How about this for an anti-epileptic filter:
WARNING: May Cause Seizures. Use at Own Risk.
...for a little while at least.
Anti-epilepsy filter? - Official 1C Company forum
Basically, in the last minutes of development, Ubisoft (western distributors for the game, also arseholes) have forced upon 1C Maddox (publisher) a requirement to add in some sort of anti-epiliptic filter. The effects have been confirmed as disastrous, by a member of the dev team. Not only will it affect the visuals of the game, but also the performance. How much will this hurt you? Looks like the old stated system reqs. are void, and we are forced to see how this will run.
I wouldn't have been able to run the game anyway, but i will definitely now wait and see how this turns out, before investing in a new PC.
What an anti-climax - all these years waiting for the next generation of combat simulator from the best publishers of ww2 air combat sims, and then this happens.
Here's a new development:
Well, they're saying the Russian version of the game (Ubi does not distribute in Russia) will have the option to turn the filter off, and so they will enjoy the game in all of the intended beauty.
However, the filter will not be switchable in EU/US etc, and will affect the games performance/visuals adversely. They are going to be patching the game as and when, to address the issues in the game that would cause epileptic fits, and the filter will be removed when that process is complete - could be months. Not only that, but the game will be visually different - and in my guess lacking - compared to what should have been released.
We'll see.
Just a matter of time before they do. I mean don't the whiz kids in gov't know what's best for us at all times.Are you serious??
*If* the game (any game for that matter) can trigger a seizure, then the affected user should refrain from playing the game if there's a potential for that happening. That's called "common sense" and the majority of end users shouldn't have to pay for that because of a "possible" incident.
Otherwise they should eliminate all video games, dim the lights, pad the floors and ceilings and cover us all in bubble-wrap "just in case"...
