Fix for DirectX error Win11/10

[°•♥•° MissBexyBaby °•♥•°]

I just returned to Total Annihilation after many years since I last played it and like most others, I received two issues:

Firstly, when I clicked play on TA in my Steam library, I got an error message telling me "DirectPlay" was needed, which is a Legacy windows feature. So I went to "Turn windows features on/off" and enabled it via the relevant click. From there, I tried to play TA but received "DirectX setup" fail error.

So, during my second issue, I read through here stating patches etc were needed, but they're not. The simple fix for me was to navigate to Steam Total Annihilation folders, find the .exe which is TotalA, went to its properties, and enabled the game to run as Administrator.

Problem solved, the game now runs and plays (it actually runs just by clicking the .exe but Steam shows you as online and not in game, etc, if you do that).

I hope this helps others who may be having this issue

I suppose DXWND is still the norm with megamap?
