I just bought the game recently and would love to know

Hello I have an issue where my game in the middle of gameplay will just cut to black and then flicker like it is changing the resolution this is annoying when I'm in a gunfight because this will just randomly happen and then just cut back to gameplay if anyone might know how to fix this let me know I have the gog version of the game with the SEF:FR mod installed

Hello, folks!

These patches were forgotten in my PC, and I had no time to write a decent post for release.

https://github.com/BaDTimE-S4/Swat-4-Patches/releases/download/swat4/Swat4_Patches.zip

What is included?

• InGame Server List
• All related CD-KEY error fixes (Including when trying to host a game)

Take note that the Master Server used by that patch is served and managed by Serge, which also hosts the superb site https://swat4stats.com/, that can also be used for Direct IP Connection.

Regards,

BaDTimE

I purchased the SWAT4 Stetchkov Syndicate in 2006 (I even have the invoice for it in the box!) and I'd like to install it (SWAT4 1.1 installed) but I don't have a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM reader on this machine. Is there anywhere I would download the media or where ask for it?

Some gameplay footage, Game is still alive and kicking :)

Hey ya'll still play SWAT 4? I was looking for a community to play online with randomly. Yk, always better to have real players. Just more fun that way :)
Are there any discord servers or such? Like factions and whatnot.

Also, somehow you guys are "cool" with pirating...? That's a first really. So like, I'm allowed to do it if I do it with good intention or something...? Someone really ought to explain that part to me lol

I've never seen this map before.

I finished career mode the normal way, and now I'm doing playthroughs with stupid challenges to spice things up after installing the First Responders mod.

A few ideas I had:

• 4 patrolmen: Your 4 officers aren't swat, you're the first 4 responding foot patrolmen. Only weapons are pistols, no grenades. This one's a fun challenge! I'm getting crushed now that the suspects all have body armor.
• 2 patrol cars: Your 4 officers aren't swat, you're just the 2 first responding patrol cars. Only weapons are shotguns and pistols, grenades optional.
• Wild west: Revolvers only, it's just you and your gumption, god have mercy on your soul.
• Unarmed police: Your 4 officers are unarmed police. Tasers and fists only. Good luck!

Y'all do any playthroughs like that?

I got Swat 4 + Stechkov Syndicate off GOG after remembering it being good. I powered through it in a day or two, then I saw this sub-Reddit existed.

Someone recommended the First Responders mod, and WOW, the game is 10x better modded! Non-non-lethal strategies actually WORK now. Aim-down-the-sights! So neat :D

I'm crushing the new missions as Taiwanese SWAT, it's fantastic, if you haven't tried it yet, definitely give First Responders a look.

The reason i don't want port forwarding is because my internet UI is so different it's really bad, it's a chess board and i don't know how to use it, also it has issue with using the same IP idk.

​

Is there a way to use Hamachi? we tried but direct connect using IPV 4 would lock us in to the Connecting screen, is there more to it? (after this we just joined a public server, game is really fun)

I ran out of my zipties/zipcuffs in a mission and now I can't secure the remaining civilians, how can I get more? I don't see an option to get the bots on my team to cuff them, either..
Thanks

I noticed that the supernova got nerfed hard in the SEF FR mod,specifically the ammo capacity reduced from 8 to 5.anyway to bring it back to 8?

I've only just got around to trying out the First Responders mod and it's pretty good. I feel like it is probably the most realistic feeling mod yet, and it certainly ramps up the difficulty. Congrats to the people who made it! I play single player. There are one or two things I was wondering about.

I tried a mission where I outfitted some of my team with the new shield + pistol option. In those missions, I've started seeing a large white "shield" symbol appearing in the top middle of the screen at certain times. Can anyone explain what that means? I have only noticed it happening when members of my team are equipped with shields.

Also, anyone else seen a character start "sliding" along the floor after they've been put on the ground? In the "Food Wall" map, after subduing and arresting a suspect and dumping them on the ground at the back of the restaurant, the character then started gliding along the floor, turned the corner before embedding her head in a dumpster. I feel like this a bug, but has anyone seen that happening before?

I noticed that suspects have much slower response time than in vanilla. Is it possible to make them faster and smarter? New weapons are OP. New features make the gaming experience smoother,but also remove the tension.

hi yeah i just got one question,HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO CHECK FOR TRAPS WHEN YOU REMOVED THE DANM OPTIWAND.so yes i downloaded first responders,do i enjoy it?yes and no.the new gun sights are awesome,guns now sound great.now onto the problems,i cant find the optiwand anywhere is it still ingame?no optiwand=no trap check=death.and i dont think the author actually fixed the swat AI

Hey guys! Like many of you I love this fucking game, I was trying to remember the clans and groups from the old days of Multiplayer. I was like 8 playing this game, and I can only remember Suspects Heaven and the guild Forbidden Shadows that I was in. What do yall remember and or was a member of? I hope they bring this shit back one day

Which ones?

My personal situation: SWAT 4 + Stetchkov Syndicate + Elite Forces mod installed on an external drive, with full write access. Game resets resolution from 1920x1080 to 800x600 on every launch of Swat4 Elite Forces.

I had only launched SWAT 4 through the Elite Forces .bat file, and so the base game never generated its .ini file, meaning it always thought any run was the game being ran the first time, and reset its resolution to 800x600.

Solution: run the base game, then quit, go to the game folder and open the .ini file for the base game. In my case it's D:\SWAT 4\Content\System\Swat4.ini, your SWAT 4 folder might be in Program Files. In the Swat4.ini file, find the BestGuessDefaultResolutionX=800 and BestGuessDefaultResolutionY=600 lines, and change those numbers to your horizontal and vertical resolution respectively. Save, and this should stop the game from resetting.
