Battlefield Vietnam Problem

[Talus]

Easy..uninstall Alcohol, reboot, try BF:V.

EA has stated that BF:V has issues with Alcohol for some users. Thank goodness I'm not one of them Alcohol is what I use for playing BF games to avoid problems with PB.

Yes, but the problem I am having does not fit EA's description of the problem, i.e. I am not getting the emulation error message.

But isn't it worth trying anyway? Easy to uninstall. Easy to re-install. Better than uninstalling/re-installing BF:V or Punkbuster even.

Yeah but thats not the point,
I read this in this months pcgamer, this user sent a letter complaining about SC: Pandora Tomorrow, as it wont let u play with emulation software, hes point was that, software companies have NO RIGHT to tell u wat can and wat cant u have installed in your pc, so why should E_J uninstall alcohol wich is a perfectly legal program just cos ea dont like it?

And yeah hell provbably end up doing that to play, but my point is that.

EA isn't blacklisting it, but may cause technical issues. I don't pretend to understand the technology but that is how I see it.

If it could help solve a technical problem so easily, why not do it?

I mean, tons of people buy NEW HARDWARE and spend hundreds of hours/dollars to solve technical problems, what's so tough about uninstalling Alcohol for a few minutes? Re-install it afterward.

Because I like the Alcohol software and having to uninstall it every time I want to run the game is ridiculous. It would not be a one-time thing.

BUT TRY IT ONCE!!!

If the game doesn't run even with Alcohol uninstalled then AT LEAST YOU KNOW!!! If it DOES work with Alcohol uninstalled then AT LEAST YOU KNOW!!!

bottom line: YOU KNOW!!!

Sheesh! I'm beginning to wonder about you...

This forum is about copy protection anyway...not about troubleshooting a general issue. If your comp can't run BF:V, take it up with EA then.
