Battlefield Vietnam Display settings

Some players will have graphic problems such as crashes to desktop etc below is a fix for this.

Open the file VideoDefault.con located in the settings folder on Battlefield Vietnam.

The main config files are found under the \EA Games\Battlefield vietnam\Mods\Bfvietnam\Settings\

Windows 7 64 bit
C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield Vietnam\Mods\BfVietnam\settings

Open VideoDefault.con using Notepad (Right click on VideoDefault.con, choose "properties" then "change" then select Notepad)

Change the line renderer.allowAllRefreshRates 0 to renderer.allowAllRefreshRates 1

If windows will not allow you to save the file, save the file to desktop then drag it into the settings folder to overwrite it.

Running Battlefield Vietnam in FULL HD 1920x1080

In order to run Battlefield Vietnam in FULL HD you have to change the video config files. The Config files are found in two different places on Windows 7 64 bit both will be listed below.

will we be able to have the ingame music, coz last time i installed the game it didnt let me play the ingame music.

i love flying around listening to the old school songs and smashing ppl

Hey 6 mate, nah music etc doesn't work on Vista / Win 7, that being said, what I did was download the songs from Youtube like "nowhere to run" convert it to mp3 and name it "a.mp3" then the next track b.mp3 etc, place them into C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield Vietnam\My Music.

Then when you get into a Vehicle your custom list will come up and you can kill to music again
