Wow Splinter Cell...
I remember playing the old version on Windows XP a few years ago and it was basically impossible to get the light / shadow effects working correctly.
The game originated on the Xbox and when it came out it used features of AMD and Nvidia cards of that time. As new cards and drivers came out these features don't work anymore.
In the later levels you can't see spotlights and things like that.
Has GOG.com addressed this at all?
The main "PC" Splinter Cell is Chaos Theory. An absolute GEM. All other releases have issues on the PC and are best played on the Xbox.
