I have Splinter Cell Double Agent on windows Vista Ulimate 32bit. Using ATI Radeon HD 3870 graphics card, 4GB Ram and 3.0 Dual Core gaming processor.

The game just crashes while im playing (saying SplinterCell.exe has stopped working) and forgets the previous few save games so i have to go back to a previous stage quite far away.

In the 'detection' software bundled in with game it says i don't have DirectX 10 (which im sure i do and the graphics card is DirectX 10) and it has a red x against the latest drivers which i've updated the to latest drivers as of today and it still has a red x. So is it this causing the problem or is it something else?

I've played all the Splinter Cells up until now so please help me play this one without these problems!

Thanks in advance

Hi!
The crashes may be caused by many things like:
)Make a shortcut, go to properties and add the -ll(LL)((after ")not 11 nor ii ,command in the first line
It should look like this: "C:\your directory\Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent\SCDA-Offline\System\SplinterCell4.exe" -ll
2)When u turn on the game run fast as u can Ctrl+Alt+Del in task manager right click on splinterCell4.Exe last option and turn off second processor.(The game not support 2 processors)i don´t know why?!
3)Try this leave all graphic options and start the game.in game when mission begin enter to the options than display options customise u will see only 4 options able to change click on each one only one time and try.u must patch your splinter cell on 1.2 version.
4)if u so want to play splinter cell DA install XP.SCDA doesn´t support DX10 nor Pixel Shader 4
in vista SCDA Hardvare detection shows u dx9 and pixel shader 3.0

Good Luck Mate

oh i forgett something reinstall the game AND go to your folder C or D or E:\Programm Files\Ubisoft\Tom Clancy´s Splinter Cell Double Agent\SCDA-Offline\System and find the document named SplinterCell4 text document with small config icon and make a backup to keep it safe in you comp if something goes wrong when games crashes simply copy/paste to Previous folder mentioned above.

Sorry about bad english pal

Hmmm...thanks for the help, and don't worry about the English i understood enough.

I tried all of those (except installing XP) but none worked.

Any other sugestions other than installing XP?

Thanks again!

Just live with it, I did. Random crashes to the desktop can be annoying, yes, but I just got used to it. The most buggy level is definitely Kinshasa. I got the most crashes in that mission.
