Wile I was doing some testing just to see what graphics setting changes did relative to the setting I have been using it seams that either
A: Anti epilepsy filter has NO performance hit as it dose nothing so is merely a placebo.
Or
B: Anti epilepsy filter despite being disabled/enabled via the game options (in graphics setting) and confirmed as being off/on in the conf.ini (Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover) is permanently on.
Or
C: as per B: but permanently off
I come to this conclusion because I have been using the fraps benchmark to capture average min & max frame as well as total number of frames over a period of precisely 160sec of a test .trk file which involves descending from 2000ft wile making a 90deg turn onto final before landing so encompasses ground detail changes as you descend.
During testing of the game of the SAME graphics setting the standard deviation in total frames rendered over 160sec was <31 frames with the average frame rate deviation being <0.205 frames (this is prior to testing the anti epilepsy filter specifically)
When testing repeatedly with same .trk file with the same graphics setting & restarting the game after enabling or disabling the anti epilepsy filter (so as also to confirm the change in the conf.ini file) the change in either total frames rendered, average frame rate or minimum and maximum frame rate values was the same and well within the standard deviation noted above, also when graphics resolutions were changed or graphics detail options changed and were tested with anti epilepsy filter “on” & “off” the results matched each other for like for like settings.
Both “EpilepsyFilter=0” & “EpilepcyFilter=0” have been tried at the same time in both the conf.ini locations.
Also during a couple of test task manager was run in the background recording CPU etc use during the playing of the .trk file, when the graphs were viewed for the anti epilepsy filter “on” & “off” there was virtually no difference to the peaks and troughs of CPU use, RAM use etc.
So as far as I can see and detect by empirical testing there is a lack of ability to enable or disable the anti epilepsy filter and one must assume that it must be ON all the time or is a placebo. :rolleyes:
