007: NightFire is a first-person shooter video game featuring the British secret agent James Bond. It's a sequel to Agent Under Fire.

Problems

Movies

Movies from missions "Paris Prelude", "Alpine Escape", "Enemies Vanquished", "Deep Descent" and "Island Infiltration" are displayed incorrectly with black and white garbage in the top portion of the screen.(See issue 5755 & issue 5046). The other movies play correctly, including the intro. This issue has been partially fixed as of 4.0-593, videos play correctly besides some vertical line artifacting.

Lag

From 3.0 to 4.0-706 and later (legacy builds untested): Single Player lags when looking at characters / when characters are in view. When the code cache clears it fixes itself, just not for long. You can fix the lag issue by going into the game properties and enabling "MMU Speed Hack" and "Enable MMU". Fixes the lag on walking missions but seems to worsen the problem on vehicle missions.

Config

Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed.

3.0-840	Windows 7 x64	Intel i5 2500K @ 3.7GHz	nVidia GeForce GTX 580	Game playable at full speed both with HLE and LLE Sound Emulation in Single Player and Multiplayer modes. Few slowdowns are not noticeable if not monitoring speed % in OSD. Black and white garbage is shown instead of the correct videos in several missions. Only noticeable slowdowns I've experienced took place in missions involving vehicles (such as "Paris Prelude" while sniping in the helicopter). These slowdowns become considerably worse in LLE Sound Emu.	FrankJaeger
