Do you have proof that these are the facts, or of anything you are saying, how do you know what Luthier said isn't the truth ie that this was dumped on them late in development, do you have someone on the inside letting you know these facts or do you just read the forums like the rest of us and make an educated guess, you seem to imply in your posts that you are somehow 'in the know' but I doubt you know anymore than the rest of us.

Fact - We never saw any 'in game footage' despite numerous requests.
Fact - Ubisoft have had the Epilepsy rule for over 3 years
Fact - 1c failed to meet the requirements of the rule, hence luthier having to apply the filter, this as caused FPS drop and effectively disabled SLI.

proof here from 2008, please read the forums Tiger, its all there.

Nah, it's just Ubisoft worried about certain frequencies making people's ears explode, so they force 1C to use known "safe frequencies" for audio.

That, or they are just poorly made, but given recent events, which do you think is more likely?

Well Tree, never though I would be holding hands with you in the middle of a flame storm I guess you may have some extra flame suit in the wardrobe? Maybe some worn out that I can borrow?

No, No and No

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!!!

I just hope that:
- they manage to remove this epilepsy protection from RUS game version (if it will not be toggable for western region)
- there will be an option to have english language in RUS game version.

OR
- image quality will be the same with that protection or without it (can't imagine this one though).

We shall see.

next week i see how it run on my gig

Specs:
Gigabyte GA-58 Extreme
i920 -> 3,4GHz
6 gig ram
Ati 5970 crossfire, just bought some time ago because IL2 CODcoming
Win 7 64bit

if not running smoothly enough then there is something really broken in code.

Those Vaal bughunting videos, in my opinion it's looks good with FPS, lots of detail and so on. Of course there is no other planes.
Of course Developers diary 1 was wonderful, but it's trailer, not actually raw gameplay

Next week i see the truth

We are not seen any good videos yet, only those couple of bad videos.

Money is all that UBI and 1C understand, so the only way to drive home our dissatisfaction is to cut off the money tap.

I have canceled both my pre orders.

Sorry Oleg, I truly am, but it's my money and I refuse to spend it on a broken product.

i will do so now!!i was afraid that i would not be able to play the game smoothly with my rig.now im confident.sorry to the devs, but get another publisher!!!!

That's true, just 30 second clips from some naysayers. Would love to see a written report in english of what HW they're using, how does it run on different gfx settings on different situations (over the sea, cities, countryside, 10 planes, 100 planes etc).

Damn Ruskies just keep it to themselves and the only thing we get are small nuggets of poor framerates and slideshows without any context.

Frankly, and I mean no disrespect, I don't give a flying f*** about epileptics' video game problems. If you do have symptoms, don't play video games - you have many better things to do. If you don't have symptoms, but have epileptic cores in your brain - it's just a matter of time before you get it, video games or not.

So, to conclude:

1. The Ubisoft's insistence on this is pure "social responsibility" posturing, and making devs absorb the costs is evil. Epilepsy standards? Give me a break!

2. I'm cancelling my pre-order for now, and will get the game from Russia if and when they make the filter optional there.

3. I again emphasize that Oleg and Maddox Games would be much better off if they've published their product themselves online.
