Here is how you can join your Battlefield Vietnam dedicated server. Your server runs version 1.21, so players need the 1.21 patch.
| Your game | Can join? |
|---|---|
| Battlefield Vietnam 1.21 with the OpenSpy patch | Yes, and sees the server in the browser |
| Battlefield Vietnam 1.21 | Yes, by IP address |
| Older than 1.21 | No, update your game first |
To join a modded server, players need that mod installed too.
Connecting From the Server Browser
GameSpy shut down in 2014, so the game's server browser needs the OpenSpy patch. Follow this guide to replace BfVietnam.exe with the patched one, which shows the servers listed on OpenSpy, including yours.
- 1Open Battlefield Vietnam and go to
Multiplayer>Internet. - 2Wait for the list to load, then find your server name. Click a column header to sort if the list is long.
- 3Double-click your server to join. If you set a server password, enter it when asked.
Note
It can take a few minutes for a new server to appear in the server browser after it starts.
Connecting With the IP Address
- 1Log in to Bropanel and select your Battlefield Vietnam server.
