Arctor87 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I recently bought both Splinter Cell Chaos Theory and SC double Agent but they keep on crashing during gameplay. If i make any fast movements or about a minute into the game the whole sysyem crashes. MY PC SPECS: 2.4 GHz Core 2 Quad 2GB DDR2 ram Biostar Motherboard with on board GeForce 7100 512MB ATI 4650 Graphics Card 1GB memory Windows XP Service Pack 3 GTA 4 Plays fine on my system but These splinter cell games all crash.

deletedxyz Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Have you patched them to the latest update? Do you get a message when the game crashes like "General Protection Fault"? Does the game only crash or does your computer do a whole reboot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cropcircles Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 It looks like the patches do fix reported crash issues. Patches http://www.ubi.com/US/Downloads/Info.aspx?dlId=806 Splinter Cell Tech Support - Self Help http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/frm/f/954105331 Specific: http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums?a=search&...scope=954105331 Are you using GeForce/ION Driver Release 185 " I think there's a few posts around here about the 7xxx series of cards having difficulties with drivers. You are right to assume to use an older version, I just can't recall which. You might get lucky and find the thread that nails which driver, but I think the early 1xx.xx series should work.

Does the game only crash or does your computer do a whole reboot? The whole system crashes and the pc reboots. The screen would go blue and then would reboot with a beep from the box.

goji Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 You may need to search the Ubisoft forums; many people have had problems with the PC SC games with XP SP 3, Vista and Win 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arctor87 Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 You may need to search the Ubisoft forums; many people have had problems with the PC SC games with XP SP 3, Vista and Win 7. This Problem Occured when i still had XP Pro SP2, i thought that upgrading to SP3 would fix the problem, so the problem is not with the OS. Can u send me specs for a PC that can play SC Double Agent please. I might have to get a new PC coz its frustrating. Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are going to buy a new computer to play 2 games which have past their sell by date? It sounds like an issue with drivers or the operating systems.

Minifig Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I did a lot of browsing around the internet. You're not the only one who has a problem with these games. It's no reason to buy a new pc. Patch, and try again. Try compatability modes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raa Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Yeah, SC have had a lot of trouble in the past, I had bit of trouble at the time myself. I can only suggest trying patches, no-cd patches as this sometimes fixed the issue (as long as you own the games, but i'm not allowed to say where from), make sure direct-x is up to date, acceleration settings are right. Also check your audio drivers too. It sounds like your PC is blue screening (BSOD'ing), disable blue screen-reboots and you might be able to tell us what sort of error occurs, and any codes (if any).
