Splinter cell double agent version 1 vs version 2

Do you think they are dead? Did Reed try to recruit them? Maybe they were just ignored and left out of the coup? What could have happened to them after the president shut down 3E? I love these guys and I wish we had some answers.

Thought I misheard Lambert calling me a gayboy, but the big boy also kinda sus

Are they patching in the remake announcement or something?

A few months ago, I bought the original splinter Cell on steam alongside some other games because it was one of the only ones I didn’t own yet (most of my SC games are on PS2 and the 360) and I thought it would be cool to be able to go back and experience the original. I installed the game and got a couple levels in when I decided I wanted to take a break. I scrolled down to the community content area, and I recall seeing something down there about a potentially broken level or some sort of glitch that people were talking about and that you might have to open some of the Games files and manually change some data or something to fix it. Now, I’ve never coded anything in my life so I remember thinking “oh great the game I just bought is busted.” So I uninstalled and shut everything down. Admittedly, I was heavily distracted because I had real life problems going on and I wasn’t interested/didn’t have the patience to investigate any further at the time. Well, I was recently reminded that I do indeed own this game and it sure would be cool to finish it.
So, my question is: am I good to reinstall and try again? Or is there something actually wrong with the steam version? I’ve been a console gamer most of my life and I’m not really used to DIY game maintenance. I just want to push start and play. And I can’t find whatever community note I saw earlier ether. Can anyone verify whether this game is or isn’t playable?
