Issues unresolved
Alt+Tab
There are issues using Alt+Tab ↹ in fullscreen mode. If used too many times, it will disconnect players connected to your server and can even crash the game.
30 FPS Lock/Limit
Unfortunately, Ubisoft's netcode only supports a max of 30 frames per second for proper sync between players in multiplayer. Bypassing this limit results in things such as co-op actions not executing properly, and so on.
Issues fixed
Missing Torchlight/Flashlight
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory's Versus mode has some problems rendering certain lighting effects on modern machines. This problem makes it very difficult to play properly. Certain shadows may not render, and mercenaries' flashlights don't work, severely impairing gameplay. Follow the steps below to fix these issues:
