Splinter Cell Double Agent

demon8991 · 14 Jun 2009 at 21:55

Hello my mate recently got Spinter Cell double agent off steam and installed it.

He loaded it up but whenever he clicks on single player the vista comes up with a box saying this program stopped responding and tries to find a solution but can never find one.

He tried reinstalling it and verifying the game cache but neither work.

Is this a known problem are there any patches for it?

I have it running fine on Vista x64. You could try right clicking the shortcut and clicking properties, then changing the compatibility mode to XP Pro. If that doesnt work I can only assume its a system problem and try updating graphics drivers, sound drivers, motherboard drivers, etc.

AFAIK the steam version isnt patched up to the latest version, so it could be worth looking into that. I'm sure your mate is running a fairly up to date gfx card - just wondering because Double Agent requires a SM 3.0 compatible card minimum. The game is also known to have problems with 8800 series cards, particularly the GTS. I dont know if they've fixed it since, but basically you had to do some workaround just to get it to run on certain cards. The game is a horrible port and was notoriously buggy on release. Ubi have pretty much offered zero support since.

It's because it's a gash pile of balls.

I had a similar problem and it was the 3.0 shader that wasnt supported by my GFX card. But im sure it loaded up the game ok then when i went to run the game it crashed and told me it didnt have 3.0
