Any fix for Windows 10?

[Coppershoe]

The games needs DirectPlay to install, however, it looks like windows 10 blocks the installation of that program.

try copying the d3drm.dll into the root folder. Best from a older XP instalation.

It worked for me on W10 after I disabled Avast to activate DirectPlay.
Looks like Avast was blocking the activation.

I've had no issue.
I went to programs and features then legacy components and turned on Directplay from there.

I didn't have any problems at all. Win10 64bit 144hz refresh monitor... I was expecting issues. I installed and it simply ran - I didn't change any settings anywhere. Avast could be the issue, as noted above. I'm running ESET.

I haven't tried xwaupgrade yet. Hoping that works okay too.

Good luck.

Just go get it on GoG. They take the time to make sure their games run, unlike Steam.
