Ban shoes because you can walk over cliffs of Dover with them, fall on rocks and die.

IMHO all this,its true that is a little''shocking'', but im very confident on your team. First of all the release date itself posed me some doubts, seemed rushed in some aspects. But some may say, ''but you were developing for 6 years or so!''
Me atleast , i was honestly surprised for the release too, but was concerned a little.... maybe because i experienced the Silent Hunter series and offcourse SH5..
positevely, im really looking forward about your product, that im looking to buy (since 2006) and i think that ( i suppose) that the biggest risk now is the maybe lack of further oprimisation( or some decisions of the moment due to time limitation) that will come later on. I say that because AFAIK review sites usually review the product at first release( that is my concern for the try to widen the audience).
Nevertheless, i support you, and furthermore, i have to thank you for your time these past months to try answer and clarify misunderstatements. You are responsible also for my love in planes due to IL-2 ( that in my opinion is a sort of wwii air-encyclopedia)
So, I wish the very best for all of you, and for this project too

That's the spirit!
+1.000.000!!!

Removing the filter on the western version can only be done when we've individually fixed all flashes, and there's no longer the need for the epilepsy filter.

So, it is cristal clear now: the UBI western version of the game will have this filter removed only after all the individual fixes for flashes will be in.

Which means, the UBI western release of the game will be forever crippled (because all the individual flashes fixes actually reads invisible propellers arc, and so on..)

Time to make some friends in Russia, and ask Luthier to internationalize (add english) in the russian version of the game.

So, Luthier, can at least this be made?

Luthier thanks for being honest with us about the problems. It actually makes me feel more confident about purchasing your product. I hope you are all able to get the major bugs worked out in time for the NA release, but even if you haven't I already have my copy on pre-order, and look forward to crashing my virtual plane lot next month.

[sappy]Only a few devs I have any faith in and 1C Maddox is amongst them. Thank you for being forth coming and quelling rumors, and for all the dedication of the entire development team at 1C Maddox. [/sappy]

no idea what that entails, but i hope its not an overly invasive task

Two weeks, I tell ya. Why even release it for the rest of the world then?

YESS!

A "english - patch" for the russian version and a russian distributor delivering to germany!!!
Amerika shouldn't be the measure for all things!

And that's the way to go. All today's soft needs some sort of "agreeing upon" in order to use it. Put ME back in charge of choosing my poison.

Thanks for nothing, now I'll have to see if I can cancel my already prepaid Steam version!!!!

I'm sorry, but the more I am looking at it, and the more I see the way UBI/1C/Maddox guys are reacting, the more I am convinced the "epilepsy filter" problem is not real.

In other words, you are saying that Luthier is not telling us the truth, and to add more, you say there is a conspiracy to make us believe that the game's issues are not related to poor coding ?

Hum...That is interesting indeed...

Salute !

This situation is so disappointing. Honestly I still don't see how this is anyones fault but UBI. If the devs had gone with any other publisher we wouldn't be in this mess.

At this point what needs to happen is for UBI to release them from the obligation to have the game epilepsy safe, go back to pre-anti-epilepsy code, and put a big disclaimer on start-up. I don't think anything less would satisfy everyone at this point.
