Warnings
- The Mac OS X version of this game does not work on Mac OS X Lion (version 10.7) or later due to the removal of support for PowerPC apps.
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell is a singleplayer third-person action and stealth game in the Splinter Cell series.
It is based on the technically superior Xbox version and, as a result of this, the PlayStation 2 exclusive mission Nuclear Power Plant is missing. The depth of field effect that appears when using night goggles on the Xbox version is also missing.

Issues unresolved
Sounds stop playing
- When quicksaving or entering the menu (OPSAT), some looped sounds such as clock ticking or water running may not be played.
Quick save and quick load the game to reset sounds[7] |
---|
Vselka Infiltration - Stuck in the control room
- In the Vselka Infiltration mission, after using the laptop in the control room, the player can not get out because the doors remain closed.
Since the enemies that are supposed to open them, they can get stuck in the stairway. - This issue does not occur if you do not quick save during the mission.
Use no clip cheat[14] |
---|
|
Issues fixed
Broken shadows
- Relying on a now-obsolete feature of Nvidia GPUs, the default "buffer" shadows are broken on modern hardware. This impacts gameplay, as many light sources (e.g. searchlights) become invisible but can still trigger alarms.
Use dgVoodoo 2 with default buffer shadows
Use dgVoodoo 2[15] |
---|
|
Force projector shadows
- The game, when tweaked, supports projection shadows which work on modern hardware.
Run the game with the -shadowmode=projector command line argument[7]

---|
Edit SplinterCell.ini[15] |

|
Official patch does not install (retail)
- When trying to install the official patches, an error message may pop up since the installer cannot find the correct version number.

Frame rate issues
- The game is capped at 200 FPS.
- Above 60 FPS, some physics of "softbody" materials like curtains are broken[17].
- If its above 100 FPS, the Bottom Tooltip has erratic movement[18][citation needed].
- If it exceeds 120 FPS, pathfinding is broken[citation needed].
- These issues also happen in Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow.
Use dgVoodoo 2[19] |

Mods
- PS3 Textures - higher resolution textures from the PS3 version, mostly faithful to the original ones. The only exceptions are the removal of ads and the Abattoir level which looks much cleaner. Causes certain shadows not to display correctly.
- PS2 Cutscenes for PC - replaces the FMV cutscenes with the PS2 ones which had a slightly altered story, certain dates were changed in the mod to make sense chronologically. The videos are only in English.
- Unlocked Thermal Vision Mod - allows the use of thermal vision goggles in the first four missions of the game.
- Xbox DLC Loading Screens - replaces the loading screens for the bonus missions with the ones from the Xbox versions.
- Improved loading screens[20] - adds new loading screens for bonus missions that fit much better with the rest of the game and flesh out the story. It restores the correct loading screens displayed between Kalinatek and Chinese Embassy from the leaked Xbox prototype. Only works when the game language is set to English.
- Spell Check - fixes some typos from the English version of the game.
- Texture Shader Fixes[21][22] - disables problematic texture shaders that render incorrectly on PC at certain angles, improving visual quality. Affected levels include Defense Ministry and CIA HQ.
