I bought SWAT4 on the original Direct2Drive way back in the day but never actually got around to playing it. Today, seeing the game on GOG, I finally decided to try to install it and of course, the original activation servers are gone.

Is there any way GOG would ever be able to do some kind of "reclaim your game" thing for abandoned D2D games? I still have the CD key. The same thing happened to the D2D version of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, and I was only able to play my old copy after installing a fan patch that removed the DRM. I don't know if a similar patch exists for SWAT4.
same --'
Here too :/
Me too, but i lost the D2D installer of SWAT 4 Gold long time ago. D2D still let me view my cdkey at their website. So if GOG let me reclaim my game here (or not i still be happy to buy game again), it will be awesome.

I'm late most likely I didn't check the date but I found this I also own the game on D2D I found this on a Steam comment so I took a chance I downloaded and installed it and it works this has the expansion and even multiplayer but your going to have to trust me because it's an .exe and you will get a warning when trying to download it but I just installed it and it works. Here's the thread first link 2nd link is the google drive where you can download it from.https://steamcommunity.com/groups/Swat4Steam/discussions/0/152390648097675112/
