Widescreen Gaming Forum

I just bought Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory off of steam and have a issue. Whenever I start the game I get a "Invalid format" error...basically its not working on a widescreen resolution (but the demo worked fine?). Every time I try to edit SplinterCell3.ini or SplinterCell3User.ini in C:ProgramData or C:UsersAll Users it just resets the resolution when I start up.

EDIT: I use a Windows 7 64-bit and 1280 by 680 resolution.

1280x680 ? Typo or HDTV ? :P
Maybe you fiddled with the wrong files... Try reinstalling then only edit the files that are in C:ProgramDataUbisoftTom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory

I seem to have found the solution. I just go back to C:ProgramDataUbisoftTom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory and edit the .ini files then check off read-only in properties. Read-only protects the files from being switched back to its default on launch.

HDTV...yea its a weird resolution I know. I had problems with my 1280x720 res after I installed a update for Windows 7. So I set a custom resolution in Nvidia control panel.
