Wondering if anyone has some resources or directions as to where I could find more information on running a BF vietnam server on linux.
Is there a dedicated resource for running server on linux or do I have to use something like mono?

I do not have a CD key. To test I started a server on my own pc on 127.0.0.1, disabled internet and when I tried joining I was still required a valid cd key. I am currently running on v1.21 patch.

Hello,
I've been trying to get this to work for hours now but nothing seems to work. I get the "invalid CD key" error no matter what I do. Here's what I have tried:
- Installing bfvietnam-v1.2 and bfvietnam-v1.21 patches
- Editing hosts file (I get a list of servers, so at least that works)
- Read pretty much every single thread that had "vietnam" in it. Tried all of the suggested solution without any luck
I am running windows 10 with latest updates installed, I read somewhere on forums  that if you're past a certain update the patch won't work?
The game itself works fine, but as soon as I try to join a server I run into the invalid CD key issue. I just wanna play on a LAN server, don't even care if I am unable to join any remote servers. The game was downloaded as a torrent, I would of bought it but Origin has taken it down.

Any help is appreciated!
