Graphical Tweaks

Widescreen Support

Unofficially supported by performing a custom .ini tweak.[1]

1. Open this file (default installation on Windows 7): 

C:\Program Files (x86)\SWAT 4\Content\System\Swat4.ini

2. Add your preferred resolution to these lines after the = sign: 

WindowedViewportX=
WindowedViewportY=
FullscreenViewportX=
FullscreenViewportY=

Example: 

WindowedViewportX=1920
WindowedViewportY=1200
FullscreenViewportX=1920
FullscreenViewportY=1200

3. Don't forget to save the file. Note: This may hide some text on certain minor interface elements of the Main Menu. The in-game interface is not affected.

4. Sometimes the game will automatically overwrite your settings. If this happens re-edit the file and save.

  • Then right-click the ini file.
  • Properties
  • Go to the "Security" Tab
  • Select the current user
  • Click Edit
  • Check the "Deny Write" and "Deny Modify" box, make sure "Deny All" and "Deny Read" is not checked.
  • Do the same for the Administrator User
  • Save and close the file

You will now recieve an error message saying the game can't edit the file upon starting the game, but it will run fine. You cannot change any game settings held in this ini file unless you go back and remove the Deny rules.

Save Game Data

Folder Location

Stored campaign progress is located in this file:

  • Windows 7 (default installation): 
    C:\Program Files (x86)\SWAT 4\Content\System\Campaign.ini

Improvements

Skip Introductions, Cutscenes and Videos

Delete or rename the files "Nvidia.bik", "SierraLogo.bik", and "swat4.bik" within this folder (default installation on Windows 7): 

C:\Program Files (x86)\SWAT 4\Content\Movies\

The intro will still display a few splash images. These are easily skipped by pressing the ESC key.
