- Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) support status is unknown.
VR support
Issues unresolved
Software rendering
The software renderer in Eagle Watch does not 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.
Missing music
The GOG version is missing the game's music as it was streamed directly from the CD and the game's files were not altered to either contain the music or play non-CD music.
As it stands, the GOG version will only have music if the player has a CD or ISO of the original game's disc mounted.
Issues fixed
Game crashes at startup on Windows 10
Black screen
- A black screen can sometimes occur when running the game. This may be caused by not being able to run cinematics correctly.
Crashes at startup
- If the game is crashing, error reports can be found in
Sherman.log.
Renderer::CreateBuffers() failed
If 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." is shown in Sherman.log and an Nvidia card is used, try updating the 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.[citation needed]
Renderer::Fullscreen() failed
If the message Renderer::Fullscreen() failed during Renderer::SetDisplayMode() in file C:\Develop\Common\Renderer\renderer.cpp at line 1244
Error = "Operation requires the application to have exclusive mode but the application does not have exclusive mode." is shown in Sherman.log and an ATI/AMD card is used, use either of the following methods:
|
Method 1: Roll back the display driver to a version prior to 13.4 if applicable[citation needed]
|
|
Method 2: Set up the game compatibility settings[citation needed]
|
- Set up the game to play in a window.
- Right-click on
RainbowSix.exe and select "Properties".
- Go to the Compatibility tab and apply the following settings: 16-bit color mode, "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings", Run this program as an administrator.
- Launch the game.
|
Invisible NPCs
- There are some missions where the victory conditions will not trigger. For instance, in mission 5 (Ghost Dance), there are supposed to be 5 hostages, but the player might only see 4 actually rendered in the level. The 5th one will appear on the map but not in the level. This happens due to the modification of files within
<path-to-game>\data\character\ during level loading.
Inside <path-to-game>\data\, set character as read-only before the very first launching of a mission[citation needed]
|
{{Fixbox|description=For the digital versions, they have a corrupted character folder with some characters missing their "LOD" Models which causes them not to load at all.}|fix=
- Download the original game's characters folder.
- Extract its contents into the game's folder, replacing everything.}.
|
Modify the mission victory conditions file[5]
|
- Go to
<path-to-game>\data\mission\ and open the specific mission victory conditions text file with a text editor.
- The text files will include the mission number and the difficulty in the name (for this fix, look for
VicCondM5Med.txt). In the file, find the NUMBER ALL portion below the Condition 0: Rescue the hostages section.
- Change it from
ALL to 4.
- Save the changes and launch the game.
Notes
- This fix can be applied to any level with similar victory conditions (e.g. if the condition is "kill all terrorists" and the level fails to load some of the terrorists).
- Note that for this fix, mission 5 on medium difficulty will allow the mission to be completed with the 4 hostages rendered. To apply the fix to other difficulty levels, modify the respective text files.
|
Music does not play
|
Instructions[citation needed]
|
- Download ayuanx's ogg-winmm wrapper.
- Extract its contents into
<path-to-game>.
- Rename
winmm.dll to wincd.dll, and winmm.ini to wincd.ini.
- Download the Hex Editor.
- Open
RainbowSix.exe with the Hex Editor, then replace winmm.dll to wincd.dll.
Notes
- The method makes the OGG tracks located in
<path-to-game>\MUSIC\ properly play and loop.
