One minor thing, in 1920x1080 mode I do not see UI like damage gauge or conversation.

 

Can you explain that better please? Not sure what you mean.

Actually I can see blue 1 - 8 orders at the top left but I can not see the right bar graph (from orange to red when player takes damages).
And I can't see at the bottom left the text write (when any character in game speaks).
In lower resolution it works.

The damage bar never appears until you take a bit of damage. The Last Resort mod doesn't change anything related to that.

As for text on the bottom left the blue TOC conversations can always be seen I do believe as well as custom chat grey text (press 9 on the menu for custom chats).

I see the blue text at the start of the mission when TOC speaks over the radio in 1920x1080. Having said that sometimes it doesn't show up but that I think is just a quirk of the game being busy sometimes.   The first line doesn't always show up but if you play further you see the text from TOC later on in missions.

As for orange dialog text that can be turned off and on depending on your key assignments. A friendly reminder that once you do toggle that dialog text back on you don't see old text lines.  It will only show new dialog on the screen.  Try throwing down a CS gas in front of a civilian and you should see the orange text saying things like "cough, cough, cough".   Mission A with Martin Brenner is a good map to test it out on.


I am curious do you have 2 monitors connected to your computer or just 1?

Sorry I meant I never see the damage bar even if I take damage. (Same for bottom right orange/red steady/dynamic guy, it's not displayed in 1080). And I didn't toggle TOC conversations.
If I use 1600x900 every thing appears. No I have only one monitor (it's a laptop).

Do you have any idea about the DDERR_GENERIC error still on movies play?

I would love to continue to troubleshoot your machine (if you are interested) because it isn't often I get so many unique problems with the mod. Usually people disappear after a few posts and I never get a chance to learn and solve these unique problems.

The Last Resort mod doesn't change those two items to cause this problem. If you toggle the mod off (top right toggle button on the launcher) you will still be able to choose 1920x1080 in 3D with "vanilla" Swat 3.  If you still get the problem after this it is proof the problem isn't the mod itself.
I have some followup questions to learn more about your laptop:

1) Do you have a dedicated video card in the laptop or is it an onboard video chip? Is it Nvidia or AMD?
2) Do you have dgVoodoo installed?
3) What is the native resolution of your laptop screen?

Not yet. It sounds like your replacement XVID movies used to work but now they don't when you installed the new version of the mod. Is this correct? Or did your movies never work on Windows 10 for you?

 Just to be clear the key I am talking about only toggles on/off the orange dialog from characters. I think the TOC blue text is always there and can't be toggled on/off.

Sure I'm in!
My native resolution is 1920 x 1080 60Hz. I have an integrated card, an Intel UHD Graphics 620 (i5-8365U). Windows and every drivers are up to date.

I tried with vanilla swat 3 in 1920 x 1080 and it's the same.
One thing that may be I didn't noticed before: in 1920 x 1080 the reticle is not centered on the screen.. Likely the bottom and right part of the screen is overflowing somewhere. (last resort ON or OFF).
It's not a big deal as it works fine in 1600x900. May be a aspect ratio issue?

No it never worked on win10 (was Ok on my previous win7 laptop). I also tried to manually copy provided movies files into Swat directory.

Then to be sure to have a clean install I restarted all from scratch (swat 3, 2.1 patch, last mod version). I selected movies replacement in new MOD version.
It's odd because I can play files with the native windows player.

I tried dgVoodoo with the v0.7.4 but not sure the setup was correct. I will retry with the video you provided and let you know.

Yes sure.

You are giving me some good detailed info.

Onboard video chips on laptops are a bit of a challenge sometimes with legacy gaming (AMD chips even more so).

If the Last Resort mod is toggled OFF and the game is still misbehaving (such as an offset reticle) that is a problem more with the game itself and/or your computer.

That is very odd that your laptop would have the reticle offset for 1920x1080 but not 1600x900. Both are 16:9 aspect ratio.

Ah okay. Microsoft has declared the Indeo Video codec to be a security issue so generally on Windows 10 systems it appears to be de-activated. Swat 3's movies were encoded with this 30 year old codec.

Question for you: have you installed a third party codec pack at any point on your Windows 10 system?




Below is a link for instructions how to install DgVoodoo and gives the settings that work for me:
