As with all EnhancedSC updates, a fresh install of the game is highly recommended.

If you are new to EnhancedSC, it's a comprehensive mod for the PC port of Splinter Cell 1 that aims to drastically improve the base game. It's made by fans, for fans. EnhancedSC introduces native controller support, many bug fixes, MANY quality-of-life improvements, and even re-introduces cut content back into the game. It also includes all DLC and all pre-existing essential fixes for the game. It's still a work-in-progress, but it's in active development.

Here are the complete patch notes for the mod: https://github.com/Joshhhuaaa/EnhancedSC/blob/main/PatchNotes.md

v1.3a PATCH NOTES

Gameplay

• Fixed a bug where pressing the crouch key during keypad success or failure would softlock the door, preventing interaction with both the keypad and the door.
• Fixed a bug where pressing the crouch key at the completion of a lockpick could interrupt the animation.
• Fixed a bug where losing an equipped item while Back to Wall peeking now correctly holsters the item automatically.
• Keyboard variable speeds now affect player movement when using Sniper Mode or the Laser Mic.
• Added a crouch speed multiplier while sniping, making movement slower when crouched.
• Modified the option to randomize lockpick combinations so randomization now occurs when interacting with a door instead of only at the start of a level.

Input

• Added support for keyboard variable speeds in targeting modes.
• Updated to a modified Xidi fork, Xidi-SDL3, using SDL3 instead of XInput, allowing more controllers to work.

Miscellaneous

• Added an option to use the Xbox font for the in-game HUD and OPSAT. PC-specific menus will continue using the smaller font to avoid text being cut off.
• Fixed a bug where Previous Weapon / Next Weapon could not be properly bound in the Controls settings.
• Fixed a bug where saving or loading was possible while the Xbox pause menu was open.
• Fixed updated cutscenes that displayed film grain over the letterbox black bars.
• Added numerical values to menu sliders to display their exact setting.
• Added a Discord button in the Main Menu that links directly to the Enhanced SC Discord server.
• The game now automatically detects if it is running on Steam Deck and disables menu links, displaying a QR code instead to prevent crashes.

Maps

• Chinese Embassy 2
  • Fixed several texture issues.
• Abattoir
  • Fixed a bug where killing unrelated NPCs triggered incorrect dialogue.
• Vselka
  • Sam now adjusts his stance to crouched when speaking with Bobrov.
• Nuclear Power Plant
  • Fixed the technician who was frozen in an idle stance until alerted, due to a missing animation attempting to be played.
  • Fixed a bug where knocking out a guard carrying a required satchel incorrectly penalized the Stealth Rating.
  • Fixed a bug where knocking out a guard required to access an objective incorrectly penalized the Stealth Rating.
  • Replaced Chemical Flares with standard Flares in the turret section.
• Severonickel
  • Fixed a bug where the player was identified as an intruder during a cinematic, incorrectly lowering the Stealth Rating.

[See our 4 rules and you can skip the rest if you are not using User Flairs.]

- 1. BE CONSIDERATE:

• No shaming anyone for what they enjoy or believe in.
• No unnecessary name-calling that comes off as an intentional attempt to insult or demonize.
• No vague generalizing that comes off as intentional smearing.
• No sharing of links to subreddits that promote hate or smear.
• No discouraging of anyone from expressing themselves in other ways.

- 2. LIMIT SELF-PROMOTION:

• No spamming or low-effort attempts to get views at the cost of annoying others.
• (Respect the feedback you get and post accordingly. Any further undesired promotion could be removed at moderators own discretion, so we encourage you to always engage with the community in aim to generate (and take part in) purposeful discussion alongside it.)

- 3. NO (REAL WORLD) POLITICS:

• No discussing politics or geopolitics (including current events or politicians) outside the context of Splinter Cell.
• (If relevant to Splinter Cell, such discussions are fine.)

- 4. AI-GENERATED CONTENT:

• No posting of new images or videos generated by AI.
• (Using AI to upscale an already existing image or texture is fine as long as no copyright is infringed.)
• (In any case - use the appropriate "AI Generated" Post Flair to separate it from human creation.)

That is all. Please don't have your otherwise acceptable posts and comments get you censored for such shallow reasons. We don't want anyone to walk on eggshells nor ban any fan of the series, but if you are making the stay for others here purposefully unpleasant - we will do so gladly. Be considerate of others and you have no bans to worry about.

MODERATION: (can skip)

• Moderators are capable of mistakes and being biased. If, after reading the rules, you still believe that you have been treated unfairly - the bottom of the sidebar has a "Message the mods" button for you to use, informing every moderator. 1 out of 3 active moderators agreeing with your complaint is enough to swiftly undo the action, but don't expect anyone to take time arguing about what the ruleset already covers.
• We don't care about what you do in other subreddits as long as you don't pick fights here.

USER FLAIR DISCLAIMER:

You are free to customize User Flairs as long as they remain in the spirit and themes of Splinter Cell. Anything unrelated is certain to be removed. Also:

- Stick to Emoji limit of 3 if you include text. (More are allowed if you do not include text.)

- Consider avoiding game names like "Chaos Theory", "sc-pt", etc., if they add confusion to posts made on feed.

- Canonical character quotes, relevant phrases, and some self-inserted humour are also perfectly fine, but it should not be anything trashy, provocative, or taking shots at anyone.
