this error message:
"ReadFile failed: Count=0 BufferCount=-36924462 Error=Invalid access to memory location. "
is a php error in same cases lol but not here...
i guess this is the known microsoft windows error message when a 32bit windows system tries to logon to a 64bit windows server and the application calls the LsaLogonUser. I dont know how the logon precedure is set for Swat, but for this there is a official windows patch.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/833620/en-us
but I would suggest that you reinstall swat first, before using the hotfix. Save your user.ini file and your maps first, then deinstall and reinstall swat. If the problem still occurs -> try the hotfix

-Timbo out

"ReadFile failed: Count=0 BufferCount=-36924462 Error=Invalid access to memory location. "

To me this sounds like the game is probably trying to dereference a null or wild pointer, that is assumed to be valid.

(Programmer Error, not Program Error)

The history thing is what passes for a backtrace when the game crashes. It seems to die while trying to start the game, it's referencing a map load so I have to ask:

Have you (or anyone else) been playing around in SwatEd (the map maker) and what are the contents of \Sierra\SWAT4\Content\Maps and \Sierra\SWAT4\ContentExpansion\Maps.

I recall getting map load related crashes on game startup if I ever use the editor to test play a map Beee

Reinstalling the games would likely fix it either way.

I tried to add a map last night to content expansio/maps but once it dowloaded it did not work so I deleted it out of the maps folder.
