I bought this game for pc and have had nothing but troubles. Don't get me wrong I love the first 3 they are great games, this 1 was just not made that great. to many bugs and graphic issues. On my system it does not matter if I have the settings on standard, next generation or on custom with them all down, or if my screen rez is 1280-1024 or 640-480 I get the same amount of fsp, CRAP!!!! anyways hope that UBI issues another patch to fix these problems.<br /> <br /> -----------------------------------------<br /> System Specs<br /> AMD 3800+<br /> MSI K8N SLI Nforce 4 Chipset<br /> e-GeForce 7900 GS<br /> 2 Gig mushkin 3200 DDR Ram<br /> 400 Gig HD text/html 2006-11-17T01:33:00-05:00 Tam the Bam http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/63236/?l=1#460011 <br /> Crap crap crap CRAAAAAAAAAP! text/html 2006-11-17T00:38:06-05:00 Michael A. http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/63236/?l=1#460001 Eli Mogul said: <div class="quote">I basically agree with what everyone said here.

Your messages will be read by hundreds of users, so your opinion will certainly be heard!<br /> <br /> I agree that Ubisoft Shaghai should just give up at developing Splinter Cell games for the PC, at least until Ubisoft Montréal has had another chance to develop a sequel and hopefully show Shanghai a thing or two.<br /> <br /> The most disappointing thing for me about the entire release is that it was supposedly postponed to fix these bugs, yet they still made it to the retail edition of the game. The last three Splinter Cell games have been playable to completion out-of-the-box. For Double Agent to be unplayable without patches yet to be released sort of makes me never want to buy another Ubisoft game again. <br /> <br /> Considering I can't return something that was broken when I got it &quot;because I opened the box&quot; I feel like Ubisoft basically just got away with stealing $50 from me. In any other commercial industry, if something is broken when you get it a paying customer should be entitled to a refund. With companies like Ubisoft selling broken products and then refusing to refund customers, no wonder piracy is becoming more and more widespread, especially if it guarantees that no money is lost on broken software protected by shady EULAs that are pointless to read once you've opened the box. text/html 2006-11-16T22:44:12-05:00 Eli Mogul http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/63236/?l=1#459970 I basically agree with what everyone said here.

If you disable the next generation content and select current generation, Double Agent resets it back to next generation the next time you start it up. text/html 2006-11-11T12:52:39-05:00 El Señor http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/63236/?l=1#458949 I've got a great computer to play all today's hottest games that don't actually exist!

It crashed my system. I kept getting runtime errors, emulation errors while running from the dvd, and random BSOD's. I do not recommend this game to anyone until they release more patches fixing the problem. I could barely run this game at 10x7 with default video settings. I was getting under 20FPS. <br /> <br /> For Ubisoft to release the SCDA demo the day or day after its initial release, goes to show you how crap poor this game is made. I do not look forward to what the Splinter Cell 5 game is going to be like and how demanding it is going to be. This game calls for 1GB of RAM, I recommend at least 2GB or more. Save yourself the $50 and buy something else. text/html 2006-11-10T03:01:29-05:00 FordGT90Concept http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/63236/?l=1#458652 So my X800 XL won't work!?!<br /> <br /> Gawd I wish I got a 6800 GT.

On my bros PC it runs fluidly but the game still seems to have crap controls. Maybe its better on Xbox 360? But either way I was never a big fan of Splinter Cell. I'd get p**sed off of going all stealth then I'd bust a cap in someones head in fail the mission. text/html 2006-11-10T02:43:34-05:00 Bobby http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/63236/?l=1#458645 What a let down. I loved Splinter Cell, and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory.<br /> <br /> And the <b>requirement</b> for a SM 3.0 card? Either just a stupid move, or an indication that I <i>really</i> need to upgrade.<br /> <br /> Sigh.<br /> <br /> I turn now, to wait until Rainbow Six: Vegas hits the shelves.
