doctines'.. so long as each individual unit/ability blocked out any that would be too OP with it. Granted it would still be tricky to make sure some combinations were not too good. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Counter for the Turtle Tactic on Certain Maps16 Mar 2014, 17:59 PM Yeah Areohank is right. I never suggested trying to turtle from that start, you should always be aggressive. But sometimes Germans just get set up, there's nothing you can do about it every single time, so when it does happen, you need to be prepared with a plan to crack them, and simply assaulting with cons and tanks is not going to work in this situation.
