It only happens when playing in a 16:9 aspect ratio.
This one is the most ridiculous, I think.
I found this issue persisted on my Steam copy, but not with Uplay, so it’s hard to say for sure what will fix it. Unfortunately there’s no easy fix for this, some suggestions are changing the core affinity in task manager and allowing only 3-4 CPU cores OR reinstalling the game. Again, this is in my own experience and it helped the issue immensely.Īnother issue you may encounter & again, this is in Shanghai, is freezing during an auto save checkpoint. Depending how far your attempts go before a reset, I’d suggest restarting at least every 15-20 mins.
To mitigate this, when you’re doing attempts (either full game or ILs) after a while RESTART the game. The reason being, it can’t play the conversation with Sam and Hisham. In Shanghai, this leads to you being stuck on the helipad when you land forever. In any case, the symptoms of this bug are simple enough:Īudio will not play in the chopper, all you’ll hear is background noise and Sam breathing really loudly. It’s most likely loading files into the RAM to access them quickly, but it fails to load in the audio files it needs, or loads too much into RAM and can’t access them quickly enough. The best guess as to why this happens is the game doesn’t properly manage memory, in this case RAM. You may have experienced this bug, when in the helicopter with Emile, there’s no dialog playing. Unfortunately though, if it happens at the beginning of Shanghai, you’re going to softlock. Sometimes it saves time too, but due to the fact it’s a somewhat random bug, it’s not allowed for speedrunning. It’s also really disconcerting cos all you really hear is Sam’s breathing. This one you might have experienced is when the audio completely stops, by which I mean, there’s no in game music or voices. Shanghai Audio Bug (can be present in other levels too) And I can’t guarantee you that the game won’t crash (a lot) but here’s some things I’ve done to help mitigate it a lot. So the PC version of Double Agent is a mess.
