    Why everyone who doesn't have it yet. I forsee BFBC2 Vietnam being a huge hit. :-)

    Steam had Vietnam on sale yesterday as pre-order/Download and allowed you 3 day early access before public release.

    I passed, as I don't have the base game yet - still - again - (ever?)

    Ok, I've been all over my dang PC trying to find this file. It doesn't exist.

    Now I gotta find out what is suppose to be in the darn thing and recreate it.

    OK, so I found out about this tool to modify all the settings.

    I'm not sure if it works with the latest patch, but it's worth checking out.

    It still looks like modifying the FoV is the way to go.

    BTW, let me know what video cards you guys are using. I'm thinking my card may be on it's last leg for this game.

    Mine is a new Nvidia 460 (EVGA). Runs nice.

    Mine is a 9800GTX

    Dang, looks like I have the oldest video card here. Time to order a new one.

    Bubba, what CPU and how much onboard memory do you have? I'm worried that if I buy this, I won't have enough Memory left over due to the whole Windows GPU memory allocation issue.

    I am running win 7 x64, so that isn't an issue,

    I am running a very high end C2D I want to say it's a 3.25Ghz, with stacks of cache. I have 4Gb of DDR2, dual channel.

    It runs great.

    I'm running 2GB with 32-bit Win 7. I guess I could give it a shot. Is yours the 1GB or 768GB model?
  13. #16
    1Gb
  14. #17
    BTW, if you order a EVGA, they have 2 versions of each card, and one of the versions is $10 more. It costs more but gives you a lifetime warantee.

    I did not know that. Thanks Bubba.

    I guess I'll pull the trigger on the 1GB. If my system dogs because of the memory, then I'll really have a reason to upgrade. :-)

    Note however, if you are running 32bit Win 7, the ram on the vid card counts against your total system ram. i.e. in essence, with 32bit you can have max 4Gb Memory addressed, You vid card with 1Gb eats you down to a max of 3Gb system ram. Of course if you had a pair you would have installed win 7 64bit, then within any true human possibility there is no restriction ( I think it's 128Gb of addressed memory).

    I think you knew this but covering it just in case.

    Yea, that's why I was debating which card to get. I'm going to get the 1GB card. The memory architecture is slightly better.

    I didn't install 64 because I only have 2GB of memory and it wasn't worth any program compatibility hassles for something that didn't benefit me anyway.

    I did buy the retail version and have both 32 and 64 bit and will switch when I rebuild my system.

    Win 7 64bit <> Win XP 64bit in regards to compatibility.

    They did pretty good with Win7x64, unless you had something really odd, I would guess you wouldn't notice now.

    But 32bit won't really hold you back either. And I know that you know all this, so I will shut up now.

    LOL!

    No worries. I'm seriously considering just upgrading my mobo/cpu/memory/video. This just gives me an excuse.

    The only issue I have is finding the time to reinstall 64 bit and all my apps. It was such a pain just getting the Witcher installed. I'm not sure I want to start that over.

    OK, I pulled the trigger. 1GB EVGA 460 GTX, I5 2.8, 8GB Ram and a new mobo to tie it nicely together. Looks like I have a 64 bit windows reinstall in my future.
