I'm playing the PC version as bought from Steam. I'm onto the Oil Rig level in Splinter Cell, and find that if I climb up the ladder, I'm then stuck in position on the platform above. In the following walkthrough video, at 0'16", it shows that you should be able to walk off this platform along some pipes. However, in my case, once I try to move onto those pipes, Sam cannot move (only rotate). Anyone else seen this problem?
Yeah, there is some sort of "space" glitch where Sam gets stuck on the upper level of that first platform. I get stuck there quite a few times- gets frustrating. Just keep trying.
LOL yeah i got that problem i am also playing through the whole series again and i broke one keyboard on that part (literally)
when you go a little bit further than that part you will find a part where you have to jump and catch a ledge / land on a platform if you manage to do that than PLEASE SAVE THE GAME because i had to try like 35 times to do that, so that's an headsup for you
Ditto for me. You just have to save and keep trying, Sam WILL be able to get past that, it's a glitch, as they've said. Lucky it happens at the start of the level, you have an autosave ready to go.
I just wanted to add my voice to those commiserating with you.
