    DirectPlay protocol old games issue on Windows 10

    Tried already, with no success.

    Here is a hint written in the article :

    • Windows 10 users may not be able to get this working at all, DirectPlay is pretty old and will not be in your favor when you run the game using reverse compatibility settings.

    That's what made pop into my mind there should be an issue with DIrectPlay and WIndows 10

    How do you install directplay on windows 10 to play old games?

    You should be able to turn on DirectPlay in Windows Features, it should not ask for a restart when you do so. What happens when you try? What errors or messages do you see?

    How do you install directplay on windows 10 to play old games?

    Welcome to TenForums @lyds84

    DirectPlay is a deprecated feature, which is why it's not included in Windows 10 by default. It can however be enabled if you need it. NB: you must be signed in as an administrator to be able to turn it on. See this tutorial.
