I found a great tip on the Planet Battlefield Forums on improving your BF:V performance.

Basically, with the latest Audio and Video Drivers and a default (for me 800x600 at medium texture levels) graphic settings, add these lines:

To your open your cProgram Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield Vietnam\Mods\BfVietnam\settings\default.con file:

Quote:
rem *** for BC
rem Game.GameLevelPath BFVietnam/Levels/Operation_Irving/

Game.useMenu 1
Game.useHud 1
Game.menuMain BattlefieldMenu
Game.menuInGame InGame
Game.menuMap Map
Game.DebugCallbackDisabled 0
Game.soundbuffersize 8192

run AliasedCommands.con

softRun ../../../Tools/Editors/Editors.con


and, to your cProgram Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield Vietnam\Mods\BfVietnam\settings\videodefault.con

Quote:
rem * TEMP *
renderer.FullScreen 1
renderer.fieldOfView 1
renderer.globalLodRadius 1
renderer.globalLodRadiusScaleFactor 5
console.showStats 0
renderer.allowAllRefreshRates 1


The only other thing I've done is to quit all user tasks except taskmgr.exe and explorer.exe from my task manager (do not quit any system tasks!)

I'm gonna give this a work out before I 100% endorse it as a "fix" but it has made the game improve 200% from inital gameplay after making the changes. Anyone else who gives these tweaks a go, please post here with your results.
