I apologize in advance if this comes across as a silly n00b question.
I only started playing (and subscribed) yesterday, even though I learned about EVE more than two years ago. So far, I found the game quite awesome - the graphics, the ship designs, and the mysterious objects in space.
However, the shaky, grey tunnel animation is making me SICK. I get a dull headache after doing 5-6 jumps, and feel slightly nauseous. I feel the same from some FPS games, which is why I *never* play them.
Is there a checkbox to turn off the tunnel?
I would love to continue playing EVE and explore everything it has to offer. However, if I cannot turn this off, I will just let my subscription run out and move on.
Once again, I apologize if it is a silly question - but nobody in Rookie Chat could help me.
On another note, I just wonder if there is another MMO where I could play a "bad guy" (that's why I came to EVE). Any advice on this? |

It's not that hard...

I know you are not trying to be nice.
But believe it or not, I DID try to close the ol' blinkers. Problem is, I don't know when the tunnel effect is over. And when I open my eyes right at the moment the next system appears, the effect is positively vertigo-inducing..
As in, I almost lost my dinner.
Sorry, this is a non-solution for me  |

I do, from certain movies (shot handheld or with steadicam), or FPS games.
Interestingly, my father is exactly the same way, so I guess it runs in the family. My gf does not have this problem, but she hates being in the back seat of the car (for almost the same reason) :) |

I guess you play without World Sound ? You can hear when the transition is over,
because it makes a distinct noise at the end of it ...
I play with sound off. Don't like headphones, and don't want to wake half the house at night with a loud whoosh :) |

WHOA - that is one LONG thread!
So am I right in understanding that:
* other people feel sick from this?
* there is no "off" checkbox so far?
I know there is a new point release coming on Tuesday... Is this going to be fixed by then? |

i don't get the same feeling from a non-moving screen. especially if i'm just sitting in front of it not moving myself.
i feel bad for you. it must suck =p
Thanks... It most certainly does SUCK.
Which is why I decided to post here to maybe find a solution...
IRL, I every time I go scuba-diving, I take antihistamines, because I know it won't be fun if I don't take them. But I can't do that every time I play EVE :))) I would just be too sleepy, and popping these pills every day can't be good for me.
