Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory is a singleplayer and multiplayer third-person and first-person action and stealth game in the Splinter Cell series.

The PC version is based on the Xbox version, with additional enhancements such as HDR Rendering. Initially, the game did not support Shader Model 2.0, but it was eventually added with patch 1.04.^[1].

Various fixes are highly recommended, such as enabling support for proper widescreen and XInput controllers. The official online multiplayer service is no longer available.^[2]

60 FPS	Co-op is locked at 35 FPS. Versus is locked at 30 FPS; see Versus 30 FPS lock. For singleplayer, AI pathfinding becomes broken when playing at high FPS. Also, physics objects behave abnormally at FPS higher than 35. For example, objects attached to ropes swing too fast.
120+ FPS	Requires widescreen fix; see Widescreen resolution. Otherwise, singleplayer frame rate is capped at 100 FPS.
High dynamic range display (HDR)	See the glossary page for potential alternatives.

Widescreen resolution

Use Splinter Cell Chaos Theory Widescreen Fix^[8]

Download widescreen fix and extract the contents to <path-to-game>.
To enable windowed mode, open d3d9.ini and set ForceWindowedMode to 1.
In the scripts folder, open SplinterCellChaosTheory.WidescreenFix.ini.
Make sure that the value of GameLanguage matches your language.

Notes

Automatically adjusts resolution and FOV. Fixes HUD position and stretching. Allows to change the size of the shadow map in the INI file.

Works with downsampling or Nvidia DSR. Manually change the resolution in the supplied configuration file.

Includes an additional fix for the Alt+Tab ↹ issue, which restores the game window after it is minimized.

Unlocks the frame rate and adds a configurable limiter for it.

Adds optional Blacklist-style visibility indicators.

Widescreen - Singleplayer^{[citation needed]}

Go to the configuration file(s) location.
Open SplinterCell3.ini.
Adjust the following fields:

FullscreenViewportX= (line 98)
FullscreenViewportY= (line 99)

Notes

It is necessary to run the game at least once before these files appear.

Further adjustment of the graphics settings will revert the resolution to 4:3.

Widescreen - Versus^[9]

Go to %PROGRAMDATA%\Ubisoft\Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory\Saved Games\Versus.
Open <user-id>_prf.ini.
Look for ScreenRes= and set it to -1.
Save the changes.
Go to <path-to-game>\Versus\System and open Default.ini.
Scroll down to the [WinDrv.WindowsClient] section.
Adjust the following fields:

FullscreenViewportX=
FullscreenViewportY=

Notes

When changing the resolution values to a resolution different than one of the preset resolutions, Versus will only run by using low visual settings. The only workaround is to Alt+Tab ↹ out of the game and Alt+Tab ↹ back into the game, then the visual settings in the video options will be applied.

Anti-aliasing

HDR rendering and anti-aliasing can't be used together by default.

Force AA externally via Nvidia Profile Inspector (for Nvidia graphics only)
Use this compatibility flag `0x00001041` for traditional multi-sampling AA. Then adjust the strength as necessary.

Field of view (FOV)

Edit SplinterCell3User.ini^[5]

Go to the configuration files location.
Open SplinterCell3User.ini.
Adjust the following values:
DesiredFOV=75.0

DefaultFOV=75.0
Save the changes.

Notes

91.3154482287 is recommended for 16:9 displays, and 85.281271852 for 16:10 ones.

Apply this fix before creating a profile. If the profile was created before the fix, the player needs to zoom in/out with the weapon every time a previous save is loaded to use the custom FOV.

Do not edit the field of view if using the ThirteenAG's widescreen fix.

Both players must use the same field of view when joining a coop session.

Issues unresolved

Issues when using Alt+Tab

There are issues when using Alt+Tab ↹ in full screen mode. If used too many times, it disconnects players connected to the server and can even crash the game.

Issues fixed

Game crashes when trying to start new mission or change settings

Disable any software that hooks into graphic's API (most notably OBS and Dxtory)^[8]

Notes

To capture the game with OBS, force windowed mode and use Window Capture instead of Game Capture.

Enabling Steam Overlay

Steam Overlay does not work by default.

Use Steam Overlay Restoration
Download Steam Overlay Restoration, and extract its contents wherever you want. Run and exit the game. Run `EnableOverlay.cmd`.

Missing torchlight/flashlight in Versus mode

Versus mode has 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 do not work, severely impairing gameplay.

Use 3D-Analyze^[12]
Download and install 3D-Analyze. Run 3D-Analyze, choose "Select" and set `<path-to-game>\Versus\System\SCCT_Versus.exe`. Tick "Gun Metal Demo fix". Click "Save batch file!" and save the BAT file to an easily accessible location. Close 3D-Analyze and run the game directly from the BAT file.

Use dgVoodoo 2^[5]

Download the latest version of dgVoodoo 2.
Copy dgVoodooCpl.exe, dgVoodoo.conf, and \MS\x86\D3D8.dll to <path-to-game>\Versus\System.
Run dgVoodooCpl.exe, click on the DirectX tab and set:

Videocard to GeForce 4 Ti 4800.
VRAM to 256 MB.

Notes

Verified with version 2.8.2.

Even better looking shadows than 3D-Analyze.

The Unreal Level Editor included with the game will work correctly on dgVoodoo v2.8 or higher.

Do not force anti-aliasing (MSAA), it causes numerous graphical issues.

Versus Mode 30 FPS lock

Use SCCT Frame Rate Editor

Notes

It can be used to unlock the frame rate in Versus.

Netcode only supports a maximum of 30 FPS for proper sync between players in Versus.
Exceeding this limit sometimes results in several things, such as cooperative actions, not being executed correctly.

For the host, it is strongly recommended to play at 30 FPS, otherwise clients may experience more severe problems. Alternatively, use a dedicated server hosting at 30 FPS.

Slow motion gameplay on multi-core CPUs in Versus mode

Use alternate timer^[13]
Go to `<path-to-game>\Versus\System`. Open `Default.ini` in a text editor. Set `UseAlternateTimer=false` to `UseAlternateTimer=true`. Save the changes.

Night vision/thermal vision/EMF not displaying correctly

If everything turns white when night vision is activated and/or turns black when thermal vision/EMF is activated, follow one of the instructions below.

Run the game in compatibility for Windows XP Service Pack 3.

Minimize and restore the game by using `Alt`+`Tab ↹`^[14]

Select another shader model in the in-game display settings menu^[14]^[15]

Disable High dynamic range (HDR) rendering in the shader options when using Shader Model 3

Notes

If disabled, anti-aliasing can be used.

Shadows become more broken the wider the screen resolution

Use Widescreen Fix^[16]

Download the widescreen fix and extract its contents to <path-to-game>\System.
Go to the scripts folder and open SplinterCellChaosTheory.WidescreenFix.ini.
Change the value of SetShadowMapSize = 0 to 2048, 3072, 4096, 5120, 6144, 7168, or 8192.

Notes

The original unmodified shadow map size is 2048.

3072 is sufficient to fix this issue for 1080p.

SetShadowMapSize = 0 and SetShadowMapSize = 2048 disable the change of shadow map size.

Override does not work on modified executables with the alternative hexedit method.

Hexedit to increase shadow map size^[17]

Open SPLINTERCELL3.exe with a hex editor such as HxD.
Search and replace the hex values 68 00 08 00 00 68 00 08 00 00 in HxD with one of the following:
- 68 00 0C 00 00 68 00 0C 00 00 for 3072
- 68 00 10 00 00 68 00 10 00 00 for 4096
- 68 00 14 00 00 68 00 14 00 00 for 5120
- 68 00 18 00 00 68 00 18 00 00 for 6144
- 68 00 1C 00 00 68 00 1C 00 00 for 7168
- 68 00 20 00 00 68 00 20 00 00 for 8192
Replace 89 8C 24 E0 00 00 00 B9 00 01 00 00 with 89 8C 24 E0 00 00 00 B9 00 00 01 00.
Replace BB 9A 99 99 3F with BB 00 00 80 3E.
Replace C7 86 C8 07 00 00 9A 99 99 BE with C7 86 C8 07 00 00 9A 99 19 BE.

Notes

If using the Widescreen Fix, make sure to set OriginalExe = 0 in SplinterCellChaosTheory.WidescreenFix.ini.

Modifications

Enhanced SCCT Versus

An enhanced version of the game's Versus mode, which fixes certain bugs/exploits and re-balances the gameplay. It is a standalone patch that is incompatible with the vanilla version of Versus. Most players in the game's Versus community have migrated to this version.

Community Map Pack

An unofficial map pack that adds 41 new maps to the game.

Must install version that corresponds to version of the game (Steam and Retail, respectively)

AI Enhanced Menu, Story, and Training videos

Upscaled videos to 1080p by using Topaz Video AI.

All languages included in the North American release are supported (English, Spanish, French, German, Italian).
