    Hi,

    I was wondering if Splinter Cell: Double Agent would work on Vista Ultimate x64 or not. I went to the website, but I didn't see where it lists what systems the game would be compatible with. Has anyone played it on Vista x86 or x64, particularly the latter? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

    It's been a while but, if I recall correctly there was an issue with this game and the previous SC games under 64bit OS due to their Starforce DRM implementation. this resulted in inability to install/launch the game or as Jimbo pointed out crashes... Not sure if it was ever patched but, the last I recall reading was that they officially sanctioned the use of the "No-DVD" patches/fixes...

    As far as performance, DA still used an upgraded version of the Unreal 2.5 engine from what I remember and ran very well on the older ATI X700/800 series so I would guess any recent video adapter would be up to the task. Good luck :)

    Jimbo1 and Davwin,

    Thank you both for the input. I guess I'll just have to use my XP HDD. I haven't logged into that for a very long time, and I was trying to avoid having to do that just to play the game each time. Ah well. Thank you both again.
