I'm @ work so I'll try to explain as best as possible...
A friend showed me this trick... Why he hasnt posted it here... I dont know but He should've... It would only increase competitive play and possible bring some old school players back.

This worked for me and I have Windows Vista, an Nvidia 8600

Download
3d Analyzer 2.36
Here:
http://download-free.programas-gratis.net/php/software....load-3D-Analyze-2.36

go to the splinter cell chaos theory -->Versus-->System Folder

Change the name of
SCCT_Versus.exe --> SCCT_Versus.bak

Change the name of
SCCT_Versus.ex --> SCCT_Versus.exe

Load the new SCCT_Versus.exe file into the 3d analyzer program.

Check off all the boxes I marked in Red

Click Save Batch File (Located on the Bottom of 3d Analyzer)
Name it whatever you want, save it in the Versus/System Folder

Click "Run"

and your Flashlight and ambient lighting will be better...

I'll be honest... I'm seeing shadows I never remember seeing with my ATI Radeon 9500... Like in Club House as a spy I always heard about shadows by the computer but never seen them like this...

Thank You to the guy who showed this to me... If I missed anything I apologize, I will try to correct it when I get home. Or the guy that told me may post it here...

I formatted my drive because my PC was giving me an incredible amount of problems. I want to reinstall the game but cant find the CD. I may look for it tonight and reinstall the game. I hope to play tonight with my flashlight. Beware, I'm a better mrec now that I know how to play with and without my light
This may work with ATI cards... I'm not sure... but give it a shot and confirm it here... spread the news I dont care for credit, I just think everyone should know so we have more competitive players come back... not these noobs that I'm forced to play with and against... also I'm tired of 7 player nights

Hey Digi!
Didnt even knew you were here at the forums!

Btw. this fix worked for my mate Erimit and he got Vista and an ATI.
But the funny thing about it was, that he got problems with his mouse when using this fix.
No idea why?!?

I wouldnt know, I didnt make it...
I come to the forums every so often, just to peek, see if I can answer anything for people.

I'll try to get on tonight after I take my kids out

Update:
Now it all works fine for him!
Dunno what he did, but it is perfect now.

Maybe we will be online tonight, too.

i have posted this fix already in the other thread

for all those who use xfire, and who also have the problem of the light from the flashlight,
once solved this problem, they will realize that xfire does not work while playing a SCCT.
Below'm going to try and explain how you can make it work both (I have to say that if this
works is thanks to my friend predalien23).
The first step is to copy the original files scct_versus.ex and scct_versus.exe and paste
them into another new directory (on the desktop for example),
then they apply the patch as they say in the post these files copied to the desktop,
once it creates the batch file, right click to open and edit, at the end of the line of text,
it must change .exe for .ex ,the changes are saved. Finally must restore the original files
(unchanged) to the directory versus, in this way the patch is applied or batch file to the
original and detects xfire.
both my friend and I have Windows Vista, and a graphic GForce 8xxx, and both see the light
of the lantern and we can chat with xfire in game.
Only have to run the batch to be able to do both, if you start from SCCT xfire does not work,
I hope that helps.
Again to thank my friend predalien23 and forgiveness for any errors, my English is very bad and
I used the translator of google.

the link i posted on the other topic explains how to fix that, seriously some ppl need to read before writing

I ask forgiveness, my intention was not bad, just intended to help, we should not take it the wrong way

of course not, its good that there are ppl willing to help, i wasnt bashing you i just said ppl should read more before posting because that info was already posted somewhere else on the forums

thank you so much, this helped me out alot.

Currently I'm running an ATI 4870 Quad Core processor and some other high end stuff.

It works on Vista 32bit! Make sure to enable compability mode for windows xp and administrator mode by right clicking 3D Analyzer. This is what I didn't do before. It works now though thanks so much!

It doesnt' work for me :/

There's an error: 'Error while injecting dll into target process'

I checked all the instructions, what can be wrong?

well noob the problem could be is , if ur using vista / windows 7 you have make sure you put it in compatiblity mode by right clicking 3d analyze
and then properties, then make sure run as admin is checked off , click apply and Ok...

then right click 3d analyze , apply ur settings, save batch file ,and away you go Foo , then next time you start ur game.. right click 3d analyze... run as admin.. select ur executable and ur batch file will remember ur settings. .

I've got Windows XP...

then download 2.34 and then put ur settings in and then save the batch file run it and done.

It works finally!!!
Thanks!

It works, but do I have to run the .bat file every time I want to play the game properly? I use Steam to launch all of my games, and Steam only detects .exe files to make its shortcuts, so when I launch SCCT Versus through Steam the fix won't work. However, if I go to the System folder and launch through the .bat file, it works fine.

Also, is this problem only isolated to Vista and GeForce 8xxx cards, or does it apply to all new cards? Because if I buy a brand new card in the future, I want to know if I'll run into this problem again.

Could somebody please help me out. I have a Nvidia Geforce 8800 GT and I haven´t played SCCT since I got the flashlight problem.

I tried to do as the instructions. Here is what I did.

1. Downloaded the program.
2. Changed the exe files.
3. Load the new SCCT_Versus.exe file into the 3d analyzer program.

But there was no checks in the red squares like in the picture.

Any ideas? If I check anything it looks like this:



Any help would been appreciated.

EDIT: Don´t know why the picture won´t show up.
