How do you get Splinter Cell Chaos Theory running on Vista x64
How do you get Splinter Cell Chaos Theory running on Vista x64
I answered it myself in the end, but figured I should post it anyway in case there was someone else out there with the same problem...
Basically, I own the copy of Chaos Theory, but never managed to get it to work since I've only ever had x64 versions of windows since I bought the game. The reason for this, was that Starforce (the protection system) didn't support x64 at the time, and therefore the game won't run now, eventhough they support x64 now.
However, if you go to: http://www.gameburnworld.com/gp/gamefixes/splintercell3chaostheory.shtml , you'll find two files, one entitled:
SPLINTER CELL 3: CHAOS THEORY v1.05 [EURO/AUSTRALIAN] NO-DVD/FIXED EXE (17.2MB)
And the other:
SPLINTER CELL 3: CHAOS THEORY v1.05 [EURO/AUSTRALIAN] OS FIX/NO-DVD/FIXED EXE (10.7MB) *Use in combination with the above No-DVD patch (17.2MB).
So all you have to do, is extract the 17.2MB file into the respective directories, and then do the same with the 10.7MB file. That seems fixes the x64 problem.
