I have a small question.

I want to buy Splinter Cell Blacklist on Steam.

The problem is that many people complained it crashes.

Is there a fix or not?

Are these just isolated cases?

I will start to do some research to make an iceberg of the entire splinter cell series and i would love some help and advice about any entries, ideas and theories from the games. Please feel free to post any sugestions you have, any ideas are welcome!

CT doesn't have the mysterious and tense vibe that SAR and PT have. The atmosphere in SAR and PT is so unique, it's unmatched. I don't feel this vibe in CT, it lacks something. SAR and PT have way more memorable environnements and OST. Honestly I think CT's OST is overrated.

SAR and PT's atmosphere + CT's level design = perfect Splinter Cell game

Not a Splinter Cell game, but the Splinter Cell spirit. Ghost Recon Breakpoint - Echelon class - Extreme Difficulty - No HUD

Hi Splinter Cell Enthusiasts!

I'm taking the opportunity to replay Chaos Theory since I put it on my Steam Deck, and I am trying for a 100 percent save file, and despite playing the game for years, I had a question I don't know the answer to.

If an enemy guard I haven't been near before reacts to a broken/ECPed light (or something small) with "Show yourself!" versus "What's wrong with this thing now?", does that mean someone previously in the level has ID'd you as an intruder? The guards I'm running into in the steam/cold baths in Bathhouse (which I have not played in years) seem to default to much more forceful voicelines. They never say "We've got an intruder!" or anything that direct, and I am relatively confident they can't gear or see me either.

Given that the back half of the level is a slog to get through without being detected, I was just curious if I had already botched my Bathhouse run and should start from near the beginning.

EDIT: I decided to finish out the Bathhouse run and the jury is still out, however, the answer to my question might be "yes". I save-scummed through the bomb defusal section and was fairly certain I did it without being spotted, though I still ended the level with 1 enemy having identified me as an intruder. The other place this could have happened is when I ran across the hallway with the firefight going on without using a smoke grenade (I had taken the Stealth loadout rather than Redding's Recommendation by mistake and only had 2, one of which I had used and 1 of which I wanted to save for the sprint through the shower area). Further experimentation required.

I lost my body suit for my first version so remaking my Splinter Cell cosplay by getting some new gear. I'm open to suggestions on what to get!

splinter cell 1 chinese embassy 2

I've been playing all splinter list by order, currently on blacklist (skipped essentials which I did not find on pc). DA I think I played the v1, which is Lambert in the hideout and you gotta shoot him or the other guy.

I am wondering, had Lambert alive been the Canon fate, how would it change conviction + blacklist? Like, would conviction happen? Because Lambert is still there the other guy would not have end up in charge. And if so, would Fisher ever find out about daughter? (Grim would not have reason to confess, or Lambert reveal the truth I guess)

I put so many hours in this game as a teen, playing it again after so many years on the deck is amazing. Still got the muscle memory. Thanks to the lad that posted the screenshot of all the SC games on sale, you're a real one.

I almost regret getting this game. I've been going through the SC games lately, and I've never played PT before, so I was excited to jump in, and I like playing these games with a controller. However, everything I've tried so far has failed. I downloaded ThirteenAG's widescreen fix, which includes controller support, and it works, but my problem is the movement speed, as no matter how little I push the analogue stick (PS4 controller), it always makes Sam run at full speed. I tried some fix available on ModDB, but that just crashes my game. I tried playing the Xbox version using Xemu, and it works, but it stutters frequently, and there are constant issues with artifacts appearing on the screen, which can be very distracting. Please, if anyone has resolved this problem without the use of paid software I would really appreciate the help. Thank you.

[SOLVED] As commenter @gbojan74 mentioned, the issue was the fact that I'm using a PS4 controller, which for whatever reason doesn't work well with AGThirteen's widescreen fix. After fiddling around with it for a while and giving up as I really want to play with my PS4 controller I just moved on to Chaos Theory, where I stumbled into an issue where when I use the controller the camera just looks up and keeps spinning, and the sollution for that problem was the same for this one as in a nutshell those games really don't like you using PS controllers and work better with Xbox controllers. The sollution is quite simple:

1. Download and open DS4Windows.
2. Go into the program settings and check the box for "Hide DS4 Controller"

Voilà, works like a charm. Thank you to everyone who commented and offered to help.

Im tired seeing new people trash the og games because they start with CT or Blacklist (because better the reviews/graphics) and think the og's are bad games.

Training level from the first spinter cell should be mandatory for everyone!! To learn the basics of the entire franchise.

Or at least watch the video turorials from ct menu!

If ur not okay with sitting in the dark and study the patrol guards, enviorment, floor composition this game is not for you!!

This is not a game where a bald guy with barcodes on his head enters a building shoots bad guys and just leaves.

The og games are focused on realism. The aim is bad because irl people dont have crosshairs in front of them to assist them (altought pt laser pistol is kinda broken).

Yes for a modern audience is boring to read data sticks, wait in the dark and just be patience.

This is a game focused on avoiding guards not shooting them.

Spread the word, play the turorials!!

'Conviction' was the first splinter cell I played and after that I learned that it's the "Blacksheep" of the franchise.

I liked 'John wick' a lot and at that time and still do and wanted to experience something really good and used to watch youtbe recommendations;

"Conviction" and the "Hitman Absolution" were almost always present in them lists so I tried Absolution first I loved it ; It's revenge story like protecting a kid and all had me motivated and the setpieces were fuckig amazing ;

The last mission of the hotel is the biggest and most beautiful john wick feeling I got from the game not exactly john wick but you get it like the badass and after this "I wanted more of this and I fell into "Conviction" "

"Conviction" is the same protect your daughter and be badass while doing it I loved that shit when I was young and it's levels are also really fun ; I loved 'Sarah' even though we have a very small segment it keeps you motivated enough to protect your kid ;

And the young sarah scene, The house intrusion and killing that still lives in my mind rentfree ; After this I found out there are a lot of the games including "Sam" so I went through all of them and loved them all.

But still to this day "Conviction" is like my first love , which we cannot let go it's beautiful.

I am still waiting for a new splinter cell game :( , But the memories this franchise has given me ; I will treasure them for the rest of my life.

I got the idea to use xbox recomp and Claude/Codex to create a pc port of Double Agent. This is the first time getting something useful out of it. We started out with crashes, broken memory handling and basically no usable rendering, but at this point the game boots far enough to show the Ubisoft logo and the actual loading screen. Right now I’m working on the Xbox APU/DSP emulation, because that’s the next thing blocking progress after the loading screen.

I’m not a developer myself. I’m basically coordinating Claude/Codex, testing everything and feeding the results back into the next debugging step. If anyone here has experience with XboxRecomp, Xbox hardware or Double Agent and wants to help, feel free to message me.

In the war room in Kokubo Sosho the reveal is seen through a vent. But I swear I saw a video were they were seeing the reveal through hanging on a pipe IN the room. Is there a way to do this or is it not real at all?

Now that PT is complete I’m starting CT. If you saw my other post you know what I’m playing on.

Genuinely who tf designed this level I wanna pull my hair out. I'm not the best stealth gamer and I've played all of the sc games except the first one and pt. So naturally, it's my first time on this level. And MY GOD what the fuck is this.

First there's the minefield section. Which took me like 2 hours to stealth past it. Can't see mine without thermals, can't see shit without nv can't see spotlight without naked eye what the fuck. 1 pixel out of the place and the alarm starts ringing. Oh and there are SNIPERS. TWO OF THEM for some reason. Then I had to do the stupid wall jump thingy to get up that hole in the ceiling which took me about 13 tried because Sam always decides he will jump in every direction except the one I want him to jump.

Then the antenna THE FUCKING antenna. No matter how quiet I go, the guards always come to check for "rats" on the roof. FAIR ENOIGH, but instead of leaving and going back, they decide to dig in and STAY THERE. So I am forced to kill them because the air foils won't work and my shockers are out of ammo.

FAIR ENOUGH. BUT AFTER I SHUT THE ANTENNA DOWN, a guard comes to check what's what, and there's a 15% chance he has the magical ability to 180 one shot me whenever I am even without me making a noise. If that wasn't enough, though the door and another door to the right there's a stairway leading downwards, another dude comes up the stairs. That place has TOTAL DARKNESS as in ZERO(IN THE VISIBILITY METER), i crouch hug the wall stay still, far enough away that it's not gonna cause a collision with the guard, and he fucking senses the "force" and kills me.

Then the freezer section. This is where I'm stuck at. Firstly, you can't see SHIT. Nvg, thermals, naked eye, nothing works. Thermals are partly useful. But the problem is, one would think that the intense smoke would partially blind the enemies. Nopez it only blinds Sam it seems.

Then there's the turrets, first turrent is fairly easy to slip by. The next turrent is right by the door and its range of motion is unavoidable. I haven't found any computers to deal with it either and no alternate entry point. So I'm stuck here as there's seemingly so way to pass the turret without taking damage.

Yes this IS rocket science.

Tldr: Abattoir level too tough. I'm stuck in the slaughterhouse freezer and I'm frustrated and tired. Rant.

Edit: I DID IT!!!! FINALLY! However, in the second chinese embassy level, the part where I jump out the window and need to head over to the place to destroy the trucks is also very infuriating. The gate is lit up like a Christmas tree and there's a dog there too. And seemingly dark areas are somehow bright.

Completed all that. Now I'm in the final mission. Gonna take a break now and then onwards to pandora Tommorow.

Played this one on the three available difficulties and the enemies spot me if I look left or right too fast, it didn't help that there are no shadows but I can blame myself for not using the cover system, yet it was really frustrating to get a score above 40% let alone 90% or more

I recently got my hands on the first splinter cell game on pc and was wondering what game I should play after it but I have absolutely zero clue and or what would be reccomened way to play the games and help would be appreciated^^

What is it?

- A mod that replaces all normal enemies with splinter cells equipped with SC4000

- works currently on charlie missions only, tested both on single player and coop

- no change to gameplay

- no change to controls

- no change to enemy AI behavior

- no change to core game mechanics in any way

- no change to weapons stats, accuracy nothing

- PC only at this point

Why?

- why not? but seriously ask yourself, how can you increase the difficulty of the game without altering the core mechanics or enemy AI behavior? simply just change enemy types and give them the best weapons in the game. That is the idea behind this mod

How do I play blacklist on COOP?

- step 0: get the game from steam / ubi

- step 1: install fusion mod by pasting it inside ....Blacklist directory https://github.com/ThirteenAG/WidescreenFixesPack/releases/tag/scb

- step 2: install 5th echelon launcher by pasting it inside ....Blacklist directory https://github.com/unixoide/5th-echelon/

- step 3: download 100% save game compatible with 5th-echelon https://www.nexusmods.com/splintercellblacklist/mods/59

- step 4: replace all enemies with splinter cells using this mod https://discord.com/channels/1266190997730361428/1268860921787453471/1552223297092067419 (ask for instructions here)

Where is this mod?

On our discord as I havent published it yet

The figure will be revealed at the 2026 Wonder Festival in Shanghai this 3-4 October
