So,

i have the problem that i cant play on voobly because direct play wont work or something i dont know.

The Problem comes when im joining a Lobby on Voobly and and the first thing i see is the direct play problem.

Log: DirectPlay failed to load properly. This is probably an OS installation bug. You might need to reinstall your operating system. Windows 8.1 and later users can install DirectPlay through Control Panel -> Programs -> Turns Windows features on or off -> Legacy Components -> DirectPlay.

I've already tried this more than once and tried other things i found in the internet.
Nothing helped so forum might be the last hope i have.

I've winderp 10 and AoE 2 HD over steam for voobly to play on it already download anything i need.

Hi mate!

Do this - First disable your DirectPlay and restart your PC and again enable back your directplay and restart your PC and join your game lobby and see.


Hope this helps, Good luck.
You must login into Voobly to view image

Sorry for hi-jacking your thread here but I have the same problem, the thing is I can't even enable/disable DirectPlay as it doesn't even appear in the programs list in windows.

When I start Voobly it says:

"Non-DirectPlay game path is 'd:\spel\steamapps\common\age2hd'
Your version of the game is not compatible with Voobly.

You must install the most recent 1.0c compatibility pack for Age2HD"

And I did install that compatibility pack, but it still prompts me to do it.
Any clue how to fix it?

When I try to install the updates on this thread: http://www.voobly.com/forum/thread/170569 - it says that "The retail version of Age of Empires II is not installed on this system."
