Someone pointed out that single GPU mode was faster than SLI mode and Luthier replied with this:

Re: Il-2: Battle of Britain - First impressions.

In our game there is a wonderful new feature that saves you all from epilepsy. It is made at the request of the Western publishers, Yubisofta.

Since epilepsy is caused by a rapid flashing of the facilities, and flight simulator is basically a genre of fast flickering objects, the epilepsy caused all: propeller, shooting, explosions, sun, flying airplanes, transportation machines, entry into the hangar, flying at low level, and etc .

Despite the fact that in the old IL-2 it was more an epileptic, new requirements were introduced only last year. We perelopatli entire game because of this unfortunate epilepsy.

The main protivopripadochnaya shell, which is above everything that was done two weeks ago, the total despair. It compares each previous frame with each frame and compares the brightness of the pixel by pixel, and if it is too large, averaging pixels to give pleasing epileptic-limits. This crap brakes at the ground, and does not work with cards SLI. Off with her we can not yet make it optional, too, can not yet.

Without it Yubisoft refused to publish the game.

But as the 1C in general all the same, cause you have a game fits or not, we are urgently looking for a way to cut it all on the Russian version. It is necessary to assure Yubisoftu and give them a check that off in Russia will not allow Western epileptic somehow disable this thing at home.

Probaly why Luthier was so reluctant to answer my SLI/Crossfire questions a few months ago.

Blame UBI.

Just reading the Russian forum, first impressions are not at all good.

Oh well with my 4780x2 card i will be waiting till i buy the game if that is true. Ive just forked out on a 2500k,a new motherboard and 8 gigg of memory so cant aford a new card . and cant be botherd to play on a single 4870 . Hopfully there will be a work around within a couple of weeks to months ...

Till then i shall be flying my A10 ,All maxed out at 1920 x 1200 . On My 4870x2 ...

it would be a shame if it was not allowed as an option on the ubifool published version, Damn they are a pack of assclowns !!

reading these google translations hurts my head, but I don't speak russian, so it's my best bet.

Just when you thought you couldn't dislike Ubisoft any more than you do, read this:

http://spong.com/article/15691/Ubisoft-is-Screening-Video-Games-for-Epilepsy

Not sure if it's an impossible problem to solve using SLI, just sounds like more of a painful last addition they haven't sorted out yet.

Some feedback from Russian forums, excuse the bad translation.

On my I-2500, 8 GB, gtx 460 at the lowest settings, alone on the sea falls to 40 fps and still frizit (maximum 80 FPS in the cabin, the appearance of 88)!
I guess you shouldn't say that it is a catastrophe-level graphics seen on your work.

Causes of brakes:
1. Bad vidûha.
But how is that bad Company 2 works on all maksimalkah with #%&*$#' brilliant FAC and with excellent row/special effects? At the same time flight over water alone without special effects with frankly bad graphics (about land in this mode, I am silent …) may fall to 40fps?

2. Bad proc, and playing a bunch of calculations should be done ...
Then why is crammed into the game and didn't cool ništâkov full support for my processor? He loaded the 25% rather than 100%.

3. a terrible optimization for various reasons.
But it is not denial.

I think somewhere in their reasoning?





Put in the most beautiful picture, fps on average 50, game, play freezes or that it is at minimum. Play is not possible.

I dropped SLI two years ago, as it seem NO DEVELOPER CAN GET IT RIGHT.

Seems all the 'critizers' were right, but fanbois nooooooooooooooooooooo going like sheep for slaughter

Lots of angry Russian's now blaming 'The West' rather than the developer for performance.

Have to say, Luthier probably should have been more discrete in this auto-translate Google times we live in. Blaming the publisher after only 18 hours of being released is not ideal. Either release and stand by it or don't - abdicating isn't a strategy despite having good reasons for complaint.

Patches to follow then, which I think anyone sensible would be anticipating by now. It'll take some time to sort out but I'm still optimistic.

Now that ^ needs an epilepsy warning.

ahahaahah this is classic, i'd would wait for CoD 2 10 years from now so everything is fixed, and another 10 years for bug fixes from Cod 2 ,,, in 30 years CoD 3 will be playable. be sure

Reminds me of lockon

Buy it - install it - remove it - wait 24 months - install it - patch it - play it

I smell ....Lawyers.

Why in the world isn't a disclaimer on the box enough?

The first mention of this performance-crippling anti-epilepsy device is on.....release day?

Warning would have been ok for US/Canada re:ESRB, but in the UK Ubisoft signed up for a voluntary code of conduct to protect people from enjoying themselves without state interference. I might have changed the last bit, but the sentiment is the same.

in soviet russia players fix games

games being nerfed for epilepsy? seriously?

Is there really that many epileptics out there to nerf a game just for them?

Seems the simpler solution is epileptics don't play games since they are likely to give them a seizure.
