I'm in no way a fanboy of Ubisoft or any publisher. In my opinion they are like the record companies and I would be happy if they where eliminated in the same way as we see the record companies are going these days with iTunes and Spotify expanding their market every day. I would be a lot happier to buy my games at online stores directly from the developers instead (like with the DCS titles)

I also bought SH V and sure as hell think that it was a real disappointment. SH III with GWX 3.0 is not - and that was also published by Ubisoft when no other major publishers where releasing serious sub sims any more...

What I do have a problem with is all the "i hate Ubisoft/DRM/Steam/everything" attitude here.

EDIT: And yes like I posted earlier here I have a son that almost died after serious epeleptic seizures that came three days after he was born. If you have children yourself and have been standing next to a bed with three days old baby with wires all over his head and 3-4 injections of heavy anti seizure drugs I guess you would have a bit more respect for companies that take this seriously. For a year he had so heavy medication that he could not even rise his head until he was 6 months as he had no muscles due to the heavy medication. Now he is amazingly enough fine They did tests for more than $50.000 and could never explain it - it just went away when he was one year old.

Now he is five and like to sit and play computer games with me, his older brother is not much for aircraft be he is. If you had a son like that - would you have the filter on or off? Would you appreciate that it was there? They have said they don't know why it happened - and it may come back... When being exposed to stuff like computer games for example. So then don't let him play then you may answer? But his older brother plays a lot like all of his friends.

So ????

It would've bothered me, from a developer/publisher point-of-view, if they would've done exactly that.

Not revealing that a software has issues/problems/bugs/"weird features" at release is the way it's been for decades, for good reason.

further to that see Buzzsaw's post below

Check out the comments of the guy who CAN run it.

'disabling dynamic weather'. Surely some of them can't be flying around with dynamic weather ON???!

Can they?

Im sorry Oleg team but im not gonna buy a product from Ubisoft wich is made BROKEN the last few weeks to make UBI happy.

Either it works or it doesnt and it seems it doesnt... So either give me an option to turn it off or im simply not buying it with reduced FPS by some filter that 1 person of 25000 needs

And thats that.

What the heck do you think you know about epilepcy? It is considered that between 0.5-1% of all people have it - but many don't know, until one day playing a video game or beeing exposed to other triggering factors.

Well I for one hate UBI, but if you look through the many posts I've made on the past few weeks I've been pro "DRM/Steam/everything" but this issue is just nonsense.

The more I think about it the more I'm starting to question it. Why CoD and why now. There are many games released in the last three years by UBI that allow for Crossfire and SLI support.

I've just bought the entire Splinter Cell series (one of UBI's signature IP games) off Steam yesterday, just finished downloading them, and guess what they ALL support Crossfire. The Crossfire Icon is displaying the top right corner, so as far as AMD is concerned - my two GPU's are working in Crossfire mode. Splinter Cell Conviction, the latest chapter in the series, released in 2010 and it's using Crossfire! So I'm not buying the "simulation's have severe effect on epilepsy" argument. There something more to this.

I have been playing videogames for 30 years and the only time i have been rolling uncontrolable is when i popped a bottle of Vodka so give me an option to turn it off.

After six years of waiting we end up with crap like this, it's unbelievable! Not sure nor care who is the root cause behind all of it doesn't really matter.

This makes me want to go five-year-old on everyones' ass directly or indirectly contributing to this crap: I don't give a sh*t about the seizures of any epileptic person on this planet! Strap yourselves to your gaming chair and wear a helmet when starting up any game for the first time just in case! But legislators and companies, don't create directives that go overboard and affect everyone else. Make it optional, create 10-time approval clicking process, make players sign a paper before playing or whatever, but not this. (No crap meant to the ones suffering from the disease, but there are limits to everything.)

I'm sure there are million things in TV and real life that can significantly increase a risk of epileptic seizure. But I haven't seen much else than warnings texts so far. Just look at your average cartoon these days! It'll give an average grown-up a heart attack just to be in the same room.

All of this sure shows how the legal system is abused these days and companies need to prepare for the worse because of too many idiots and creed. Pouring hot coffee on yourself or giving a butcher knife to your kids to play with can make you rich unless some manual tells that coffee is hot and knifes are not toys. Jesus Christ!

One can argue that this can be an unforseeable adverse event for an individual not aware of his / her tendency for epilepsy. But so is marathon for a senior citizen in the form of heart attack or cerebral hemorage, and there they are running around with no legal responsibility attached to the organization arranging the event.

Before any solicitation takes place there should be a sanity board filtering out all the crap in a five minute session:

1) Did you die, get a permanent handicap or serious mental trauma from your incident?

2) Was the cause of the incident your own stupidity or lack of common sense or real neglect from the manufacturer of ignoring an true safety concern in the product or service in question?

If not, go cry somewhere else.

My pre-order will be cancelled today until reports of decent frame rates with decent settings on atleast a top-end PC.

And before smart asses start offering tissues and asking people to calm down I say that there is a limit to tolerance and mine was crossed here. Been all but supportive for my entire stay at these forums but with no smooth gameplay, there is no game for me. And I think there is every right to be upset even though it's 'just a game'. I atleast have been waiting for years to get my hands on it and will invest heavily on HW to be able to run it. So it is kind of a big thing!

Don't have enough information to know who's miss this is at the end of the day and I don't really care either. I just want it to be fixed before I'm chipping in to this party.

And I truly hope that these issues are mitigated in very near future and all of this will be put behind us as the stage fever driven anxiety attacks!
