splinter cell 4

Just got this game myself. The graphics are great and runs pretty well, until it crashes that is. Hope they fix the 2 transparent windows opening and the random crashes every half our soon.

Has anyone else clicked 'Continue' and got a 'no valid saved games' type error message too? Hopefully it'll all get sorted quickly cos it's a really good game so far. I read somewhere that it was programmed for dual core, is this true?

Also, has anyone seen this?

its quite the disapointment really,
place it next to a xbox360 running it on a HDTV and PC comes 2nd :(
sluggish and unpolished like a bad console port


There are countless threads about it on ubisoft forums, it's a very bad port, the same team who made chaos theory did not make double agent and this is where the badness starts.

- The game is not dual core optimised as reported by many people who have the game now

- There are many bugs throughout the game

- There are graphical glitches in it too and it runs slow for even high end users

- The interface itself is very poor, it's a PC game, NOT a console ffs.


You can tell I did not like this at all.
 
Well ive just tried the demo, ran like a dream, but i had what looked like morse code flickering on and off in the bottom right hand corner, and along the top, bizarre. :confused:

Deleted it, Not impressed at all.

Does the demo allow you to use next gen modes as well as enable all the gfx goodies? would be interesting to find out
 
Yeah next gen was already selected, but that weird looking morse code effect put me right off, was a load of ...-..- flickering on and off in the bottom right hand corner and along the top as said, well odd. :confused:

Spot on. Exactly what I thought after playing it for 20mins. This used to be one of my favourite games but not even sure I will play it now.
 
Well ive just been on the Ubi forums, and found this here , i get this effect, not as bad as that as my graphics are perfect, i just get this weird like dotty dashy faint effect keep flickering on and off in the bottom right corner, and along the top as said, says in there he changed his settings in the CCC to balanced and it worked, but im not wasting my time with this heap of excrement, its appalling what they have done to it, ws looking forward to this one as well, thank god there was a demo, and i didn't buy the ******, what a mess. :(

Can't believe this crap. There are no easy links on UBIsofts website for the 'min specs' for double agent. And since most reviews were saying the graphics were on the same line as SCCT which my rad 9800 pro ran fine, then i ordered Double Agent. Now, after what you guys are saying and after delving deep into ubisofts forums, i find it wont work.....*******!!!!!
....
******* fuming i am. :mad:

Really? for that?! Ok, thanks for the heads up mate. I won't bother editing it though, whats wrong with mentioning a vendor? it aint a competitor of OC. I'll wait for a mod to get anal on me and edit it themselves if need be.

But again, thanks for the reminder. Its not often i'd get heated up enough to post my anguish anyways. :)

I suggest you watch your language and attitude in future, as after somebody suggests you edit your post, they are giving you good advise, especially when there's swearies in there. Avoiding laziness and editing your posts can save you from suspension when a don does come along.
 
wow just tried the demo, hard ass game, have to keep saving each point and keep trying and trying, kinda annoying and get on ** nerves
 
I've played every SC game so far but it's been a while since I played CT.
I'm doing the 'training' and I'm in the white room with the laptop.
Do we need to manually hack the code or is it automatic?
When I just leave it be, it fails but I can't see any controls to do it myself.

Any ideas?

You gotta use the up/down/left/right keys to move the selection. When a number in a column stops changing, that is the number that you need to select then press enter. Then watch for the other columns till a number stops changing in them. Pretty good way of doing it and gets quite close to triggering the alarm if you arent quick enough :D
 
Does anyone know a way of changing the refresh rate? it's stuck at 60hz for me....I've looked through some of the ini's - there seems to be a lot of them - and cant find anything.
