So you see that snow trickling down the edges of your screen- yeh?

Can I turn it off. Seriously. It's making me dizzy and I kinda feel I'll. I can barely type all this out in one go, so if others have complained also; just add me to the pile.

I guess I'll have to come back to the forums after the motion sickness snow disappears.

Ugh...

Motion sickness from a digitized background snowfall, eh?

Do yourself a favor and don't ever play Half-Life 2 on a large monitor/screen, especially the waterboat levels. Buddy of mine about hurled after I made him play it, and complained the next two days about motion sickness form playing.

I laughed and made fun of him. A lot.

Change your desktop to a lower resolution and you won't even see it.

Do that thing where you hit ctrl and the mouse wheel to make the image bigger until they're off the side. It's pretty distracting to me, as well.

That level turned me off from that game. Got a blighter of a headache from that level.

And the snow isn't that bad guys, just look down when you're typing if it's that bad.

The snow follows your mouse cursor. I doubt this will help, I'm just saying...
I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed that.
I thought I was going mad.

OT: No idea if you can turn it off or not.

Assassins creed was the only game that ever made me feel ill. And it put it mostly down to the lag...

On a more positive note Ive just put my browser into windowed mode, and knocked off the edges. My 1440x900 resolution is too crisp to bother changing.
