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

Yesterday i played for a few hours And all was well. Its good to now its probeply not the fould of my hardware because just got a new pc.

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.

 

[-[HELLO]-M.I.Bbe]

Hi got the game running. Thank you for your tip i used "wine" . Just the commandsound isn't working but whit windows 11 was the same. Tommorow try to fix that. I'm feeling good that i get this running.

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.

 

[PhaI]

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

NT4SP5

Thank you for the answer . But i think thats a soundfix for windows not? I am try to get the soundfix on linux.

Since Wine is a compatibility layer that lets you run Windows programs, it also features a registry which very much resembles the one you find on Windows. You may have to check on some tutorials on how to edit the registry on Wine, which can be done both within a graphical interface and via the terminal, but it is in fact the same steps as on any Windows.

 

[Bartman]

Good news: found the old .bat-version of the soundfix. In addition to what Phal said it touches
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers.
So from your wine-prefix-dir using bash you'd end up with something resembling:

► wine reg add 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers' /v "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Battlefield Vietnam\\bfvietnam.exe" /t REG_SZ /d "NT4SP5" /f ► wine reg add 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers' /v "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Battlefield Vietnam\\bfvietnam.exe" /t REG_SZ /d "NT4SP5" /f

Bad news: currently not fixing the audio for me. I'll keep looking into this.

Some Wine versions only support this compatibility mode (NT) with a 32 bit prefix. Anything older than XP may not always work with a 64 bit prefix.

Thank you all for reacting here btw. Bartman you are also testing bfvietnam on linux?

The game itself is 32bit itself but is working on my last version of linux mint and that is 64bit if i'm right . I installed it whit wine. Its just the sound that isn't fully working. Its the soundcommand like "requesting a pickup"v and "thank you" that isn't working. There is already a fix for in windows (see this topic more in the begin) but you need to put that whit the bfvietnam files. But i cant find them.

Yes! I'll focus on mint now. Also Phal pointed out a very important point wrt to the prefix imho. As for your files idk. Have you tried locating them via terminal instead of using the explorer/nemo ?
