Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell is an action-adventure stealth game, developed by Ubisoft Montreal and built on the Unreal Engine 2.

The character of Sam Fisher is voiced by actor Michael Ironside. His boss, Irving Lambert, is voiced by actor Don Jordan.

Problems

Missing Videos

Enable "External Frame Buffer" Real to avoid video just being a black screen. Fixed with Hybrid XFB in 5.0-5874.

Aspect Ratio Flickering

Dolphin's aspect ratio detection can sometimes become confused by this title, rapidly swapping between 4:3 and 16:9 modes. Refer issue 9895.

This can be seen in the first level, "Police station", in the stage just after you passed the burning building. While walking along a balcony at the end, you can cling to a pipe to cross the street canyon. Near the corner with the pipe, the screen suddenly starts jumping between 4:3 and 16:9 mode. Fixed in 5.0-3305.

Configuration
