THey didn't state before release because theyr were working on it non stop, there is a 500mb patch launched already. They were hoping to sort things out before, or immediately after the launch of the sim. It didnt work out, the problem is here and its big.

There is hope that Russian publisher 1C will back down on this epilepsy crap. Where that would leave western gamers- do not know.

Explains why Oleg and Luthier disapearred four weeks ago. Good luck to them sorting it out. I wonder how their Russian customers feel having had their sim release screwed by a western publisher? It's clear that Ubi require this filter to be ON in any game sold in its sphere. That should solve the epilepsy problem as given its current state nobody will be playing it.

And I'd just like to add that making the game safe for epileptics is and admirable and righteous thing that should be an industry wide aspiration.

+1 however this kind of thing takes time to implement. And UBI wouldve known that to enforce this on Ilya and Co. would cause a lot of problems particularily so late in development.

Also, no imagery on TV and PC can prevent Epilepsy, im sure that scientists can prove that, that is a total myth, and totally irresponsible claim. Just switching on a Nintendo couldve given that boy a seizure. Perhaps they should recall all TVs, PC Monitors, and Consoles aswell to make sure that the screens light up slowly... food for thought, i wonder how much that would cost them. no i doubt they would open that can of worms. Until someone sues over it.

This sucks ass... so many years for this flight sim to be done and Ubisoft had to screw it up like this... I am not so sure now I will be getting this sim, I have preordered it last week and now I'll just ask for refund... this is not the way to go...

Well this kills my thoughts on purchasing on release date in the US. Steam was already making me worried due to issues I had with COD MW, but after reading around the forums I thought it may not be as bad in CoD. This new feature kills it for me, I'll wait to see what people experience and make my judgement in December, the game should be in the bargain bin by then anyway. Also this gives me more time to save for a rig upgrade (looks like I'll need one anyway).

Now I am honostly looking forward to IL-2 4.11

Aw stink aye!

A note to people suggesting that the devs wont be sued...thats not the issue. The issue is that UBI fears to be sued. They fear that if they are sued, the company will die.
Thing is, with such a plociy implimented, the lack of sales for the product will likewise cause the company to die.

Remember what happened with GTA 4 SA with the "hot coffee". Even having the ability to mod the game and allow access to that disabled content was enough to have the game either reclassified, or even pulled from shelves.

There is a lot to consider with this, and a simple warning is not enough to stop vultures (sorry...litigation lawyers) from trying to make a name and killing for themselves.

I agree, it sucks, it is stupid, it is grossly over compensatory for the "protection" of a small minority (those who suffer from epilepsy).

Its much safer for a person to discover they have epilepsy when they are sitting at a computer at home rather than when they learn to drive, crash and kill several innocent bystanders.

Cannot 1C re-release it themselves to the Western market? after all they are a publisher right? in a new fully patched up boxed version and do whatever they need to do graphically? we wanted the realistic flight experience, that is ruined with this propellor crap that Ubisoft want.

""Where it is not reasonably practicable to follow the Ofcom guidance, and where broadcasters can demonstrate that the broadcasting of flashing lights and/or patterns is editorially justified, viewers should be given an adequate verbal and also, if appropriate, text warning at the start of the programme or programme item."

Quite simply, IL2 is a realistic flight simulator and therefore as it is representing realistic flying of aircraft which will involved flickerring images as experienced by real WW2 pilots, this game is not suitable for viewing by people with epilepsy.

End of story, that warning would be legal!! there was no need to mess up the sim.

Ubisoft are not the publishers in Russia, well that my understanding so why they have put the filter on is very strange?
