A community member has submitted a little patch that he claims fixes some lag issues a few users are experiencing in BFV. I have tested it and noticed no real difference, but then again, I did not have much lag in the first place. But a number of community members express this patch does have a positive effect in some cases. I personally still have doubts if this patch even works but figured I would make it available to anyone willing to try it. Just make sure you are comfortable with this sort of tinkering. This patch adds the line, Game.soundbuffersize 400, inside the /settings/default.com file:

500kb to add one line?

carramrod01 · 03-17-2004, 11:54 PM

im sure someone has got to scan it for some sort of virus or trojan that would steal a cd key...so the fact that fileplanet is hosting it makes me think its safe...but 500k to add 1 line is wierd.

[Damien] · 03-18-2004, 02:27 AM

If that's all it does I might as well add the line myself.

Dick_Justice · 03-18-2004, 08:19 AM

Its got a self installer, thats why its 500 kb...

urseus · 03-18-2004, 10:38 PM

I only had a slight lag problem, and adding this line fixed it up completly.

Id really like a list of all config changes if anyone finds them.....

NavalLord · 03-19-2004, 01:47 AM

does this screw up anything else or make the game smooth with no probs?

urseus · 03-19-2004, 02:59 AM

All it does (and you can do it yourself without downloading anything) is adds a line of text that says something like "increase sound buffer 4000 1"

Because this engine always has sound problems affecting lag, i think it increases the sound flow from the default. Give it a go. If it wreaks your game, simply go back in and delete the line of text. Simple.

roger that, this lag is killing me, really, its impossible to fly planes and choppeers with some of it, and sometimes my hit detection doesnt work at all

malman1080 · 03-19-2004, 08:47 AM

I tried it! BFV works for me now!!!!!!!!!!! I love BFV!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to whoever found it!!!!!!!!!!!11

UnKnownSoldier · 03-19-2004, 08:52 AM

Shit all I did was update my drivers & Lo' & behold

But if I ever encounter this problem, tis a good find DJ!

[BFN]Walmart Security · 03-21-2004, 07:52 AM

so what is the correrct line to add. do I need a 1 after the 400??

NavalLord · 03-21-2004, 03:52 PM

this is the line i have

Game.soundbuffersize 400

i put it after all the Game.somethings and before that other stuff

Gen. Chaos · 03-23-2004, 01:07 AM

Adding this line seemingly caused me to lose some sound effects. I had all sound options on high with EAX enabled. I didn't notice any improvement either.

urseus · 03-23-2004, 03:35 AM

I have this line and my game runs amazing.

I used to have those texture tearing problems, but putting AA and AF to OFF and restarting cleared it all up. The game runs as smooth as Call Of duty.

What i have found though, is that now my forgotten hope is lagging and having connection problems. Its like my computer evolved and now doesnt like the older stuff.

i got this from the bf nam site. ea games place. said to add this to a file.
go to your mod file under ea games/battlefield vietnam in c drive. open the mod file. then open the bfvietnam file. open settings. find default.con file and use wordpad to open it. add this line under the rest of the lines and then save it.

Add game.soundbuffersize 400

thats what ea games site said to add. heres the link also if you wanna check for yourself.

might be easier than dloading 500kb prog to install the line. have fun. hope it helps
