i installed SWAT 4 and everything went fine. i started a new game and everything was see through and all i could see was the sky. everything would go normal if i look towards the ground. but i cant play the game looking at the ground the whole time. an ideas on how to fix it?

First is to check that the min system spec for the game is lower than the hardware you have. You may have a compatibility issue with your graphics card - check to see if there is a games forum for this one.
