Issues unresolved
Emile Dufraisne's bedroom room bug
There's a door in Emile's office supposed to lead you to his bedroom. Unfortunately the "open door" action hint is shown for half a quarter of second and it's practically impossible to take it. This is particularly annoying if you are trying to take Emile personal data files (located in his bedroom). There's three way to work around this bug:
- Make Emile opening the door by making noise near the door (make sure to stay close to him, because if the door closes, you won't be able to reopen again)
- Waiting until JBA HQ part 4 (the last mission) where this bug seems to be fixed.
- Use ghost cheat.
Game crash with a runtime error
Game may often crash/freeze on saving and loading screens, as well as upon being maximized from taskbar. Usually it is followed by a C++ runtime error. There is a supposed fix which advises to launch SplinterCell4.exe with -ll parameter, but it's a false advice, as game launcher already does that by default, so there is no reason to do that manually.
Issues fixed
Game hangs during last mission
During the last mission, after you have defuse the bomb (due to a weird bug that occurs with different resolutions) the game could freeze, right before the SWAT team breaking. There's two way to fix this. One is switching resolution back to 640x480. The other is explained below

Coast guard gets stuck in the door on Cozumel
- This bug occurs while the game is set not to remove certain environment objects when Environment Detail option is set to "High". Mistakenly, the door appears to be one of those objects.

Kinshasa (Part 2) map is over-bright
- Kinshasa (Part 2) map becomes excessively bright when user sets SimpleShader option to False in game's configuration file to improve visual quality.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/13580/in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (13580) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
