Anti-epilepsy filter?

No I mean the HD5570
I can run games like Wings of Prey on high/higher with 40-50 FPS

I have i7 920, and Radeon hd 5850 with 12gb ram. The game is not playable. However, i don't think it is up to the hardware but the problems that resist in the game itself at this stage.

Agreed, MG had to take the axe to their own code to fit in with UBI's requirements.

Lets hope it does not take to long for them to sort out the problem.

Sorry, but you have posted in three different places different results as to avg. frame rate. There is a big different between 60 avg, 40 avg and something less than that. In another post you say it drops down in the teens. I understand the desire to be optimistic. I am trying to be as well. But please try to be realistic. We want useful data. Do us all a favor and do a benchmark test. Use the in game filter, not fraps. Fly around for 5 minutes over land, water and near aircraft. Then tell us what the min/max/avg numbers all. You don't even have to post a screenshot. I will take your word on it. Thank you.

Thanks for the quick replies. I'm just getting my copy, and then I'm going to wait for some proper patches before doing anything. Just sticking to 1946 until that day.

It is about 3 to 6 months short of being fully optimised, wich corresponds to the time they spent " implementing" the filter code that creates all sorts of problems with the playability...
What will happen though , and could be devastating, is that the reviews from all specialised magazines and websites will probably be quite bad if the game runs at 20 FPS at medium settings... And my first reaction to Luthier's comments are probably the same as many fans here, is to wait and see...
And that is also critical....

SAlute !

Here it is. I think 1C didn't want to keep pushing Cliff's release date, so they released it! What's the deal? Some people can barely play it, some cannot!
Just support 1C for now, let them built up an amazing new IL-2 the upcoming months.

i have flown alone 1000 feet low was 40 avg was 63 and high was 97
did a 4x4 dog fight over land and sea low was 10 avg was 44 and high was ...70..i think
and i did some treetop trimming which was around 30 avg but will be making a video in the next couple days i hope and will post some screen shots

p.s i was not using fraps and all fps are from inside the cockpit

Just to make clear:
This issue definitely decreases FPS rate?
I can run Wings of Prey on higher settings, 1280x800 res without problems, 40 fps. It would be a shame to see such an high quality promised game turning into an unplayable game for mid-range PC's like mine.

I hope they will fix this at the next release next week

Thanks. Those numbers give me hope.

We CANNOT make these optional. That will allow an opportunistic or an unfortunate person suffering from epilepsy to sue Ubisoft for damages and literally close down the studio for good.

This was a stop-gap measure to make sure the game gets released. As I explained in the clumsily-translated Russian article, everything in our game causes seizures - gunfire, explosions, fire, sun passing behind canopy framework, etc. Basically flight sims are an epileptic's nightmare.

We'll work to improve the framerate and perhaps address individual issues individually as opposed to applying a single rough post-effect filter, but it is basically a very sad situation. Something completely unrelated and unexpected came to our sim with a giant axe and whacked at it at the last moment. We just didn't have time to properly address it.

Then you just lost a customer. Sorry. Not being able to disable the filter is unacceptable. I don't have epilepsy, no-one in my family does. I don't really care for others making decisions for me, "for my own good".
Blame UBI. Although I don't understand why you guys are still with that pack of hustlers and liars. It's not like they have never screwed you over before. I think the ROF or the Eagle Dynamics model would work for you as well.
