Don't normally do this, but +1 to you ;)

Well, I am at work having a sneaky peak at this, so haven't really got time to read through 30+ pages, but thanks for your friendly advice Swiss.

Just because it's you:

I'm tired of this is bullshit.
I blame the hysterical people wanting to prevent everything fun from everyone because some effect from something might affect someone.
Someone died because he/she had a condition and played a game? He/she might have died anyway for some other thing than a game triggering his/her condition.

Coddling at its worst.

I am an real aircraft pilot, and this is something we are made aware of and taught how to respond (look away from the flashing light!).

Flash induced Epilepsy has never >directly< killed anyone AFAIK, however it can be an issue if operating a vehicle.

What is vital is if one does have epilepsy so they will be aware.
In short, if a game triggers a bout of epilepsy, it is a GOOD thing (tm) becuase one will now how to deal with it when it happens again.

Sigh...

Did you not read the other thread on the Epilepsy filter?

The oversight, if it can be called such, was that Oleg's team had not developed a game that has been epilepsy tested before (Il2 1946 was published before this was introduced). Therefore they were unaware of how many issues would appear during testing.

The game was submitted to Ubisoft for routine epilepsy testing and failed the test spectacularly. Response was to attempt to correct each and every little cause separately, but there was not enough time. Ubisoft won't publish without issues being solved. Result, this stopgap solution is pushed out.

Short term solution will be to make disabling the epilepsy filter an own risk thing.

Long term will be to fix the individual issues.

So I will buy the game, hope it runs acceptably on my PC or the short term solution arrives soon, and wait for the long term fix. Its at most a temporary inconvenience, so I'm not going to act like its the end of the world

some sense!

the wailing that's occurring you'd think it actually, in the grand scheme, mattered.

In December 2008 video game manufacturers in the UK agreed to test their video game images for seizure safety prior to release

Btw, website about (seizures) is one of a lawyer sueing some editors for seizures

What ever happened, its still very underhand not to let people know BEFORE the release date, and not find out by reading the russian forums.

Thank god I didn't preorder it. As of now, the game looks FUBAR, so I'll wait 'til they sort out the problems.. (2 weeks, be sure!)
