Hi guys
After upgrading from windows 7 to windows 10, bfv still works fine with no-cd crack.
But on windows 7 I started the game in "NT 4.0" compatibility mode to get ingame music and radio chats.
However under windows 10 this option was removed. There's only an option for windows xp sp2 that has no effects on the sound (windows 98/Me does break PB). Does anybody who has windows 10 found a workaround?
PS: Here is the workaround for Windows 7
Code:
1- If you run the Battlefield Vietnam exe file in "Windows 98/Windows Me" compatibility mode, the sound problems will be fixed but you will get kicked from PunkBuster servers with the message "Service Abnormality". Thus you can use this to play single player and non-PunkBuster online servers. If you are using Creative Alchemy software, this won't work.

2- Run the exe file in "Windows NT 4.0" compatibility mode. It will fix the sound issue and you will be able to play on all servers but you are going to need a no-cd patch because the game won't recognize your cd on that mode.

Ok guys I found a "temporary" fix that works so far.
Go to settings if you right click on BFV shortcut and navigate to compatibility. Set there
Run program in compatibility mode for Windows 98 / ME
Then make a check at Disable display scaling on high DPI settings and Run this program as Administrator

I tested it on single and multiplayer and audible radio commands works.

Known issues:
Game can crash sometimes by connecting to server or by loading a new map
Game crashes on servers with PunkBuster enabled.

UPDATE:
By using BfVietnam-fixed.exe (Masterserver fix from Jesuspunk) and
compatibility mode for Windows95
Disable display scaling on high DPI settings and
Run this program as Administrator

The game runs fine in Multiplayer and Singelplayer without crash and with ingame music and radio chat :)
(Have not tested PB yet)
