Issues fixed

Can't connect to an online game

Disable non-used network adapters[citation needed]

Run the game at screen refresh rate

Fullscreen mode only offers the option to use a refresh rate of 100 Hz or less, even if the screen's refresh rate is set higher than that.
Set screen refresh rate[4]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open Video.scr with a text editor.
  3. Set MaxRefresh to the screen refresh rate (e.g. MaxRefresh(120)).
  4. Add Fullscreen() at the bottom if it doesn't exist.

The game starts with upside down, and black and white videos

Windows 8, 8.1 and later systems are affected. If this 'bug' is happening, just follow the instructions below.
Instructions[5]
  1. Download and extract the Sniper: Ghost Warrior 'Upside down', 'black and white' menu fix.
  2. Go to <path-to-game>\Game\Data\Menu\Movies\ and make a backup from the files inside.
  3. Replace the existing files with the new ones. Now the game's background, intros and credits should look like normal.
