Hi; I seem to recall that the original Vietcong by Pterodon and the 'fist alpha' addon doesn't work on Win 7; does anybody know if that issue has been resolved yet? More importantly, does anybody know how to get the game running on Win7?
Thanks ahead of time.

Great post. Thanks for info. I recently pulled out Vietcong and Fist Alpha to see if I could play them again. Let me know how it goes for you; if it works, I will try to copy you. Vietcong is one of my favorite FPS games-except for all that 'tunnel crawling' that is.

I'm playing Black Mesa right now, Half Life 1 updated to look like Half Life 2. This is an old shooter!
Oldest I've played recently was Thief: The Dark Project from 1998 I believe? No updates, just vanilla off Steam. Graphics were primitive as can be but the gameplay still held up.

Dangit I just checked my PMs and I think I deleted it to make room. I recall typing quite a bit of info in it too with links but I don't remember now what all that was. I believe I used patch v1.01 which I have if you need. I'm not sure where I got it but it should be somewhere.(Maybe ModDB) I'm pretty sure I used this tool though that someone created called "Vietcong Starter". Hopefully it will help you to launch it in Windows 10 and it lets you configure certain things even support for widescreen I believe. http://www.moddb.com/games/vietcong/downloads/vietcong-starter-1651I'm not sure if it can also be used for Fist Alpha but its probably worth a shot. I still haven't installed it yet myself.

BUT...it is kind of laggy/stuttery; So....what to do next to smooth things out? NM

my specs? I wish I knew; About all I know is I have Win10 Pro, 32 bit OS, and the game says my graphics card is an D38D: ATI Radeon HD 2400XT. What else do you need to know?
