For some reason when i play Multiplayer, the game will have a blackscreen after about 10-20 seconds, lasting about another 15-20 seconds, then it will play for yet another 10-20 seconds b4 blacking out again and then returning to windows with the message "Splinter Cell DA multiplayer has encountered a problem and needs to shut down" it happens everytime, even though I meet the minimum requirements. Any help?

I can't even get mine to start up.

Its frustrating, i enabled anti-aliasing, and the crashing stopped but now the lag on the cpu isnt even funny, and it still has a 5 minute time limit b4 it crashes again

The crashing sounds like it's due to hardware issues. Try turning any and all over-clocks off.

If that doens't pertain to you, make sure that you update the drivers for your hardware, and turn Anti-A to "application controlled" in your drivers.

Thank you for your suggestion but all of those still don't work . I thank you for at least trying.

Doesn't anyone know why the hell this happens
