I prefer to be a member epileptic IL 2 player rather than a epilectico only. I can remove the filter?

I'm not going to punish 1C, who released the one piece of software that's provided me, by leaps and bounds, the best value for my money in 25 years, for something beyond their control.

Maybe we can buy the Russian version and patch in the English as some form of protest, but either way I'm buying it even if I have to crank down some resolution and visuals until it gets fixed.

With a couple more weeks we'll have time to see how it shakes out.

Not withdrawing my order either. After all the years of IL-2 support (I think I ended up with several copies plus all the addons a few times lol), I think I owe it to these guys for giving me an outlet for a lifelong passion. It's clear they care about what they create.

by all indications from the early russian buyers, the game is currently completely unplayable with the anti epilepsy crap imposed over the top. we can support oleg and his crew to find a solution and be tolerant to the delays it is causing. but i feel that if you buy the game right now from ubi in its crippled state you are in fact supporting the madness of ubisoft instead, and are removing all incentives to have the problems resolved by management at ubi.

olegs team worked for years to bring us the best possible product with decent frame rates, and to then have the ubi crap imposed on it in the last few months which cuts the frame rates to 10% is simply not acceptable. dont have any illusions, ubi predictably will not back down on this choice even if it makes the sales flop because one lawsuit in the usa could in one swoop remove any gains they make from it, and potentially even kill the company. we need to find another solution to get a working game then depend on ubi to do the right ting or stand up to manage its legal risks better (they have a track record of backing down and leaving games buggy and unfinished, and they dont listen to customer needs or protests)

the best current solution for us would be if oleg implements a russian version of the game that doesnt have the ubi "feature", and we can buy our copies directly from the russian distributor.

I hope what your saying about UBI is wrong but if true then I would prefer a Russian "oleg" version - pay the money to the source, cut out the inept middle man!

AW.

A disclaimer on the box/splash screen/loading screen would be enough legal wise, regarding the epilepsy hazards.

I think you mean Luthier, Oleg hasn't worked on this project for over a year and a half.
