System Requirements

Red Dawn requires any previous installation of Vietcong on the target computer and that it is patched up to the latest version V1.60, you can find out which version you are running by checking the top right hand corner of the main menu screen where the version number is displayed.

Red Dawn requires at least 330Mbytes free space on the drive that contains the original Vietcong installation.

Please note that patches need to be installed in order, so depending on the version that you have, you would need to install the patches in the following order from Version 1.01…

V1.30 à V1.41 à V1.60

US customers will have Version 1.00 installed from their original disk install, so should patch in the following order…

V1.01 à V1.30 à V1.41 à V1.60

Customers that have previously installed Vietcong Fist Alpha, or the complete Vietcong Purple Haze pack, will start from V1.51 and should only need to install the V.160 patch.

All patches can be found in the downloads section on the Developers website at http://www.pterodon.com.

To install Red Dawn, simply navigate to the Vietcong Red Dawn Folder and run the RedDawn executable. The install will automatically locate your existing Vietcong installation and install to the correct location.

Using Red Dawn Maps with the Dedicated Server Application

In the root of the Vietcong folder, you will find a program called VCDED.EXE. This program will allow you to run a dedicated server without the need to load the full game first.

To start the dedicated server either double click the icon or at a command prompt type VCDED.EXE. If you have the Red Dawn expansion pack, you should go to a command prompt and type VCDED –ADDON REDDAWN which will give you access to all of the Vietcong and Fist Alpha Maps.
