DirectPlay Init Failure!
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.

Some find using compatibility mode for w98 or w95 works better. Try all if having a problem
