Hello.
On another forum a representative of the development team (Luthier) has claimed that Ubisoft has imposed an epilepsy filter on 'Cliffs of Dover' that has seriously degraded performance and killed SLI compatibility.
Is this true please?
This is very serious if so and a poor joke if not.
If it is true, that's enough to give anyone a fit.
Which 'other forum'?

This is all over the 1C forum too:

Seems that Luthier has just confirmed this epilepsy filter.

WTF is happening, this was supposed to be a happy day.
UBI has done it again.... %&/¤%¤¤/&%&/
Ok guys heres a copy and past from Luthers post.
I want to confirm that everything said here is true, we have implemented some drastic features for anti-epilepsy protection which are affecting FPS and killing SLI support.
We CANNOT make these optional. That will allow an opportunistic or an unfortunate person suffering from epilepsy to sue Ubisoft for damages and literally close down the studio for good.
This was a stop-gap measure to make sure the game gets released. As I explained in the clumsily-translated Russian article, everything in our game causes seizures - gunfire, explosions, fire, sun passing behind canopy framework, etc. Basically flight sims are an epileptic's nightmare.
We'll work to improve the framerate and perhaps address individual issues individually as opposed to applying a single rough post-effect filter, but it is basically a very sad situation. Something completely unrelated and unexpected came to our sim with a giant axe and whacked at it at the last moment. We just didn't have time to properly address it.
Unsmegging beliveable, I knew Ubisoft had it in for Simmers, but to purposly add a filter that stops the game running properly. Damn.
Hi Ubisoft, Im a Adult, I dont have epilepsy, noone in my house has epilepsy, so why the hell do I have to suffer because of yet another stupid show of a nanny state.
There better be a way to turn this rubbish off, otherwise sod suing for epilepsy, Im gonna sue your ***, for selling software unfit for purpose.
Its bad enough the **** up you lot have made marketing this, BUT to destroy this software on purpose just because someone MAY somewhere have a fit is downright bloody stupid.
IF you have epilepsy and its not treated, then dont play on a friggin computer, its simple.
You guys want to ban me for my Rant, Hey fine.
@cowboy10uk: +1
I'm soo f****g upset at the moment, what the **** are they doing...
This is disgraceful behavior from ubisoft. No other games require this nor have implement it. It seems nothing less than a deliberate attempt at sabotaging the title. ubisoft has officially sunk to a new low. I thought with the Silent Hunter 5 debacle that ubisoft could not go any lower but I was wrong.
Utterly disgraceful behavior. Ubisoft should be ashamed and have no business being in software publishing if this is how they treat their developers. I will NEVER send another cent ubisoft's way after this.
