It might, and most if not all games come with some kind of seizure warning on the packaging somewhere. Most epileptics are aware of this issue anyway.

They tried to cram it on the startup screen, but it wouldn't fit.
Sorry.

The worst is flying an Ishkur. That little beauty is so small that laser flashed against it are full screen flashes rather than a little dot on your hull. During combat I have to zoom out just to be able to see anything!

*Epileptic
*Epilepsy
Generally, if software can trigger a seizure, they have to have a warning. EU laws or something or other.

Software doesn't cause either of those. What software can do is trigger seizures.

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

I have a good friend who plays MMO's with that condition in a degree. Mostly extreme mental fatigue occurs for her after having to deal with the flashes. Luckily for her she can turn off most the effects in EVE while in games like WoW she was forced to face the camera away from the figths and spell effects.
If you know someone sensitive like this you start realizing how many other things are difficult like, movies these days with flashy affects, or even funny flash animation web comics (Touch of irony there). Not much can be done about it. If you're a game fanatic and you don't suffer epilepsy, count your blessings every night.

...possible causes for an extended downtime, I think playing WoW would be close to the bottom of the list, probably between shaving cats and having dental work done w/o anethesia. |

It shouldn't be up to the software to NOT trigger this just to apease a rare faction of players.
If you know you can not eat peanuts, due to an alergy, then you do not force the world to stop producing peanuts, or have warnings on the labels of the peanut products. If video games cause you to have siezures, then don't play video games. Patient -"dr dr it hurts when i poke myself in the eye with this pencil" Dr -"then don't poke yourself in the eye with the pencil"
One of the post tells of a WoW player actual accepting their limitation and finding their own work-around (good to hear/read). More people should take this example to heart, or not do the things that cause them issues.

Really low intensity and low frequency. I don't see how it could. Things like strobe lights, CAN trigger seizures. Along with that one japanese cartoon.

9 SEIZURE WARNING
In rare instances, some users may experience seizures when exposed to certain light patterns or flashing lights. Exposure to certain light patterns or backgrounds on a video monitor may induce an epileptic seizure, even in persons who have no history of prior seizures or epilepsy.
Bubbles are hypnotic.

yeah wasent looking to change something was curious to how many might have trouble with the graphics layout .. or how many actually suffer from something that makes Eve harder for them then for others ..
I mean as a developer this might be the last thing on your mind aswell dealing with buggs and gameplay ..
I mean if something like a caution or help for what graphics should be changed for someone with any kind of disorder should do before playing that could help someone atleast ..

Some note for those worried. I hope the english medical terms are correct, but the content is.
Photosensitivity has little to do with what most of you call epilepsy (which is a symptom, like headache, and not a disease in itself), so it's nothing special that people that never had such problems in the past will have seizures under special light conditions, while people with epileptic symptoms will have no problems with strobos and flashes at all - it just mean your brain is more sensitive than the average population to light flashes. Some people skin is more sensitive to sunlight, some people metabolism is more sensitive to altitude, some people brain is more sensitive to certain stimulii.
If anything, discovering that sensitivity in the safe conditions of playing a game is way better than discovering it when driving by night, and if you really have a doubt, there is a very easy exam done in sleep condition that should reveal if your brain is too sensitive to light flashes.
