Cinematics have low convergence anyway, so it's no big loss. I had planned on using the autoconvergence feature but there was no easy way to identify unique textures so I did not incorporate that.

Do we press "0 on numpad or regular keyboard? If it's numpad, is there a way to change the hotkey? I ask, because numpad0 is what I use for "enable 3Dvision" (instead of Ctrl-T)

Thank you very much for the fix, Mike. I held out for Splinter Cell, but Steams sales are almost upon us I think (hoping they start today), and I'll get a chance to try your fix. Thank you for getting some excitement in my miserable 3D game's life, from time to time :-)

So I messed up. Got excited about the FIX and Saw that the game was 40 bucks on steam but only 19 for the Deluxe Version on Amazon. Being cheap I went for that version. Then of course I realized that the Fix was only tested on the steam version. Is there anything I can do or any troubleshooting steps that would help me figure out why it doesn't work on the Uplay/Amazon version like it does on the steam one? if not I'll try to get a refund and pony up the extra 20 bucks for Steam.
