Win10 DirectPlay deprecated

[michal.t]

Can not launch the game. It is imposible to install DirectPlay in Win10 anymore. Any ideas? Thanks.

In elevated command line:

dism /Online /enable-feature /FeatureName:"DirectPlay" /NoRestart

Or via ControlPanel - Application Install/uninstall - enable/disable windows components - old versions components
Check DirectPlay.

Thanks. I have tried both but it does not work. I have read that DirectPlay was deprecated in last version of Win10. In command line it writes the error: 50.

You need to enable it in Windows features under Legacy Components.

Settings->Apps-Apps & Features

Scroll down, then on right you should see Related Settings header with a clickable "Programs and Features" link. Click that, then on the left there is a "Turn Windows features on or off" link. Click that, then look under Legacy Components, check DirectPlay to enable it.

Mine doesnt work too but DirectPlay is enabled so what ist the Problem? I can start the Game, the Sound comes with no Problem, then I chose my Profile without sound, it laggs and when it starts there is no sound

Update: I find out its a Soundproblem but everything I tried didn't work. I start the Game with Sound On it lagged when I cut the Sound of it works fine

Try download Windows 10 iso from Microsoft site, same language pack.
Then mount it to D:

DISM /Image:C:\test\offline /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:DirectPlay /All /LimitAccess /Source:D:\sources\sxs
