Anti-epilepsy filter?

[Ltbear]

Not sure what to say, but i stick with IL2 1946 with the "cant talk about em" so far i have not seen something that "blew me away" and i actualy have been saving money up so i could upgrade the puter when i had the game.

Those 200$ will now go to upgrade the RC 1/16 tank park and i will add the T-34 and the jagdpanther..

Sorry Oleg and Co but will use a known frace....."Im getting to old for this shitzz"

A NOTE ABOUT EPILEPSY
I would like to point out that epilepsy is a serious issue, people sometimes can go through their entire life never knowing they have epilepsy until they play a video game.

It may surprise some people to know that almost everyone, and I mean everyone, will have an epileptic seizure at least once on their life. These seizures will 99% of the time only last for a split second and you will most likely never know you've had one. But epilepsy has varying levels of severity, and as you'll know there are those people that suffer from its symptoms on a regular basis, sometimes hourly. If you've ever been close to someone or know someone who suffers from it, it is a scary experience to behold.

So ... I completely understand why Oleg and Luthier have to implement this limitation to CoD.

Now to my position on this ... I'm going to sound contradictory here but anyway ...

Well that is it then, this is a deal breaker for me. I'm not directing this at Oleg and his team personally, but I don't spend $$$$ (yes $thousands$) on having a high end gaming system with multi-gpu's to have my gaming experience nerfed by some legal - suit wearing - OMG we'll be sued - dickless yupi. This has just taken things too far, it is sufficient (in my eyes) to simply place a warning message on the manual and even a pop-up message on screen before the game starts. Personally I'd advise Oleg and Team to seek their own legal advise AND DITCH UBI ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!!!

It pains me to say this but I've cancelled my order. I'll stick with IL-2

P.S.

You make it sound like its a bad thing Luthier . Seriously, I understand and I feel sorry for you guys having to deal with this situation.

Many notches up in respect for you Tree for this. A lot of game publishers have agreed to this due to pressure from legislators - so blaming Ubisoft is just silly. Look at this thread over at the Rift forum for example (major title released a few weeks ago - not published by Ubisoft!):

When my youngest son was born he had serious epileptic seizures and was on so heavy medication for a year that his muscles where not developing and his lungs where filled with water as he was so heavily affected by it. I can tell you that was nothing I joke about these days...

Then I can agree that adding an option for users that want to disable it naturally would be the best solution. Be it in the config files if they cannot comply to the legislative demands otherwise.

This Epilepsy thing is just a smoke screen to buy the dev's more time to get this game running, its never affected any other Ubisoft release and has been implemented since 2008. I dont buy it at all - oh Zapatrista eat your shorts son.

So it's a conspiracy then is it? I think it's more of a last minute deal. I don't see where you get such a crazy idea. Surely it wasn't planned to be implemented into the game until recently when Ubisoft got their greedy hands all over it. Last minute things like this often have bad side effects.

Does epilepsy filter also create CRAP sound?

I knew Ubi would fumble the release, but I never dreamed they could f *ck it up the arse to this extent.

That being said, I reckon the anti epilepsy excuse sounds like total bullish*t. Any other company would add a disclaimer in their terms and conditions that you agree too when you install. We're not getting the whole story here.
