When I play this game...

**Poison-** · 05-24-2011, 08:38 PM

My eyes start to water as soon as notes appear on the screen. It just started happening recently. I don't have allergies so I know it's not that. Watery eyes make this game extremely hard to play and it gets really frustrating when I can't get the scores I know I can be getting.
Anyone else have this problem or something similar?

Happens sometimes. Take a break, get some air and whatnot. LCD screens do that. Mess around with the screen brightness/contrast to see if it helps.

I'm guessing you don't blink enough since you're staring at the screen which is the normal thing to do while playing ffr and it's causing you to get dry eyes which makes your body produce tears making the watery effects. Maybe take a small break between songs until you feel like you're okay. I had this happen to me on songs that are like 4min+, but it eventually stopped.. Not sure if the lack of humidity in the air can cause this..

Happens to me EVERY TIME I think of it. What I do, is play a few songs I don't really care about AAA or doing good on, then I'll focus on the blinking again haha.

Go outside.

I get the blinking thing I also get the urge to stare at my mouse arrow when i'm doing good

**DarknessXoXLight** · 05-25-2011, 02:43 AM

My eyes don't water but they blur for some reason all the time. I have to really strain my eyes to focus on the arrows clearly so I feel your pain.

Wish I had a solution for us.

**MaxGhost** · 05-25-2011, 02:47 AM

I get dizzy with some files. Some files like Epic just throw off my eyes completely, it's messed up as hell. My vision will get blurry and I need to keep moving my head or something so it constantly focuses. It's super weird.

**lumphoboextreme** · 05-25-2011, 03:04 AM

yeah i had the same problem when i was getting 200 mil a day every day. i just glare into the center of the screen now instead of trying to perfectly read every note i just take in patterns. can still get AAA's on good comps too. *shrug*

**Zageron** · 05-25-2011, 03:07 AM

VELO

Y U NOT?

Am I the only one? :<

But yeah that happens when the air is too dry.

**rushyrulz** · 05-25-2011, 04:44 AM

I kinda get tunnel vision when I play long songs and I'm trying to concentrate really hard. They don't ever really water tho lol.

I use this program called F.lux

http://stereopsis.com/flux/

not sure if it really helps, but it changes the contrast every hour depending on the day/night
Gives it a more warm tone and it might help a bit

tomokon · 05-25-2011, 08:37 PM

sometimes it could trippin me out

I tend to get watery eyes on long songs like Holy Orders and Return of Salieri, causing me to majorly derp the ending.

Main piece of advice I have is to time your blinks so that you do it during easy parts of the song and let muscle memory take care of the arrows that come up while your vision is momentarily interrupted.

I just downloaded that flux program, it's pretty sweet!!
