Everyone's been experiencing this problem lately, they'll try to re-install the server again soon to hopefully fix this.

Hi all. I had a tought. I wanna try linux. My old pc wasn't able to update to windows 11. its a i7 6400 16gb ddr4 ram and a nvidia gtx970 .Still can play many software and games. Whit the windows 10 securityrisk i installed linux mint.

Now i got a question. Is it possible to run battlefield vietnam on linux?

Hey, it is possible to run the game on linux!. The most convenient way is through a WINE-frontend. I'm currently using Lutris but playonlinux has also worked for me in the past. So far i have only used the images provided on the forum. Feel free to reply if you encounter any problems.

Hi all. The game is still working in linux but the soundfix isn't be done. The thing is i can't find the files of the game anywhere in the linux filemanager. Whit windows its just program files ea games and battlefield vietnam. Whit linux isn't a programfiles or ea games to find . I search everywhere and can't find the files of the game. Its like you install and phoof all files are gone lol.

Hey, sorry i might have promised more than i can do wrt linux gaming... For the files: cd to your homedir and then go looking for any subdir 'drive_c' to find the bfv files. Regarding the soundfix i normaly don't bother to install it but i will look into it. If i remember correctly it just involves some additions/deletions to the registry.

For the sound fix you can try editing this registry entry

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers

Create an entry for the game with the following name

path to game\BfVietnam.exe

and set the value to

DWM8And16BitMitigation NT4SP5
