Damn This Game Is Ruining My Eyes

[LetsGoBowling]

Talk about a sensory overload, all the flashing lights and so forth. Its a wonder I haven't had a seizure yet. I think I'm going to have to get a better graphics card. Does anyone else feel like this when playing? Also, the menu is a jumbled up mess making it difficult to navigate and organise what I am doing.

are you playing with lights on in the room your playing in? i find that in general i have to play super colorful games in a well lit room, or it will hurt my eyes after some time ill get disoriented etc.

Turn off Motion Blur, Lense Flare, Depth of Field, Chromatic Abration and Film Grain, and then go into nvidia control panel and set image sharpening to 1.00

it will make a big difference, much easier on the eyes, sharper and clearer

also keep in mind that some missions after you wait or sit, and then get up the game will be stuck in a zoomed in state sometimes, to fix this, just save your game, and then reload your gamesave, this problem screws up the FOV which can also effect the eyes

Plus I get this weird flashing light with steam vents. Sometimes I can even see palm trees that are in the distance flash up on the screen.

You don't need to use steam to run Cyberpunk 2077. Try it,,,it just may help.

the game does have occasional graphic glitches from time to time, but not seen anything out of the ordinary with steam vents they work good here (using a GTX 1070)

What GPU are you using, also culling some visual settings might change how the graphic intensity is displayed.

Sadly most people play games in dim litted if not all dark rooms.. not a good idea, I have even seen people with IPS monitors play in full dark rooms........
They also often have contrast 5times higher than they should.

That being said, I reckon some people don´t like all the flashy lights etc. That is also a perfectly valid subjective opinion.

I'm using the GTX 1070 too, and have the graphics set to low. I'm still tinkering and experimenting with different settings to see what works and what doesn't. Cyberpunk 2077 has to be one of the most graphically demanding games I've ever seen. Shame I don't have the sort of equipment people like Linus from tech tips does! lol

One of my pet hates about this game is how the screen reacts when V is on low health. I didn't know that V being messed up can make me feel messed up too. Myself, Johnny Silverhand and V are all living in the same head, in-tune with each other. Talk about a brain dance.... lol

This is only about the 4th game I come across that has pushed my 1070 to its limits

3 others that have done it is Ghost Recon Wildlands, Metro Exodus and RDR2

I plan to get a 3060 or 3070 eventually but they are hard to get a hold of with all the GPU shortages right now at the normal retail price, everyone is price gouging the little stock that is left

[LetsGoBowling]

I've been reading up and I've heard that some people are hoarding 3080 graphics cards. Which is probably why they are so expensive, supply and demand.

People will be dumping gpu's at the end of 2022 if you want to get them cheap

+1. Just turning off the blur, aberration, lens flare, and depth of field should be enough, as they all force the image to have a blur / mega bright effect. Also, switch motion sway to weapon only, and turn off any rag doll effects (screen shake) in the options.

Rofl.. that does not sound very nice..
You could always play it on Playstation 3, then you wont have any flashy graphics
