Sam Fisher, world's greatest stealth operative is called in again by Third Echelon to rescue hostages in a United States Embassy in East Timor. They are being held by Suhadi Sadono, leader of the Indonesian militia organization Darah Dan Doa. Although Sadono is able to evade capture during Fisher's Embassy operation, Fisher is able to gather intel on Sadono's terrorist plan "Pandora Tomorrow." Third Echelon discovers that Sadono has hidden biological bombs equipped with smallpox throughout the United States that will detonate if Sadono is killed or detained. Because of the sensitive nature of this operation, Fisher has to infiltrate various Darah Dan Doa strongholds to interrogate other leaders of the organization, and intercept phone calls placed by Sadono to learn the locations of the bombs.

3.4. Bugs and Comments
Video refresh rate:
Refresh rate selection is not available on Windows 98 and Windows ME.The
refresh
rate can be selected only by the desktop properties. This is not a bug but
only a different way of working under Windows 98 and Windows ME.
Always select the highest refresh rate supported by your monitor.
This ensures a more fluid and visually pleasing game.
**** Sound Compatibility ****
Use of HeadSet (Headphones/Microphone):
- If there are severalsound cards on the PC (I am thinking of the Sound Card
+ Integrated Sound Card + Motherboard setup): in the setup panel, you must
select the card you want as the default card, for input (microphone) and output
(loudspeaker).
- Do not forget that sometimes there is a volume control or a switch for the
microphone on the headset lead.
- The mixing must be correctly configured for input and output: in the
recording
mapper (setup panel > sound > audio > sound recording > volume), select the
microphone(even if no microphone is connected). Choose a correct recording
volume
and activate the pre-amplifier if necessary. In the reading mapper
(setup panel > sound > audio > sound reading > volume) select the correct
volumes.
If necessary, set microphone input to silent to avoid hearing yourself
through the loudspeakers.
- Depending on the setup(operating system + DirectX), it may be necessary
to change the hardware acceleration(setup panel > sound > audio >
sound reading > advanced).
- Some drivers apply an effect to sounds read by the PC. For some setups,
this may interfere with the operation of the sound engine.
- With some cards, a half-duplex/full-duplex manual setup is possible.
For this game, the card should be set up for full-duplex.- As far as
the headset is concerned, if the Internet connection is poor, there is
a risk of interference or breaks in voice communication during the game.
- It is often possible to configure sound cards so that they only
put out the sound signal on their digital output. In this event, you should
check that this is compatible with the audio equipment used (you should
use a digital amplifier connected to the digital output).
See the sound card manual.
- Check that the input/output cables are correctly connected
(2 cables to connect when using a headset). Do not forget that
sometimes there is a volume control or a switch for the microphone
on the headset lead.
General:
- Sound quality problems may be experienced with nForce sound cards.
**** Graphics Compatibility ****
- If the game is very slow, or the display corrupted, check that
anti-aliasing is not forced at the level of the drivers.
If this is the case, deactivate it.
- Graphical problems may be experienced with GeForce FX. Update
your drivers with the latest available version onthe nVidia site
(http://www.nvidia.com). Using ALT-TAB to toggle to the desktop
and back to the game should correct these problems.
- If your monitor switches to Energy Saving, update the drivers
for your screen.
- Problems may be experienced with ATI Catalyste Version 4.2 drivers.
Use version 4.1, or an earlier version than 4.2.
- With GeForce 3, the use of 56.09 drivers, or higher,
provides improved performance in high resolution with enhanced
graphic detail. However, the game runs properly with versions
53.03 and higher.
**** Network Compatibility ****
Problems with Firewalls
If you have a firewall on your Internet connection, the following
ports should be open (consult your firewall documentation):
TCP 40000 to 43000 included
UDP 44000 in input/output
UDP 45000 in input/output
UDP 45001 in input/output
UDP 7776 in input/output
UDP 8888 in input/output
If you have a NAT on your Internet connection, PING requests must be answered
(consult the documentation for your NAT).
**** Hardware Compatibility ****
Motherboard drivers and BIOS settings:
If your computer does not respond, check that your motherboard
drivers are up-to-date. If you have carried out changes to BIOS
and the game crashes, try restoring the default settings
(or security settings).
