Apr 14, (THAINDIAN NEWS) The die hard fans of the game franchise ‘Splinter Cell’ who brought the latest edition named ‘Splinter Cell: Conviction’ found a strange problem while playing the game on their Xbox consoles yesterday. The much awaited game reportedly froze while the gamers tried playing the second mission. The single player mode and online mode possible contain some glitches. However, the freezing problem did not last for long. Worried gamers tried posting their comments in online gaming forums and Ubisoft, the publisher of the game did not waste time in declaring a fix for the problem. The players who were facing the problem can restart and they will get an option to download a patch.

In case someone finds his Xbox is not displaying the option to download a patch they can follow a procedure as recommended by Ubisoft. The player needs to select the Xbox 360 dashboard and select system settings thereafter. Then he should select memory and pick the HDD option. After clearing the system cache the problem would be fixed and he will not face system freezes. The solution has come as a relief for the Xbox owners who purchased the game recently.

‘Splinter Cell’ is a reputed series of PC and console games authored by Tom Clancy who is also the creator of Ghost Recon games. The Splinter Cell is known for its protagonist Sam Fisher. Conviction is said to be far more action oriented compared with its prequels. It boasts several new features including ‘mark and execute’ that helps in killing the enemies faster. The game has created a major hype among the FPS lovers worldwide.
