Does not work.

Get a tiny menue screen I can't really click on.

I made this game work somehow ages ago.

I tried the cfg file change for resolution as well as the -nointro fix for launch option.

Does not work.

So what is the fix here ?

You get to the game's main menu but you can't click on anything?

Just for our knowledge what OS are you using? ie Windows 11?

The main menue pops up, but I can't click anything. It like sits on the edge of my screen somewhere.

I operate windows 10.

Thanks for your reply. I should have also asked you what type of video card do you use.

Do you also use dgVoodoo2 to help fix many problems with running old games on modern versions of Windows? Sadly Microsoft is causing most of the problems we have playing older games from the 16-bit colour era.

I am not 100% how knowing my specs will help you to provide advise on resolution fixes.

Its obvious that all the newer Win versions cause issues, I mean the game is from the 90s.

I do not use voodoo, I just need a simple resolution fix, there have been some that work. As said in my post.

Yes, but it would be great to help others in the future. Getting proper information from people is the hardest part about figuring out permanent fixes. I would say 99% of the people don't have this problem and it makes it hard to research a fix.

Enjoy your simple fix.

I have Swat 3 installed on 5 different current machines and not a single one has encountered this problem. My evidence is anecdotal but so is yours.

Hard to believe that SWAT 3 runs on a win 10 or win 11 rig without having made numerous adjustments.

So far you were completely useless and of no help at all. My topic is very easy to read, so is what I am asking for.

Go waste someone elses time ya muppet.

Show some manners kid, you're talking with the creator of The Last Resort mod for Swat 3 and one of the nicest and kindest person I have the pleasure to talk to.
If it wasn't for him, there would be no swat 3 in 2024 and our small community would be long dead.

BTW, I'm playing swat 3 on windows 10 and my friend play it on windows 11 and we only use the last resort mod and voodoo so yeah, you're problem is skill issue.

Lol, you are too generous. To be fair Swat 3 can run fine without the Last Resort mod. You just need dgVoodoo2 to get Windows to play nice with it. Last Resort just helps give higher resolutions and makes dealing with .cfg and .ini files easier.

I try to help out in the Swat 3 forums to keep this community alive plus I like to learn more about the strange problems that people have getting the game running. In a perfect world we will have answers for everyone's problems.

I have been following this forum since quite a while now and I gotta say, get off your high horse there buddy. OP basically just asked a question and recieved the usualy copy and paste response by this slippery guy.
Now that being said, I don't see how being a mod dev, gives you any special position.

This is not the first time I have seen you two acting toxic on here and calling others a kid while mentioning manners, isn't particularly wise either.

lol, okay. You are completely right! How dare we try to help troubleshoot a problem with the game. Totally toxic!

All I did was ask for more information about the problem and their system. Cool story though, bro.

Come off your high horse there buddy.
Your passive-aggressive behaviour, assuming the issue and expressing a passive-aggressive claim wrapped as a question is obvious. Not the first time on here you act out.
