More on epilepsy in Cliffs of Dover

Looks like we have to get the russian version somehow:

Luthier:

This is what the team will work in the coming days:

1. Anti-epilepsy will once and forever banished from the Russian version of the game. This adds up to 10 fps on older machines. You now can manually disable the filter - the instructions were given repeatedly.

Is this better?

You are wrong! Because, at the moment Maddox was asked to add this, it knew very well 1C didn't required it, therefore it was not needed for 1C too. So, all they were needed to do was to make a branch in the code for it, not add it to the trunk.

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.

It doesn't have to be you that has epilepsy.

You're playing CoD in your den and your son comes in to see what you're doing - he looks over your shoulder to watch and BAM! You didn't know he was an epileptic until that moment. All the 'I'll take responsibility for my own safety' arguments mean bugger all when that happens. It isn't just about you.

Sorry to be melodramatic, and I agree it's extrememly unlikely to happen, but... just sometimes, it does happen.

When I was a mere schoolboy of 15, I watched a teacher up and die in the middle of a lesson due to epilepsy - it was quite unnervinging to say the least.

For myself, I've been playing Il2 for the last ten years or so - and I'll be playing this new game for the next ten at least. I hope Ilya and co get things sorted out soon. Until then... the sun is actually shining on the south-east of England for a change - I think I'll go for a walk.

Anyway, I'm with you guys that since we "know" that we don't have a problem why not enjoy the game, but publishers seem to think of the possible dangers and there are ones, that's the problem.

IMHO, this is a legal requirement now in the US. Regrettably, UBI have elected to manage distribution to other countries with the US requirement in place for all. Not all countries require this to be in place. As usual, one size does not fit all.

As far as I'm concerned, if I could get it elsewhere without pax Americana I would.

Epilepsy can happen later - even after a hit in your head when falling down from the stairs or your bike.
You just don't know when it'll come.

The question is not whether an individual can develop a condition - it's about enforcing a prevention mechanism in a single aspect of life that actually does not prevent the condition from developing.

Food manufacturers aren't precluded from making products with peanut or peanut oil on the chance that a consumer might not be aware that they have a fatal allergy to peanuts.

They're only required to perform due diligence in warning consumers that their products do or may contain peanuts.

C_G

Correct. Ban peanuts!
