I see there are a number of patch to down load for Vietcong. I play on line a lot are all these patches necessary to improve the game ?
Is it recommended to down load the other game ‘ Fist Alpha’ to run with ‘Vietcong’ ?
Ive noticed that some players on line wear sunglasses, how is this possible ?
I’m on ‘Windows 7’, if I play Vietcong off line the game keeps crashing, Ive tried running this ‘ VC starter’ down load but it doesn’t make any difference, im confused when they say to replace the ‘ Vietcong exe’ file !.
Hi.
Fist Bravo is needed for ability to play some maps, without that addon they just won't load in game.
What about sunglasses, lol, it's atribute of engineer class. so if you take an engineer, you got sunglasses.
I'm glad to help you

Those patches will not only improve the game, but they will also fix a lot of bugs and add "new content" (new objects, sounds,...)
Is it recommended to down load the other game ‘ Fist Alpha’ to run with ‘Vietcong’ ?
Fist Alpha is the only "regular" addon available for Vietcong, and it's a MUST HAVE (in my opinion) for Vietcong because A LOT of maps are using maps and contents from this addon! Without it, you won't be able to join and play those maps...
Ive noticed that some players on line wear sunglasses, how is this possible ?
The players who chose the engineer class will wear the "sun glasses", those who select the medic will wear the "classic glasses", but ONLY if the Characters you play with are those from the "original game"! Those who have been added "later" (with the patches) won't wear those "equipments"...

I can't really help because I'm still on XP but it's a known bug FROM "those OS", not even able to make working older games correctly (thanks Micro$oft! lol)! Those crashes are due to the "radio calls" in the solo campain... They are related to a "sound problem".
VC starter will work sometimes for some, and not for the others... I never read somewhere "why" exactly. The "only" real solution for me is to have a dual boot, with XP also...but it's not very "practical" of course!
When you are asked to "replace" the Vietcong.exe, just RENAME it, like Vietcong_original.exe, and copy the "new" (delivered) Vietcong.exe at the same place (in the main Vietcong folder). IF for any reason, it's "not working", you still have your original Vietcong(_original).exe as a backup!!!
Thank you for that guys, I have tried all the options and patches, the only thing that is still a mystery is not being able to play (win 7) off line as the game crashes and the ‘ VC starter’ download doesn’t work.. as it seems a nightmare to set up ! still long as I can play online… thats the main thing.
