System requirements
Disabling Intros
In order to have the game automaticaly skip every intro we'll have to create a shortcut of the Swat4.exe or Swat4X.exe. Right click on the shortcut, go to Properties and at the end of the first line in the target field add -nointro. It should look like this.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Sierra\SWAT 4\Content\System\Swat4.exe" -nointro
Graphical Tweaks
Widescreen Support
The only way to get widescreen resolutions is by tweaking certain .ini files.[1] This won't work if the game isn't run as an admin.
- Find the Swat4.ini or the Swar4X.ini usualy located in these directories.
C:\Program Files\SWAT 4\Content\System\Swat4.ini - For the base game C:\Program Files\SWAT 4\ContentExpansion\System\Swat4X.ini - For the expansion
- If the Swat4.ini and the Swar4X.ini are missing run the game, change anything in the options menu, save and close the game.
- Find these lines.
WindowedViewportX= WindowedViewportY= FullscreenViewportX= FullscreenViewportY= MenuViewportX= MenuViewportY=
- Enter the desired values like this.
WindowedViewportX=1280 WindowedViewportY=720 FullscreenViewportX=2048 FullscreenViewportY=1152 MenuViewportX=2048 MenuViewportY=1152
- Now save the file to the desktop, right click on it, click on Properties and have the Read Only box checked. Now drag your modified .ini file to the respective folder and overwrite.
When starting the game you should get an error, click "OK" and now the game will run on your desired resolution. If you wish to change any settings just uncheck the Read Only box.
Windowed Mode
- As before, find the Swat4.ini or the Swar4X.ini and open them.
C:\Program Files\SWAT 4\Content\System\Swat4.ini - For the base game C:\Program Files\SWAT 4\ContentExpansion\System\Swat4X.ini - For the expansion
- Find this line and add a ; in front of it, it should look like this.
;Suppress=WindowedMode
- Pushing CTRL + F will bring up a box from where you can easily search any specific lines at any time.
The windowed mode resolution is defined by the WindowedViewport parameter you have set.
WindowedViewportX=1280 WindowedViewportY=720
Now users can switch between fullscreen and windowed mode by pushing ALT + ENTER at any time.
- Don't forget to run the game as an admin, or else this may fail to work.
Save Game Data
Folder Location
Stored campaign progress can be found here.
