Hi everyone.
My ingame nick is infiltrator and i've been playing with you guys for a few months up until the swat4 server list went blank. I then didn't bother to set up all the mods and programs to connect back again, but I do want to play again now. I searched the forum stickies and I didn't notice any info on this matter. I would be grateful if anyone gave me a few guidelines. What programs to download, what mods to install ( how and where do i get them ), which patches etc. Basically how to set it up from a vanilla install.
Regards, infiltrator

Look at the right side for Swat4 TSS
Download Markmod, I recommend you install it for SWAT4 TSS and SWAT4 depending on the patch you have.
If you want you can download SAS mod servers too. Good luck
I got everything running, thanks again. I do have a problem though. When i'm in the game, playing it, and i click escape and go to settings, the game crashes.
Did anyone have a similar problem or know of a solution?
You should describe the crash, if an error appears, you should tell us what it says.
Does it only happen when you're in a round, or does it happen on the main menu too? Something might be corrupted or missing, but I doubt it if settings run on the main menu and not in-game round.
If you recently installed and have nothing to loose I suggest you do a clean reinstall. :/
Here's the error log. It only happens when i'm ingame, playing a round.

I don't know this issue, but I hope someone has the fix to it.
Otherwise, I'd suggest a clean reinstall and try to install patch 1.1 for SWAT4 before installing TSS. It looks like a corrupted file of some sort, or damaged. If renstall isn't an option then you'll have to wait for a fix if there's one.
On another note, if your main menu settings work then I don't see it such a problem. I've never used settings during a game unless I wanted to change my name. Try to get everything straight before you enter a game so you don't have to do it during it.
Yup I will try a reinstall.
I did install 1.1 patch before TSS though.
The server wasn't populated yesterday. Did I happen to come back to playing when everyone is on vacation, or did the server lose much of its players?
The server has people on random intervals, but you'll find it's best to play on other servers too. And yeah, alote of regulars don't play anymore. :/
