    I just got DSL today and among other games I was looking forward to playing battlefield vietnam but now when I load it, it just says "battlefield vietnam has encountered a problem and must close" and it closes! I can't play it, even with the latest patch. I have tried reinstalling numerous times to no avail.... anybody?

    Just do a reinstall, it should solve your problem. Also make sure you are patched to the latest version. Check the stickes for our thread on patches and updates for Battlefield and also other drivers.

    for tech support go to the EA site (type EA into google) . Go to the support page . First look through the knowledge base and if your prob is not there send them an email . personally i just had to send them a directx file .

    jimmey i am in the same sh*t as you...


    got tasty broadband today wanted to have a few goes of bf1942 (use to play it on isdn) only problem is that i dont have the manual of the game anymore...well it could be here somewhere but damned if i know where. result i cant play it with my big tasty broadband. had to settle for enemy territory which is not impressing me at moment.


    how can i prove to EA that i own the game so that they'll ship me another cd key...send them a picture of me holding the box, cds etc
