Does Battlefield Vietnam work with windows 7

[TN_sleestak · Accepted solution]

I play Battlefield Vietnam on a Win 7 backup computer that is not hooked up to the internet, so I undid the KB3086255 security update, and yes BV works!  It's awesome to play on a win 7 machine, b/c you can crank up all the graphics at run at 64 bots.

It should run on your Windows 7 system but it can cause trouble. You should try to install it and if issues occur, try the windows compatibility mode.

Yes it should run fine on Windows 7. If you run into any problems run it in compatibility mode for Windows Xp service pack 2 or 3. Have fun!!

Hello @Amurmutahar,

Please make sure to update your game to version 1.20 first and afterwards to 1.21. You may need to run the game with administrator privileges. Please go to the compatibility tab and tick "Run this program as an administrator". Try to run the game with different compatibility modes such as Windows Server 2008.

Cheers

My friend is also having the same issue game is up to date, tried to run administrative and all the compatibility modes. nothing seems to work. I try to start and the best i got is black screen for a second and then it just went back to home screen. before this he was also just getting the "work in progress" symbol and nothing was happing, till i started messing with the 260 color setting in the preferences. please help with any suggestions, as i am completely stumped

I have been having issues with this just recently had it installed not 9 months ago and ran fine with no issues. 

I have the patches 1.2 &1.21 installed, I have tried reinstalling the game, I have ran it in compatibility mode with Windows XP (service pack 2&3) Windows 2000, and Vista. I run the program as with administrative privileges. Not sure why it isn't working now.

are you also not even having the game start up at all the best you can get is black screen?
