Electronic Arts has released the first Battlefield Vietnam patch, updating the game to version 1.01. The 16.7mb update comes with several multiplayer changes and improvements. Updated Windows and Linux dedicated server files are available as well. Here are the client fixes
-Sort by Ping fixed in Server Browser.
-Scrollbar fixed in Server Browser.
-Player number now displays properly if more than 10000 players.
-Soldier prediction fixed to remove jerky movements when walking/jumping.
-M60 removed from the LAW kit and replaced with M14.
-M60 and RPD min/max bullet deviation increased when standing/moving.
-M60 and RPD max bullet deviation decreased slightly when prone.
-Rate of fire and velocity of M60/RPD adjusted.
-Player movement speeds on Heavy Assault kits reduced slightly.
-Network overhead of vehicle engines and airlifting significantly reduced.
-Added minimap warning icon when enemies are within capture radius of an opposing team flag.
-The Dedicated Server option in the Multiplayer -> Create Game menu has been removed to fix potential issues with Punkbuster. Non dedicated Internet servers started from this menu will no longer use Punkbuster. As a result of these changes, Punkbuster can only be enabled when using the Standalone Dedicated Server. The required exe's have been included in the client 1.01 patch.
