Widescreen Support

Method

Sadly, this game requires a .ini solution, as widescreen is not selectable from the in-game options.

To set to a widescreen resolution, change the following files

<Install Directory>\Content\System\Swat4.ini
<Install Directory>\ContentExpansion\System\Swat4X.ini (for the expansion)

Find the following lines and set them to your desired value:

FullscreenViewportX=xxx
FullscreenViewportY=xxx

They are in the "[WinDrv.WindowsClient]" section.

NOTE: Swat4.ini and Swat4X.ini will not exist if you have not run the game yet.

Screen change

The screen change is Vert-, despite trying to add the FOV lines to User.ini that would normally do the trick in UE2 games.
