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.

This version is based on the Xbox version, with additional PC-specific enhancements such as HDR Rendering. However the game didn't support Shader Model 2.0 initially, though eventually added in patch version 1.04.[1]

The official online multiplayer service is no longer available.[2]

Essential improvements

Patches

Patch 1.04, released in 2005 added Shader Model 2.0 support. Latest version is 1.05, which can be download here. All previous patches are available from Ubisoft here (if you get a "403 Forbidden" message, simply try again).
The Steam and Uplay version are already patched.

Additional glitches in certain retail version

Some retail version of the game contains glitches that may remain unfixed after applying the official patches (i.e. the zipline at the Penthouse). A patch can be applied to fix these issues here. Official patch 1.05 is required, Steam version is already patched.

Enhanced SCCT Versus

Enhanced version of SCCT Versus created by Joshhhuaaa to patch certain bugs/exploits and balance the gameplay/maps. It is a standalone download that is incompatible with players using the original vanilla Versus. Most players in the Versus community have migrated this version.

Community Map Pack

The unofficial map pack adds 41 new maps to the game. MR.MIC's Map Pack is also included, bringing the total map count to 56. Some of the maps included in MR.MIC's Map Pack are from Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow's versus mode.

Widescreen resolution

See also Shadows become more broken the wider the screen resolution.
Use Splinter Cell Chaos Theory Widescreen Fix[8]
  1. Download widescreen fix and extract it.
  2. Move its files to <path-to-game>.
  3. To enable windowed mode, open d3d9.ini and set ForceWindowedMode to 1.
  4. Go to the scripts folder and open SplinterCellChaosTheory.WidescreenFix.ini.
  5. Change value of ResX = 0 to desired horizontal resolution.
  6. Change value of ResY = 0 to desired vertical resolution.
  7. (OPTIONAL) If you're using different language than Engilsh, then change value of GameLanguage = 0 to value matching your language (those are listed above in the SplinterCellChaosTheory.WidescreenFix.ini file).

Notes:

Automatically adjusts resolution and FOV, fixes HUD position and stretching.
Works with downsampling or Nvidia DSR - manually change the resolution in the supplied configuration file.
Widescreen fix contains an additional fix for Alt+Tabbing, which helps with restoring game's window after it's minimized.
Allows for changing shadow map size in the ini file.
Unlocks framerate and adds a configurable framerate cap.
Adds optional Blacklist-style visibility indicators.
Widescreen - Singleplayer[citation needed]
You must have run the game at least once before these files appear.
Further graphic settings adjustment will revert resolution back to 4:3.
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open SplinterCell3.ini.
  3. Adjust the following fields:
FullscreenViewportX= (line 98)
FullscreenViewportY= (line 99)
Widescreen - Versus[9]
  1. Open %PROGRAMDATA%\Ubisoft\Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory\Saved Games\Versus\<user-id>_prf.ini.
  2. Look for ScreenRes= entry and give it -1 value.
  3. Save the file.
  4. Open <path-to-game>\Versus\System\Default.ini.
  5. Scroll down to the [WinDrv.WindowsClient] class.
  6. Adjust the following fields:
FullscreenViewportX=
FullscreenViewportY=
When changing the resolution values to a resolution different than one of the preset resolutions, Versus will only run 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 your 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.
Use injectSMAA
Shares the same d3d9.dll files with widescreen fix, additionally this causes thermal vision to show blue temperature colours with no yellows, oranges or reds.

Field of view (FOV)

Edit SplinterCell3User.ini[5]
  1. Go to the configuration files location.
  2. Open SplinterCell3User.ini.
  3. Adjust the following values (91.3154482287 is advised for 16:9 displays, and 85.281271852 for 16:10 ones):
    DesiredFOV=75.0
    DefaultFOV=75.0
  4. Save the changes.

Notes:

Apply this fix before creating a profile. If your profile was created before the fix, you'll need to zoom in/out with your weapon every time you load a previous made save in order for the custom FOV to be used.
Do not edit your 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

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.

Issues fixed

Game crashes when trying to start new mission / change settings

Disable any software that hooks into graphic's API (most notably OBS and Dxtory)[8]
To capture the game with OBS, force Windowed mode and capture the game using Window Capture instead of Game Capture.

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 mercenarie's flashlights don't work, severely impairing gameplay. Follow one of the solutions below to fix these issues.
Hack compatible pixel shaders[12]
  1. Download and install 3D-Analyze.
  2. Launch 3D-Analyze.
  3. In 3D-Analyze, click the SELECT button and choose <path-to-game>\Versus\System\SCCT_Versus.exe
  4. Checkmark the Gun Metal Demo fix boxes.
  5. Press the Save batch file! at the bottom of the 3D-Analyze window.
  6. Close 3D-Analyze.
You will need to launch the game using the batch file generated by the program every time.
Use dgVoodoo 2[5]
  1. Download the latest version of dgVoodoo 2 and extract it (verified working on version 2.55.4).
  2. Copy all the files from the MS folder and paste the files to <path-to-game>\Versus\System.
Even better looking shadows than 3D-Analyze.
The Unreal Level Editor included with the game will not function properly.

Versus 30 FPS Lock

A fan made program can be used to unlock the framerate in Versus.
Netcode only supports a maximum of 30 frames per second for proper sync between players in Versus. Bypassing this limit results in things such as co-op actions not executing properly occasionally.
The host is strongly recommended to play at 30 frames per second or clients can experience more severe problems. Alternatively, you can use a dedicated server hosting at 30 frames per second.

Slow motion gameplay on multi-core CPUs in Versus mode

Use alternate timer[13]
  1. Open <path-to-game>\Versus\System\Default.ini
  2. Set UseAlternateTimer=false to UseAlternateTimer=true.
  3. Save the file.

Night vision/thermal vision/EMF not displaying correctly

If everything turns white when you activate your night vision and/or turns black when you activate your thermal vision/EMF, follow one of the instructions below.
Enable Windows Compatibility Mode
  1. Enable Windows XP (Service Pack 3) Compatibility Mode.
Use Alt+Tab
  1. First minimize and then restore the game back by using Alt+Tab.[14]
Use different shader model
  1. Select another shader model by using the in-game display settings menu.[14][15]
Disable High dynamic range (HDR)
  1. Disable High dynamic range (HDR) rendering in shader options when using shader model 3. Disabling it also allows antialiasing

Shadows become more broken the wider the screen resolution

Use Widescreen Fix[16]
  1. Download the widescreen fix and extract its files to <path-to-game>\System.
  2. Go to the scripts folder and open SplinterCellChaosTheory.WidescreenFix.ini.
  3. Change 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 shadow map size changing.
Override does not work on exes modified via the alternative hexedit method.
Hexedit to increase shadow map size[17]
  1. Open SPLINTERCELL3.EXE with a hex editor such as HxD.
  2. 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)

3. 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, BB 9A 99 99 3F with BB 00 00 80 3E and C7 86 C8 07 00 00 9A 99 99 BE with C7 86 C8 07 00 00 9A 99 19 BE.

Notes:

Changing the first line of bytes determines the shadow map size as specified below, After editing in the shadow map size of your choice, replace the rest of bytes to apply the fix.
If using the Widescreen Fix be sure to set OriginalExe = 0 in SplinterCellChaosTheory.WidescreenFix.ini.
