Arrgh,
I'm having some serious issues with this stinking game. And I'm *almost* certain its a video lockup i'm getting.
Here are my system details....
GF4 Ti4200 64mb
XP 2500+
DFI AD77 Infinity mb
SB Audigy 2
512 mb samsung PC3200
I run Win XP pro
I have tried the following things.....
Fresh install (SP1) with full windows updates, latest nvidia drivers, latest VIA drivers, latest SB drivers.
tried optimal game settings, tried lowest game settings...no luck
then I tried...
Fresh install, no SP1, no windows updates, latest nvidia drivers, latest sb drivers.....same crash..
the crash happens almost instantly the first time i get into the game.....after a hard or soft reboot, I get alittle father then the same lockup happens.
One time the screen went mainly brown (huge triangles converging on sam, changing with rotating the camera. I actually got to save it with this one, go to main menu, reload the savegame, only to have the same lockup 10 sec later.
Heres my best description of the crash im getting...
the screen freezes with no sound being emitted (ie nasty looping tones)
about 4, 1cm thick lines pop up mainly green or blue. There not solid lines, kinda pixelated from side to side.
I tried the AIW 7500 card out of my girlfriends computer and have had no problems..........arrgh.....only that I get nasty frame rates and have to play at pispoor settings. Plus I play unreal ALOT and the AIW7500 just doesn't cut it.
IT SHOULD SAY ON THE BOX "NOT CAMPATIBLE WITH GF4 TI4200 VIDEO CARDS"
So basically I have found the cause to my problems...I just wanna know when the patch is coming so I can enjoy splinter cell in all its detailed glory.
I play enough games to confidently say 'splinter cell is the flakiest game of the year'. Mind you its only august but this is unacceptable when I had to fork over $60 CAN for this game.
Shame on you UBIsoft. Acknowledge and fix your problem.
