TL;DR Are there any settings that can be messed with in games that can help reduce motion sickness or headaches?
So I originally started playing Genshin Impact on the PS4, but eventually started a second account on my PC. My PC is about 6 or 7 years old now, but it was pretty beefy when I built it (well, my friends built it, but I paid for it) so I was very impressed with how much better it looked. I was also taken by surprise by the headaches I was getting almost every time I played. They were very similar to what I used to sometimes get when I played the old sprite based FPS games too long. Sometimes Genshin would let me play for a couple hours, other times I'd have 15 minutes, tops. PS5 comes along and the game looks even better (though I think the colors are better on the PC) and no headaches. When I play regularly on the PC, I build up an immunity and can generally play it longer, but if I set it aside for awhile and come back, the headaches start happening again.
PS4, PS5, and the PC are all hooked up to the same TV and sound system. I use the same controller and sit in the same couch. What could be going on with the PC version that's sometimes giving me headaches?
