    Well, I have been playing a little Bioshock lately, the game looks great but it gives me a headache!

    I feel like I am constantly zoomed in, like walking around with a sniper rifle or something!! Is there any Fix for the Field of View?? because this is driving me nuts!!! I heard that this game doesnt really support widescreen, thats why the field of view is limited..

    Any help would be very appreciated, because otherwise I will be deinstalling this game.

    thanks a lot.

    Heh, I usually get headaches from fast paced first person shooters (CoD4 multiplayer is the worse) ><

    Its because of the FOV. You can change this in the settings under horizontal fix or something similar.

    grab some dramamine or chew on some ginger. if it's motion sickness you're feeling these will help.

    Is your laptop WUXGA?

    If the game doesnt support widescreen mode, this is the only (strange) solution I can think of.

    Change the screen resolution to a 16:10 one. WSXGA+ if you have WUXGA. It will be stretched sideways, but when the game runs it could work?

    Sounds stupid I know.
