Anti-epilepsy filter?

[Shrike_UK]

So, i guess we now call it IL2:EW (Epileptic Warning)

[Biggs]

I once got elbow bursitis for resting my elbow on table while playing IL-2! Class action lawsuit for not telling me that I should use padding under my elbow!

Exactly. I demand that every CloD copy must be shipped with one of these:

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.

That's pretty bad and i don't say this to blame you, in fact i can feel your frustration.

If they really did wait until the last possible moment to demand this feature from you they obviously don't know who they're messing with...the local forum forum brigade will swiftly migrate to the Ubi forums and start applying some pressure to put mildly, not to mention that we won't be arguing among ourselves this time

Let's hope a solution can be found. On the other hand, i don't really know what that would entail for the graphics fidelity of the sim even if frame rates are fixed.

Already there and shouting loudly, Any support would be greatly appricated.

If anyone can get this news out to sites like Kotaku and other mainstream game blogs, I'm sure they'd run it as a story.

Ubisoft have had this development rule for over 3 yrs, its an oversight from the Dev's not Ubisoft.

Ilya said that Ubisoft changed their policy on epilepsy 1 year ago. The change impacted on everything that was graphics in CoD. THe last 3 months of CoD's development were spent on matching the sim to the Ubisoft epilepsy spec.

Its all in this thread:
