Issues And Fixes

Black Screen

A black screen can sometime occur when running the game. This may be caused by not being able to run cinematics correctly. Disable cinematics to fix this issue.

Crashes at Startup

In the root of your installation directory, there should be a Sherman.log file. If your game is crashing, errors should be reported here.

Renderer::CreateBuffers() failed

If you see the message Renderer::CreateBuffers() failed during ClearBuffers() : Blt() in file C:\Develop\Common\Renderer\renderer.cpp at line 1330 Error = "An exception was encountered while performing the requested operation." in your Sherman.log file and you are using an Nvidia card, try updating your drivers. This issue is known to occur when using the 331.40 beta drivers and is known to be resolved by upgrading to the 331.65 release drivers.

Disable Cinematic

The executable DevicePicker.exe can be run to disable cinematics.

Files can also be deleted manually by emptying the folder:

\Red Storm Entertainment\Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six\data\video

Software Rendering

The software renderer in Eagle Watch doesn't support transparent windows, while the main game used a semi-transparent grill to show windows instead. The result is that enemies can see and kill through windows.

This only affects old systems without a 3D accelerator.
