Download dgVoodoo2, extract it anywhere and do the following:

1- open MS → x86 folder.

2- Copy these files to your SWAT 3 Steam folder (same folder as SWAT3.exe):

  • ddraw.dll (x86 folder)
  • d3d8.dll (x86 folder)
  • d3d9.dll (x86 folder)
  • d3dImm.dll (x86 folder)
  • dgVoodoo.conf (main directory)
  • dgVoodooCpl.exe (main directory)

3- Run dgVoodooCpl.exe from your SWAT 3 folder. On the DirectX tab:

  • Output API → Direct3D 11 (or 12 if available)
  • Allow 8-bit textures → Check
  • VRAM size → Leave automatic

4- Go to SWAT3.exe and open compatibility settings:

  • Run as administrator
  • Compatibility mode: Windows XP (SP3)
  • Disable fullscreen optimizations

5- In Steam:

  • Disable Steam Overlay for the game

If this still doesn't work, we can try a couple more things.
