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.
Dxtory and other conflicts
Users have reported issues playing the game if Dxtory or similar program is running. If you launch the game with Dxtory running and attempt to start a mission, it may crash after the initial loading screen. It's recommended you close any programs programs similar to Dxtory and relaunch the game.[2]
Disconnect at random intervals during co-op campaign
There is an issue for some users happening at random after a couple of minutes where the game disconnects both players while playing the co-op campaign. The issue can be encountered 100% during the training mission while hacking the first laptop the players come across. In subsequent missions it seems to happen randomly after some time. No real fixes have been reported that work for everyone. For some completely uninstalling Norton (NOD32) solved the problem [3]
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:
