[edit] Game Information

The Stetchkov Syndicate is an expansion pack that brings a host of new levels, weapons and enhancements to the highly rated SWAT 4.

Crime is on the rise. More guns and drugs are appearing on the streets and the city is in crisis. SWAT is called in to take on a series of disturbances that eventually lead them to the root of the problem, an eastern European crime family that has taken up residence in the city. A final showdown will place legendary SWAT tactics against the most dangerous and ruthless criminals yet, the Stetchkov syndicate.

[edit] Widescreen Support

SWAT 4: The Stetchkov Syndicate does not have native widescreen support. To force custom resolutions, navigate to \SWAT 4\ContentExpansion\System and open Swat4X.ini in a text editor such as Notepad.

Search for the following lines:

FullscreenViewportX=
FullscreenViewportY=

Modify these lines to suit your resolution. X is horizontal and Y is vertical.

The following example would force the game to run in the resolution of 1440x900.

FullscreenViewportX=1440
FullscreenViewportY=900

After changing the values, save the file and make it read only. This will prevent the game reverting back to a 4:3 resolution.

When launching and exiting the game you will get the error File Not Saved: Failed to write \SWAT 4\ContentExpansion\System\Swat4X.ini. This error is fine, just click OK to continue.

Some vertical view is lost when running in a widescreen resolution.
