More on epilepsy in Cliffs of Dover

Thanks for that Luthier, no one would believe me when i told this lot it wasn't Ubi's fault,

apologies below please.

As someone said before, minus a couple of FPS ok, minus 10+ FPS no go! I'm sorry but I simply can't invest in any new hardware (gotta a wee one in the pipeline) and if the game won't run smoothly on my rig - and I don't want to scale it down to early 90's flight sim - then I simply won't buy it.

I have read elsewhere that they dropped the epilepsy rule a year ago.

You have no idea, about the meetings between Ubi and 1c so STFU your full of assumptions that you have no means of verifying!!!

What have small dairy cows got to do with it...the plot thickens!!!!!

Looks like I'll be waiting a while longer before I get this game.

Shame, I was looking forward to it.

Bad show all round.

the issue is not only with the US, but also UK:

Some games manufacturers have already begun pre-screening their latest games. These manufacturers include Ubisoft, the games developer responsible for the title that triggered a seizure in Gaye’s son. These manufacturers are demonstrating a conscientious attitude towards the safety of gamers. They inspire some confidence that regulations may not be necessary if manufacturers will all voluntarily screen their products. But would all manufacturers be as conscientious?

“The games industry has tried to be responsible,” says John. “But if measures remain voluntary, there is the possibility that a small-scale manufacturer from another part of the world may not adhere to it. You may get one or two rogue games creeping through. Nevertheless, starting off with a voluntary approach may be the fastest way to get this done. Getting laws through Parliament is a slow and careful process. A voluntary code may be the fastest way to get a lot of the benefit, even if the system is not perfect.”

What if this happens on a staircase? Or while climbing up a tree?

I find this a somewhat specious argument. I don't believe there is a 'good' way to have an epileptic fit.

But, whatever - I'm not really arguing. I just don't think the more self-serving opinions being catapulted about this forum are entirely representative of the issues at stake.

Perhaps I'm lucky in that my PC died recently (motherboard or cpu - both were neolithic anyway). I was going to wait a month or so before working out the spec for a new 'beast-rig' and, consequently, I get to watch developments with a certain emotional detachment.

By the time I get round to playing, I have faith that the issues will be resolved. Why do I have faith you ask - it is simple: watching the attention given to the original Il2 over the many years since it launched.

I guess if 1c/MG/Ubi would pay for upgrading my rig I'd buy it but how can you expect people to buy something that will be barely playable? No problems for people with deep pockets but for the rest of us?

It seems that because of epilepsy-gate muzzleflashes, sparks and flying debree have been removed as well from current version of CoD. But the game sounds very good ..

So is this issue past tense ie solved with this filter, or does it have to be added now?
Secondly is the game safe to play? I dont wanna spaz out and end up foaming at the mouth as epilepsy can start at any point in someones life I heard.
