Splinter Cell Double Agent

Really, Chaos Theory also had it's fair share of problems when it came out. I bought it anyways, but actually didn't play it at all until patch 1.05 and the reloaded crack came out... :-) All good things come to those who waits.

does not say in the readme that it's 3.0 only,it just says if you do not have 3.0 it will not support hdr settings.

my card is a radeon x800xt 256mb which doesent support 3.0 (it says the reason it doesent is becuase 3.0 is not funlly supported by any game and isent likley to be for a long time,so it use's some aspects of 3.0 but has a basis of 2.0 making it '2.6')

ive only just recieved this game and got those recommendations from teh readme on teh disc,i'll install later when i get home from work and i will report back wether it runs or not.

-fingers crossed-

also what you guys where saying about new games may be 'vista only'

i read that when halo 2 finally comes to pc it will be vista only.

I think only Micro$oft is stupid enough to make its own game (!) Vista-only. Other developers/publishers know that customers cannot be pushed this boldly to change to a new operating system (again)!

Not tried this but I am told that if you edit the line below in the Splintercell4.ini file you can use cards that have SM2.0

SimpleShader=False change to SimpleShader=True

[Muyfa666]

Can anyone confirm this?

[glenbo]

gonna try it now

[glenbo]

ok the game crashes during the loading screen for a new game on every setting available...the menus all work fine,the hardware detect fails me on teh graphics card but passes me on everything else...which is sad as my card runs oblivion maxed out and about a year ago was one of the best cards on teh market and well ahead of its time.

im going to try the .ini file editing now..i'll report back after i tried it.
