I have installed the game and now get the following error messages when I try to play single player.

CRASH
**MUST CHECK**

then up comes another box:-

Microsoft Visual C ++ Runtime Library

"Runtime Error
Programme....Cell Double Agent\SCDA-offline\system\SlinterCell4.exe.

This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way

Please contact your application's Support Team for more information"

Anyone have an idea how I can fix this and ACTALLY play the game

Thanks all

I would like to know of any steps to resolve the runtime **MUST CHECK** error on single player as well.

Yeah, me too! Had this game since december and still have not been able to play it, very funny, not! Tried all "fix" for this problem mentioned in this forum but nothing has helped... Ubi? A patch maybe? Please?

//Fred

yea da does do that on vista pcs but it recently did on my pc that is xp and runtime also doesnt let me use media player

Alright I will go ahead and ask the question all of you have asked before me in this thread.

UBISOFT and the moderators of this forum, how can we fix the runtime error described fully by 'kirchengarten' in the initial post for this thread??!

If you don't reply then it just plainly shows you are avoiding patient and loyal customers. The platform I am having this runtime error with is PC.

As a paying, not downloading, customer I demand the kind of support you avoid to supply us with immediately. If I don't receive a reply I will be sending a written letter to your head office where I will ask this same question and show my dissatisfaction of the level of (well non-existence of) support in this forum.

To top it all of your support website NEVER works, its always flooded with complaints and questions so I can't ever contact you directly. You also haven't supplied an email address for us to send emails to you, shows how rubbish you are really!

Suck on those apples

I just clicked SplinterCell4.exe and also got the must check error. I hadn't tried this before.
I use the SCDALauncher shortcut and that loads the game just fine.
Do you have the same error with that ?

Oh and altough the game 'loads' fine, that's where the fine ends. This thing has more bugs than a rotting corps and I'm very stuck at JBA HQ3, never had so many crashes ever.

well yea its actually easier if you created a shorcut on the desktop i think ubisoft is the dumdest corporation now i recelntly requested for help on getting the help for the hard jump level 6 and they wouldnt help me at all they suk well anyways whoever knows how to get hard jump 6 for splinter cell chaos theory can you help me thanks

If you're getting the CRASH **MUST CHECK** or Microsoft Visual C ++ Runtime Library errors, try downloading and installing the DirectX end-user redistributable released 3/7/2008, available here as directx_mar2008_redist.exe. This DirectX redistributable includes all of the available DirectX 9.0c runtime versions.

First, apply both SCDA version 1.01 and 1.02 patches, available here, before installing the DirectX redistributable. These patches are for the US version of the game ONLY, but if you have a non-US version, you can run SC4UpdateLauncher.exe found in C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent\support\UpdateLauncher.

directx_mar2008_redist.exe is a self-extracting archive. To install for Win XP:
-- a. Log into Windows with full Administrator privileges, and close all open applications.
-- b. Download directx_mar2008_redist.exe to a folder on your hard disk, NOT to the Desktop.
----- 1. Click on the language you want in the Change Language: list, then click on the Change box.
-- c. Use Start > Run to run it, which will extract the contained files.
----- 1. Click on Start > Run, and browse to where you saved directx_mar2008_redist.exe.
----- 2. Double-click on the file to put it in the Open: box.
----- 3. Click on OK to run it.
-- d. Disable all anti-virus/adware/spyware/pop-up software running in the background.
-- e. Again use Start > Run to run DXSETUP.exe from the extracted files. This will install the DirectX redistributable.
-- f. Reboot, log into Windows with full Administrator privileges, and close all open applications.
-- g. Disable all anti-virus/adware/spyware/pop-up software running in the background.
-- h. Start SCDA.

May help, may not, but it's worth a try!

Welcome to the Forums!

Suggestions, to do in the order shown:

1. Start the game by double-clicking on the SCDA Desktop icon, which you should have selected to create at the end of game installation.
-- a. Do *NOT* use the DVD RUN SPLINTER CELL DOUBLE AGENT menu item!
-- b. If you did not create an SCDA Desktop icon during installation, create one that points to "C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent\SCDALauncher.exe" and starts the game in "C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent".
----- 1. Right-click on a blank area of the Desktop, and click on New > Shortcut in the resulting drop-down menus.
----- 2. These paths assume that you installed using the defaults.

2. Apply both SCDA patches or run SC4UpdateLauncher.exe, as detailed in my post of Fri March 16 2007 22:17, above.
-- a. Before applying the patches, reboot, log into Windows with full Administrator privileges, and close all open applications.
-- b. When patch application is complete, start SCDA by double-clicking on the Desktop icon.

3. Download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package released 4/10/2006, available here as vcredist_x86.exe.
-- a. Click on the language you want in the Change Language: list, then click on the Change box.
-- b. Install as detailed for the DirectX end-user redistributable in my post of Fri March 16 2007 22:17, above.
-- c. When installation is complete, reboot, log into Windows with full Administrator privileges, and close all open applications.
----- 1. Disable all anti-virus/adware/spyware/pop-up software running in the background.
-- d. Start SCDA.

4. Download and install the DirectX end-user redistributable, as detailed in my post of Fri March 16 2007 22:17, above.
-- a. Click on the language you want in the Change Language: list, then click on the Change box.
-- b. When installation is complete, reboot, log into Windows with full Administrator privileges, and close all open applications.
----- 1. Disable all anti-virus/adware/spyware/pop-up software running in the background.
-- c. Start SCDA.

thanks for help.I hade this problem but I fix this problem

i also have this problem when the game is saving..it is closing itself :S how can i do this i cant play please help me..sorry about my bad enlish :$

Allright...

Will try to follow the steps described. Now One more thing:

I´ve Buyed ALL the Splinter Cell releases for PC. Chaos Theory is great! But i want to be able to make mods for the SINGLE PLAYER GAME, with storyline, New maps, new animations... not a total conversion, just for people that like it, and doens´t want to play over internet.

I know it´s somewhat off topic, and even for Chaos Theory... But can you answer me?

Thanks!

Arrow_strider.
Please make a new post for your question as it is of subject here.

There is no known way to mod the SP game. But there are several great user made maps for SCPT and SCCT available.

Please help! I tried all this and installed the game to XP and still the same problem in same location.

Hey Heimdall G,

tried all your suggestions(with newest patches of course) but still get the ** MUST CHECK ** Runtime Error on startup (Single Player). Any other suggestions?

My System:
Winxp Pro 32Bit
AMD PhenomII X4 920
4 GB RAM
GeForce 8600 GT 512 MB (Newest Nvidia Drivers)

Regards cloudno9

Try disabling automatic updates and windows firewall ...also disable any antivirus / spyware if u have one...then run scda launcher to execute the game..i hope it works ... i m gonna give it a go...

In an effort to fix what is known to be broken, let me explain why you get these errors.

Ubisoft uses an in house proprietary format to store all of the game data known as lin (that's why you have .lin and .hln files in your game install directory). The problem is that this procedure is obviously not implemented correctly, and causes more problems than it resolves. This seems to be an attempt that Ubisoft is using to get around not having to use star force (so that their Unreal game data is not exposed).

To fix the "Must Check" issues at start up, you must pass the -ll argument to the game. This tells the game to use the lin files (Linear Localized Data) that was developed last minute, instead of looking to the normal places for the data (\Textures \Maps etc etc)

So to sum it up, make sure you use the Launcher for the game to play the game, as it should pass the -ll argument for you. If it does not, then create a shortcut to SCDAOffline.exe and add -ll to the end of path file. The game should then continue to load fine.

As for crashing on save, or crashing/not having a load file, this also has to do with the encryption the game tries to write with the save file/compression. The game seems to then not always know how to read/save this new format, as it is not the traditional method of saving Unreal Engine game data.

Hope this helps!
