Eyestrain & headaches

[psp88]

anyone getting these when playing GTpsp for long periods of time?

I do.

Please see your doctor or don't stare at the screen for too close. Always play in a well lit room as well and take breaks.

Eyestrain & headaches no. The occasional cramped hands: yes.

Don't you remember the "Health Warning" from Gran Turismo manual?

For your health, rest about 15 minutes for each hour of play. Avoid playing when tired or suffering from lack of sleep. Always play in a brightly lighted room, and stay as far from the television (psp) screen as possible...

Yeah, having eyestrain and headaches is probably something that you wanna talk to your doctor about. They even say when the game is booting up that you wanna see a doctor if anything like that happens, so I would definitely suggest it.

This is also in every instruction manual for every games console and software. Go see a doctor.

You may need some seeing enhancers......glasses!

We are not doctors but take a 15 min break after a while. Just but it down if if it pains you in any way. My hands hurt after an hour or so and i just turn it off and pick up where i left of later.

I have a simple solution. Put your screen on bright (so the power runs down quicker), play in a well lit room, and never outplay your PSP's battery life. Basically don't play with the charger wire plugged in.

Disclaimer: does not work if you have more than one PSP

The only game that ever gave me headaches and severe eye strain was Killzone2... I couldn't play for more than 15 mins. I sold it for that reason.

I get eyestrain from all PSP racing games. But I have crap eyesight anyway. My doctor says its fine and nothing to worry about. *Shrugs*

My hands go numb after an hour of time attacking. But then when I switched to playing with a ds3, never happens.

Same problem here, but I can't use your solution.

Again, I envy you.

 

[Shigegaki]

please I envy you, between you and Yavy now. My times are horrible. Hopefully C4 will change things around

 

[Glubags]

It probably will.. I'm not a huge fan of midfield, and the Ford GT is an absolute tire shredder.

Cramped hands!!! Esp. the Right Hand

 

[kekke2000]

Well... My hands doze off when I play myself to sleep (no references intended), and I definetly get eyestrain! But no headache.... yet.

 

[nk4e]

Wow,wrong thread but its either dedication that gets you or pure craziness!

 

[Yenrot]

Well eyestrain, pins and needles/numb hands and I got cramp on my 40th lap of the Test Track. I wanted the Pescarlo!

My hands get me way before my eyes, I use it as a natural, "Put the PSP down and do something else." timer.
