ok this is what i did..
i edited the splintercell4.ini located in c:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent\SCDA-Offline\System as instructed by penkster
and i got the same thing..crashes half way through loading a new game and gives me a error message saying 'trying set non-registered vertex shader'
any ideas people? before i take this piece of crap back to the shop?
i emailed ubisoft and got a near instant reply here it is>>>

ive just read elsewhere that it is impossible to force sm 2.0 support as it doesent have any support in the first place in the game.
it literally is 3.0 or nothing,and by the looks of things...no patch to fix it.
you think they would of learned from the last mess they made with chaos theory...lack of sales cos of starforce,the game was in the bargain bin inside about 4 months of release in most shops @ £9.99
this game is not gonna sell atall.
