Nope...Read carefully...1C decided to implement the "filter" themselves cause they were not able to adjust and modify their code in time for release...
As for the obligation of reducing the risk of seizures to a minimum, 1C must have been knowlegable of that for a while...ANd agreed to this obligation...
They were caught by surprise when the tests results came in,,,
And luthier has good words for UBI in this matter...
So UBI bashing is not justified here...

Salute !

You are wrong! Because, at the moment Maddox was asked to add this, it knew very well 1C didn't required it, therefore it was not needed for 1C too. So, all they were needed to do was to make a branch in the code for it, not add it to the trunk.

I'm sorry, but the more I am looking at it, and the more I see the way UBI/1C/Maddox guys are reacting, the more I am convinced the "epilepsy filter" problem is not real.

In other words, you are saying that Luthier is not telling us the truth, and to add more, you say there is a conspiracy to make us believe that the game's issues are not related to poor coding ?

Hum...That is interesting indeed...

Salute !

Thanks for that Luthier, no one would believe me when i told this lot it wasn't Ubi's fault,

apologies below please.

Your a plant.

Smoking is allowed in all of these countries, as is alcohol consumption, sky diving, motor bike riding, skate boards, snow boards.


But a FREAKING video game cannot just have a warning.
Please, there is no law about this, creepysoft just got on this band wagon because some epileptic found out during a game that he was epileptic.

There is no law about this in canada, the US, probebly not in the UK.
This is just absolute crap and the dev is saying what he has to say to pacify his distributor.
Its like all the crippling DRM that microsoft insisted be implemented in all vista video card drivers. The card manufactures took all the flack for being late with their drivers and the slow performance but it was all Microsoft putting the nanny state into the driver requirements that caused it.

Considering the risk of having a seizure, strob lights should be outlawed... no more strob lights in clubs... nada... I'm calling my representative...

Ok then...Who choose UBI as publisher ? And who is suppose to know the rules and read the contracts ? UBI may be a bunch of @#$#%holes if you wish, but still, 1C could have signed with another publisher...
SO who made the mistake in the end ? DO you really think that after 10 years of partnership with UBI, 1C didn't know about this ? And that UBI call them 3 months ago to tell them:" Nice work, looks good ! Oh, by the way, you need to redo your code...You know, the epileptic thing ?"
Ya ..sure....Are you married ? Read your contract again....

Salute !
