SafeDisc retail DRM does not work on Windows Vista and later (see above for affected versions).
The game is no longer available digitally, most likely due to Activision losing rights to James Bond license.[3]
Both the Camille Map Pack DLC, and Collector's Edition was not released for PC.
All versions require Games for Windows - LIVE DRM.[Note 2]

Essential improvements

Patches

The 1.1 Patch updates the game to the latest version. The game should automatically prompt for the update when using a LIVE profile; the update can also be downloaded manually (extract the contents and run QoS_Update.exe).

Issues fixed

Freeze/Black Screen During Loading

Use a local (offline) Games for Windows - LIVE profile[citation needed]
Using an online GFWL or Xbox profile will cause the game to freeze after the 2nd mission's initial loading cutscene (Siena). Using a local GFWL profile resolves this, however you will not be able to unlock achievements nor access the save from your online profile.
  1. Click here for instructions on creating a local profile.

Notes

  1. SafeDisc retail DRM does not work on Windows 10[1] or Windows 11 and is disabled by default on Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 when the KB3086255 update is installed.[2]
  2. Games for Windows - LIVE DRM features: Legacy activation, local profile support unknown.
  3. When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
  4. 4.0 4.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/10080/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (10080) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
