i recently bought splinter celli/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gifandora tomorrow PC version on my local EB and guess what. Ubisoft screws up by not puting CD key in every shipment in Aus. after buying it i later found this out and went back to the store that i bought it from and i was told about that. and store cleck told me that if i want the CD key i need to phone up Ubisoft to get it.

i was expecting a great multiplayer game online but because i dont have the CD key i said to myself i'll give this game another chance on it's single player mode. then it end up there are graphic glitches. bright green or purple triangles strated to block my view and pops out of no where. it couldnt be my PC cos i've meet every requirement on the box...unless there are things the box aint tellin...but boxes never lies.right??

anyone suffer from this prob??pls share your ordeal.

on the bright side the multiplayer mode rocks. i played it on my frend xbox and i can safely say that it's the best multiplayer shoot em up eva.

Sounds like you need to upgrade or at least change your video drivers. I haven't had any problems with it. Also, do you have the latest DirectX installed?

although i dont know about the Direct X thingy. i thought they've include the latest version on the game.

I never bought it, I only played the demo but it's the same engine. Try updating your drivers from www.nvidia.com - this is most likely the problem.

I have a friend who plays via a different non-AUS server, not sure which one though. She's been playing for ages now.
