I'm absolutely loving getting into VR at the moment so after a week of messing about with Beat Saber and other little quest apps I picked up Half Life Alyx on sale but OMG after a couple of hours I felt so sick I had to stop playing. Has anyone else had this happen, is this just because I'm new to it or is there any tips to get over it, it won't put me off bit suddenly a 2 hour battery life doesn't seem to be an issue cause I doubt I could manage more than an hour and a bit at a time.
 
I'm playing through virtual desktop using 90hz and am getting 866mbp/s, I'll check the numbers but think everything is fine.
I'm using continuous movement using my head for direction, the teleport thing seemed like a dumb idea and couldn't work out why anyone would want that...think I've worked out why now.
Weirdly I didn't have any issues in project cars 2 or Dirt Rally 2 but felt weird as soon as I moved on half life
 
Got some ginger beer now so will see if that helps, it's quite nice actually so thanks for that tip.
Haven't managed to run into a wall yet but I did punch one playing super hot (haven't got a massive play area).
Managed about an hour if Alyx doing the walking on the spot thing and actually turning which seemed to help. I will take it slow and hopefully get over it in time because I'm absolutely loving VR.
