Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory - WORKS FINE! GMA 950
Kinn
was searching for a week about a solution to my damn Splinter Cell
game, that theorically runs on Intel chipset. They said that all you
have to do is to update your SC-CT to the latest. So I did, but the
problem with the Shaders continues to rip my head off.
What I coudn't understand is that the Splinter Cell Tool called
"detectionui_r.exe" tells me that my onboard GMA 950 supports
everything of the game, but after that fails even to launch.
But the light casted upon me and I found (what was there anyway) the
9xx SSF man!
After all this I want to thank you all very very much! You're not just
soldiers, but Heroes!
Splinter Cell: CT runs really fine on my config:
GMA 950 - 128MB
Intel Core 2 Duo e7500
2GB RAM
Modded Drivers for XP - latest
3D Analyzer - latest!
All I had to do is what MAD_BEAST said:
check
*EMULATE HW TnL Caps
*Force SW TnL
Thank you again Sirs!
I'll try to test other games too! Cheers!
MAD_BEAST
as i always said... your joy is the reason of our struggles :)
just to make sure are u using V1.2 for XP right?
well the good news is that we planned to make togheter a MD for XP...
which is going to be awesome probably the best... we can forget deadr
XP who gave us a lot :D
and remember to use GMA booster
and create Hardware profile for gaming... its one of the best thing u
could do for a xp based machine.
and thank you for being part of the revolution.
Kinn
I forgot to say that the modded driver increased the fps of Fable: TLC
and other games. A little but enough to get a more fine experience.
But I'll try with GMA Booster to shake the things up lol.
MD for XP, this can be awesome! Increasing the XP perfomance in
general you mean? I can't wait to test that!
Do you have any link to "how to" create a hardware profile? I know
there's a function in control panel, but never used! I'll look into
it.
You have my thanks too, all that engaged on modded drivers and the
like.
Dalmation
that xD
How about trying the triple addgame.reg in the download section? I'm
suppose it's the same with 3D analyzer
Ah, btw, if u can, maybe u should make a vid and upload to our channel
to show the world !
And the Game Booster..great soft indeed. When u turn it on and switch
to "Gaming Mode" (check Show all application), it'll remember the
processes and apps u chose. I guess that's what MAD_BEAST was talking
about
Kinn
be a shortcut! Thanks again!
I didn't think of make a vid, but I cand do, should I use FRAPS? I
heard that it slow a bit the fps, because of the recording... Thinking
now, I guess that there's a bat file to test the fps in Splinter Cell,
it's in the System folder, I'll check.
Yeah, I'll try the GMA Booster, I google it and words says that it set
a higher frequency but with no temperature changes... is that right?
If so, I`ll solid use it!
As I can only test all the suggestions at night (I`m from Brazil, so
its midday now), I`ll only have the test results posted tomorrow! But
hey, thanks anyway!
MAD_BEAST
triple addreg is only for NexGent MD (Alpha & Sigma).
ill explain whats the IDEA of a hardware profile and then google it.
A hardware profile, is selected from the boot, after it has been
created.
In a harware profile you choose what services will work while you use
a determnied profile.
for exmaple i had 3 hardware profiles
-REGULAR (everything as microfost set up) ~400-800MB used RAM
-ONLINE GAMING (just the system services needed to run the system and
internet connection) ~200MB used RAM
-OFFLINE GAMING (just the necesary services to run the system) ~100MB
used RAM
this is for using the services you need. look for balck viper tweak
guide in order to create the hardware profile for XP
HDW profiles are creating through advnaced system options (rght click
computer) somewhere there... i dont remember cause WIN7 has no HWD
profiles.
Kinn
I looked that addgame.reg post in the blog and figured out that's not
for me... now, but I got another HD and I'll install W7 on it! I'll
have both Windows XP and Seven, one HD each. Reason? Cuz my Processor
(e7500) don't support the "virtualization from hell" feature lol. The
e7600 does..... -_____________________-
Thanks for the intel! See ya!
MAD_BEAST
solution and you dont need a 2nd HHD for a 2nd OS... google DUAL
BOOT :D
both systems in the same HDD
Dalmation
XP xD

in overall has little space for 2 OS plus my files. So I have now
another HD, which I'll install Seven lol. I also know how to use the
Partition Magic and GParted softwares to manipulate partitions.
Well, I tested my system with GMABooster (400MHz setting) and it
crashed many games, I don't know why. Fable got a crash, Splinter Cell
wasn't able to run. So I uninstalled GMABooster, uninstalled all the
chipset drivers, and reinstalled (original + modded). Now my Splinter
Cell CT run, but with the resolution of 320-ish. I modified the values
(800x600 both fullscreen and viewport) in the "SplinterCell3.ini",
checked it to be read-only, but during the game running, it set's the
resolution back to 320, bypassin the "read-only" status. This is
annoying, anybody knows how to fix this?
Thank you all in advance!
PS.: I'm using 3DAnalyzer. And Splinter Cell is in the latest version.
MAD_BEAST
registers to hdd defragmentation.
about the resoltion do it manually from the config file in the rootof
the game.
i used to play it with no problems 80% of FX on max and highest res...
oh now i see u alredy chnaged it from the cf file... i have no idea
then. :(

950GMA no matter what MD you have, won't support SwTnL

Espionage724 Has A Signature...
MAD_BEAST
it does! beleive me ive never played Splinter cell Chaos theory in
WIN7
is Splinter Cell Pandora tomorrow the one that dosent work under XP
with a 945
Kinn
SOLUTION to the Chaos Theory! I left the GMABooster uninstalled (I'll
test after) and I set the parameters in the command line of the
"splintecell3.exe" -h 800 -w 600 and fixed the damn problem with the
resolution lol! Now I can open 3DAnalyzer as usual, set to force
sotfware TnL and emulate hardware TnL. And works again! ^^
I'd like to say thank you all for the intel and help! ^^
I'll test the other games, will be a little tough because the shader
2.0 that theorically 945 has.
MAD_BEAST
ho ho hold on bro... saying Intel in this place is ofenssive XD JK but
we hate that word... specially i do
remember if u need something we are brothers

Clancy's stuff XDD Sooooorry guys! I don't mention the another one!
O.O
Well, I was wrong, the command line is applied only on the shortcut,
but since 3D Analyzer only run EXE or BAT, it doesn't run a LNK
(shortcut file extension). I have to activate and wait the right
resolution over and over again until it works, then I can play the
game lol!
Sorry again guys! Cheers!
MAD_BEAST
after you applied the 3DA settings i gave u... the games worked fine,
right?
ans suddenly aproblem appeared...
what happened that generated that resolution problem?
Kinn
fullscreen to 320x240, even I check "read-only" status to the ini.
Making a lot of mess mainly with the texts.
The game works, yes. But after sometime I have to set a higher
resolution over and over again until it works or I lose my head...
I'll try another crack if I find anything! Thanks!
Espionage724
going at 1fps :p
