Splinter Cell Black Screen Fix
This fix is for the people that install the game and once the mission / or any mission loads everything is black except for certain lighting objects.

open up the splinter cell install directory and click on the system folder. It will look something like this. B:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Splinter Cell\system

Open up the splintercell config file and edit these settings. You want the values to be this. If you use vsync and want better performance set both UseTripleBuffering to True.

[D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice]

If you use thirteenAG's widescreen fix it also fixs this issue. Link to additional fixes.
