More on epilepsy in Cliffs of Dover

How Ironic !
Here in the US , we consider ourselves the world leader in freedom , yet because
of a few thousand greedy trial lawyers and the corrupt liberal polititians who support them , we are forced to tolerate this kind of crap while many of the other
"not so free" countries get to enjoy a video game in it's unfiltered version.

Sheesh......when will we learn

Tolerate?
There's nothing to tolerate mate, or you happen to have the power to change Ubi's mind, which from rumours seems to consist of solid rock. It's a take it or leave it scenario basically. The only big hope is Luthier and his crew right now, working on a way to solve it.

I don't understand how you could have a risk of seizure in daylight , night battles I could see but muzzle flash in broad daylight?

Oleg should fire Ubi, and release the game via digital download straight from Russia. More money for Oleg, better game for us. Problem solved.

That sounds like a great idea. I'd happily source from Russia if the language issues could be solved.

Despite my desire to play ROF, I'm still waiting for sli support before I buy. I've wanted COD waaay more than ROF, but until sli support is fixed, I'm thinking that I'll wait til the good guys at 1C have the code fixed.

I understand the legal situation, but count me among those who wish we could disable the epi-fix.

Thanks for the update, Luthier.

"Propellers, muzzle flashes, smoke puffs, explosions, falling bombs, flying or taxiing between buildings, sun shining through canopy framework, etc, they were all causing potentially seizure-inducing flashes."

That sounds like a shed load of features that need to be made unrealistic to satisfy this ridiculous ruling. I want to see a realistic representation of propellor motion. I want to be dazzled by the sun off the canopy in a dogfight. I want to see realistic muzzle and bomb flashes.

I guess this is the reason those leaked vids were pulled so quickly....so we can't compare and see what we are missing. I do hope I get the chance to buy a copy that hasn't been visually frigged. Very dissapointing indeed.

I agree !!
Is this the first flight simulator ever? No, it is not.
Do other flight simulators like RoF, Lock-On, etc. have blurred low-fps graphics due to epilepsy problem? No, they do not.

I just hope that the Russian version can be sold in the rest of the world and switched to English... for the moment being, I will stick to old good IL-2:1946.

You guys seems to not understand the dimension of the damage:

The UBI/western IL2 CoD will be forever crippled by the antiepilepsy modifications. Luthier stated that the current epilepsy filter will only be removed from the UBI version once all the individual potential epilepsy-triggering sources will be "dealth with" (this already included the individual dealth propellers arc from inside the cockpit (which were removed/set to transparency from both russian/UBI versions) and will include tons of others (needing months of work to be removed/dealt with) like removing part of the flying debris resulted as mopping up airplanes, part of bullet impact flashes and so on).

Actually, even the russian version will be partially crippled, as there are already a lot of individual irreversible modifications already made (before realizing that it's too long of a work, and they've added the quick "epilepsy filter" whole screen shader filter solution) which will most probably remain the same in the russian version even after the epilepsy filter will be removed.

I've already bought the russian version of the game, and I will cancel my IL2 CoD Collector's Edition pre-order from UBI.
