Anti-epilepsy filter?

[mazex]

The ignorance shown in this thread is really depressing.

Besides, like pointed out by Tree, Ubisoft has been doing this for ALL their titles for three years, the same goes for Sony and many other major publishers. I don't know about EA. Have you noticed bad performance in all the other titles by Ubisoft or Sony for the last three years? They apparently managed to pass the tests without loosing performance somehow, with some exceptions like Wipeout HD for PS3 that Sony stopped and sent back to the developers before releasing it for not passing the same tests we talk about here - in 2008!

I sure hope that MG can address their performance issues, just like the other developers have done.

I assume you have a link with some good information backing this claim up? Or is it that we are simply to ignorant for you to provide some links to back your claim up?

Edited my post above with a link, you can sure find more yourself - my guess about the reason there are not so many to find are because this is handled internally, who would like to post stuff like that in public? I guess MANY developers have got their games back to re engineer them the last three years - but WHY would the developers or the publishers want to make that a public discussion like this? It sure as hell strikes back at themselves (both parties).

The decision makers at 1C really need to take a long hard look at ways to put their boot up Uselesshit's collective ass and kick em so hard that they reach a geostatic orbit. This "publisher" has caused nothing but hassle since they bought BlueByte over ten years ago ... and this abonimation is the latest straw. WTF is Uselesshit serving during its board meetings? LSD?

This is a joke post right? Mazex isn't a Ubisoft fanboy, your dealing with the facts here, Cliffs Of Dover did not meet the required Eplipesy standard that Ubisoft amongst others have imposed for the last 3 years, this is not Ubisofts fault, the dev's have screwed up, either that, or its an excuse for such a poor running game. Given the fact that they refused to show us any 'in game' footage despite repeated request from myself and others then it would appear that its a cover up for a poor running game. IMHO.

Do you have proof that these are the facts, or of anything you are saying, how do you know what Luthier said isn't the truth ie that this was dumped on them late in development, do you have someone on the inside letting you know these facts or do you just read the forums like the rest of us and make an educated guess, you seem to imply in your posts that you are somehow 'in the know' but I doubt you know anymore than the rest of us.

Fact - We never saw any 'in game footage' despite numerous requests.
Fact - Ubisoft have had the Epilepsy rule for over 3 years
Fact - 1c failed to meet the requirements of the rule, hence luthier having to apply the filter, this as caused FPS drop and effectively disabled SLI.

proof here from 2008, please read the forums Tiger, its all there.

Frankly, and I mean no disrespect, I don't give a flying f*** about epileptics' video game problems. If you do have symptoms, don't play video games - you have many better things to do. If you don't have symptoms, but have epileptic cores in your brain - it's just a matter of time before you get it, video games or not.

So, to conclude:

1. The Ubisoft's insistence on this is pure "social responsibility" posturing, and making devs absorb the costs is evil. Epilepsy standards? Give me a break!

2. I'm cancelling my pre-order for now, and will get the game from Russia if and when they make the filter optional there.

3. I again emphasize that Oleg and Maddox Games would be much better off if they've published their product themselves online.

Has there been any reports of how it performs with this famous russion version without the protection?

Igomir and the leaked vids look quite ok to me given the HW that was used.

And secondly, we doesen't know even how much that epileptic system is lowered overall performance, it maybe be 2%, who knows.

Hold on horses friends, wait until it is released here in UK next week.
