[Updated] How to downgrade SWAT4 from version 1.1 to 1.0 [Tutorial]

Thanks to |WM|Linux for updating the link, as the older link has expired.

This should be working with GOG's version of the game as long as you can join any version 1.1 multiplayer server.

As you know, the GOG version has the golden version which includes SWAT4 1.1 and TSS, but not the version 1.0, here are few steps to help you revert it and have all 3 versions - 1.1, TSS and 1.0.

The steps are pretty simple:

  1. Make a new empty folder called SWAT4 V1.0 or any name that you wish outside of the current SWAT folders (You don't have to, but I recommand to avoid trouble). - We're gonna call the new folder "SWAT4 V1.0" for now.

  2. Copy the 1.1 "Content" folder that you have to the new folder that you've opened at the 1st step, now you should have the original 1.1 and a folder named SWAT4 V1.0 with a direct copy of 1.1.

  3. Download the files from here (About 21.5MB) which will be used to downgrade from 1.1 to 1.0 - NOTICE that if you will use them alone they won't launch the game as many of the stuff are missing such as the Texture folder.

  4. Now what you should do is to take those downloaded files and overwrite the files that are now in SWAT4 V1.0.

  5. After you've done it you can now join servers from version 1.0 using the Swat4.exe from SWAT4 V1.0 Content/System folder. Plus you still have your older 1.1 copy with the TSS expansion, allowing you to have all 3 original versions of the game.
