Splinter Cell: Double Agent

Post by Nuxil1 »

Anyone know if Ubisoft has "dumbed" this game down enough to work on my Radeon 9800 pro? I can't find any such info. On the box it says the cards that are known to be compatible, unfortunately I can't afford any of them right now.

Your card must have SM3.0 support to work with SCDA.
In other words, no your 9800pro cannot run SCDA.
A quick google search could've told you that.

But then again, while I findly a perfectly good game, most people don't like it, so if you have a spare $10, order Chaos Theory off Amazon.

SPDA Is a really fun game.
But I have to tell you that you are better off playing it on console.
The PC version is a rushed out buggy game.
There are missions you cannot even complete because of bugs.
There is even missions when after loading a map the game crashes.
Exemple there is this place you need to get some blueprints out of a safe.
When I try to open the safe whatever I press it wont do anything.
The only way I could open the safe is a guy comes takes the blue prints away leaves the safe open while he shows his comrade, thats when i go in the safe and for some reason even thought he blue prints arent in the safe I can still take pictures of it.
I tell you the PC version is bad IMO

There's some bugs on the 360 version as well. Not as bad as the PC, that's for sure. Worth a rent at the very least.

That's all BS

I'm running:
A64 X2 3800+ @ 2.5ghz
2GB PC4000 RAM
X1900XT
Samsung 250GB Spinpoint SATA II 7200rpm
600W FSP PSU
Creative Xfi

And I played through the entire game without a single hitch.

Its not bull**** my friend`s its the reality.
Maybe you are one of the lucky ones that got to play it through.
But google jsut this.
Double Agent Bugs its FULLLL of them.

I run a Pentium D 805 2.6 at 4.0
eVGA Geforce 7900GT
2GB Corsair Value Ram PC667
Soundblaster X-fi Fatal1ty
Asus Commando

Of course the results youw ill get on google are usualy french.
The shangai crash is the one you will find the most often.

It is said though that a patch has been released to fix the bugs wich wasnt available when I played the game so i didnt try it out but some still metion lots of bugs on the game.

I would know about the situation of SCDA bugswise because I've been a frequent poster on the Ubi forums ever since the release of Raven Shield (<3), and I will say that there are a shitload of people complaining about bugs, but personally I think its the loud minority that's complaining about it.

Gamespy also complains about bugs. However, it seems like most reviews don't seem to mention much about bugs, I guess it really depends on your setup. I haven't played it yet, but hopefully they'll have some patches that fix the problems you're having.

I agree, there are a lot of bugs in the PC version that you won't experience if you're playing the Xbox360 version (although I didn't experience too much problems through out the whole game).

I highly recommend this game, it is a great game and it looks amazing as well.
