Re: Eye Strain

The color blue is an artistic choice, while the blue background lightning is not good the blue filter in the game has little to do with "damaging your eyes". Monitors are bad for your eyes, not really Battlefield in particular. My best advice is you suffer from eye-strain - get a proper high refresh rate monitor that can lower the brightness and perhaps get some monitor glasses.

    As @Carbonic said: it is not the game, but looking at the monitor for hours a day, that can damage your eyes and cause eye-strain, headaches and so on. Blue light might cause these problems. I have tried monitor glasses myself, but I don´t like having everything tinted yellow during my workdays and playing games. I much more like adjusting the color output of my monitor or using foil filters, you can apply to the monitor screen.
    However, what really causes eye-strain and headaches is the fact, that your eyes are focusing on the constant distance between you and your monitor. If you are like me (spending half of the day looking at monitors), you should start a habbit of looking somewhere else every couple minutes. The best option is to have a window behind your monitor, so your eyes can focus to the distance outside. Doing this worked wonders for me personally.
  • Guys as i said at the start of this thread. It's not an issue caused by how much time i spend on PC or how close i am to the monitor.


    I repeat that i have currently installed and i currently play (in my free time ofc):


    Battlefield Bad Company 2

    Battlefield 3

    Battlefield 4

    Battlefield 1


    and other non EA games wich have many details. My laptop is an Alienware and i have a great FullHD screen wich always worked amazingly fine.

    When i play all games of this world i have no issue.


    When i started playing battlefield V my eyes and then my head started hurting. Before giving up with this game i played it for almost 39 hours.

    I even had a positive K/D


    This game as a redditor wrote is a *cluster(censored)* for the senses (i post here the link where he describes what makes this game so hard to play with): https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/comments/am3l9u/bf5_visibility_is_killing_me/


    I appreciate that you are trying to help me. But i needed 3 days to get my health back. I'm still playing BF1 and i'm really fine and it's a beatiful thing chilling while playing it without feeling bad.


    And i repeat again i tried to fix the colors, exposure and even add night vision filter to make game less eye hurting.


    No way. Shadows and lighting are a mess.


    Devs didn't build a bad lighting system on purpose forcing TAA ON ? Well. So the logic answer is: they had no skill to make this game comfortable for everybody.


    It's no just about me, there are many players that gave up with BFV due to this issue. Google it.

    I'm disappointed because i like this game but i can't play it to save my eyes.

    @Desert3142 Well, giving advise on how you might have a better experience playing the game, is the only thing we can do for you. The options are quiet simple:
    - use our advice (glasses, filters, color settings of the game/monitor), and hopefully this might change your experience
    - quit playing the game

    The game is not under developement anymore, so it is not going to change anymore. 🙂
  • I followed your advices but they didn't solve my issue.

    Nvidia shadowplay filters and even reshade didn't help. And this is ok since they are just filters!. They can't modify contrast, color, shadows and glare values of the game.

    So!, i give up.

    I thank you for your time.

  • Laptops are usually equpped with 13", 15" and 17" screens. I don't think that 15" is small. BTW


    I recorded some gameplay from 5 different maps (MARITA included, just for scientific purposes).

    As i said it's not an issue related to my IPS screen.

    These gameplays were uploaded directly on youtube after being recorded using nvidia shadowplay. I didn't edit anything.

    P.S. I noticed that youtube scaled down to 720p my videos. If you want to watch them on higher res i can try to record them again on 1080p.

    maybe it was intended to actually blind player however causing en eye strain because of it is a bit funny =)

    I'd say you still can have a bad monitor on your laptop even though it's IPS.

    Otherwise not much options:

    -set motion blur to 0
    -try with dx12
