[technical stuff] The game on startup always says it needs "Windows DirectPlay," but my Windows 10 can NOT find anything like that.
While it doesn't keep the game from running, it does tend to crash sometime around one of the tougher later missions, and I don't know if my lack of "DirectPlay" relates to that?
Hi, direct play should only be used for online multiplayer, which is not implemented. And no function should call that. I haven't seen the message yet on any of my devices not on friends.
Can you try installing the legacy directX stuff from windows, that seems to help a lot in general with stability:
