Dual Cards

Hi Luthier a few days ago you made this post below stating that the Epilepsy Filter was killing SLI support, reports from people who have the game and are running an SLI setup and have also removed the Filter suggest that your SLI statement is incorrect, they still cannot get it to work. Could you advise what to do from here to get the full potential out of a dual card setup.

your statement:-

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.

For me I never saw any difference with filter on or off. I really hope that it did not work and that the real solution we will get on thursday.

your statement:-

I'm not expert, but doesn't Intel and Amd have to provide SLI/CF support for games in the their drivers. I know the gpu manufactures do this for other titles. Hopefully they will for this small genre.

They are working on optimizing the game, the patch hasn't been released, and you need to get up from where you are hunched over your computer and untwist those pretty little lace knickers of yours.

Hey Tree,

Im sure at some stage you'll be able to use CLOD in SLI, might not be straight away though. Bit of patience young man.

Also, if you're gonna show off your specs, at least edit it to show you have an i7 and you've overclocked it not clooked it! Other epeen hardware junkies wont be impressed!

I bet you love the thought of men wearing tight lacy knickers dont you buzzsaw eh?? Anyway, lets get back on track and away from your fantasies....

Luthier clearly believes that the Epilepsy Filter is responsible for disabling SLI, see his statement above, If no-one points it out that disabling the filter does nothing for SLI then how can they patch something they believe to be resolved, Doh!! Come on Buzzsaw stay focused son!

I'm bit a worried too, i have very fast card, ATI 5970, it is one card with 2 GPU's so basically it is same thing than Crossfire.

Again, given Luthiers SLI statement it would suggest that they have had SLI working/testing to know that the filter would disable it, the only other alternative is that Luthier used the filter as a scapegoat for the lack of SLI support.

There's always a conspiracy with you isn't there. Maybe whatever performance gain there was with SLI was negated by the epilepsy filter. For SLI to work well I think you need Nvidia to support the game with their drivers. Since Nvidia knows about IL-2 Cliffs of Dover they might provide specific support in future drivers.

Didn't he or someone to do with CoD mention that they haven't fully met the criteria for this yet, can't recall which forum I read it on?
