More on epilepsy in Cliffs of Dover

[el0375]

thanks for clarifying, i intend to buy the game boxed, but im in italy and looking for a CE.
IMHO all this,its true that is a little ''shocking'', but im very confident on your team. First of all the release date itself posed me some doubts, seemed rushed in some aspects. But some may say, ''but you were developing for 6 years or so!''
Me atleast , i was honestly surprised for the release too, but was concerned.... maybe because i experienced the Silent Hunter series and offcourse SH5..
positevely, im really looking forward about your product, that im looking to buy (since 2006) and i think that ( i suppose) that the biggest risk now is the maybe lack of further oprimisation( or some decisions of the moment due to time limitation) that will come later on. I say that because AFAIK review sites usually review the product at first release( that is my concern for the try to widen the audience).
Nevertheless, i support you, and furthermore, i have to thank you for your time these past months to try answer and clarify misunderstatements. You are responsible also for my love in planes due to IL-2 ( that in my opinion is a sort of wwii air-encyclopedia)
So, I wish the very best for all of you, and for this project too

Luthier thanks for being honest with us about the problems. It actually makes me feel more confident about purchasing your product. I hope you are all able to get the major bugs worked out in time for the NA release, but even if you haven't I already have my copy on pre-order, and look forward to crashing my virtual plane lot next month.

[sappy]Only a few devs I have any faith in and 1C Maddox is amongst them. Thank you for being forth coming and quelling rumors, and for all the dedication of the entire development team at 1C Maddox. [/sappy]

Removing the filter on the western version can only be done when we've individually fixed all flashes, and there's no longer the need for the epilepsy filter.

So, it is cristal clear now: the UBI western version of the game will have this filter removed only after all the individual fixes for flashes will be in.

Which means, the UBI western release of the game will be forever crippled (because all the individual flashes fixes actually reads invisible propellers arc, and so on..)

Time to make some friends in Russia, and ask Luthier to internationalize (add english) in the russian version of the game.

So, Luthier, can at least this be made?

YESS!

A "english - patch" for the russian version and a russian distributor delivering to germany!!!

the issue is not only with the US, but also UK:

Some games manufacturers have already begun pre-screening their latest games. These manufacturers include Ubisoft, the games developer responsible for the title that triggered a seizure in Gaye’s son. These manufacturers are demonstrating a conscientious attitude towards the safety of gamers. They inspire some confidence that regulations may not be necessary if manufacturers will all voluntarily screen their products. But would all manufacturers be as conscientious?

“The games industry has tried to be responsible,” says John. “But if measures remain voluntary, there is the possibility that a small-scale manufacturer from another part of the world may not adhere to it. You may get one or two rogue games creeping through. Nevertheless, starting off with a voluntary approach may be the fastest way to get this done. Getting laws through Parliament is a slow and careful process. A voluntary code may be the fastest way to get a lot of the benefit, even if the system is not perfect.”



Other editors do the same

This situation is so disappointing. Honestly I still don't see how this is anyones fault but UBI. If the devs had gone with any other publisher we wouldn't be in this mess.

At this point what needs to happen is for UBI to release them from the obligation to have the game epilepsy safe, go back to pre-anti-epilepsy code, and put a big disclaimer on start-up. I don't think anything less would satisfy everyone at this point.
