Fixing starting issue

The guide is made to tell you how to fix a issue when starting the game.

If you have the issue with clicking play and then it doesn't do anything and closes or comes up with a error, then you might need to know this guide will help.

1.First fix to try do is by going into your Programs and features in control panel in Windows, and then to click Turn windows features on or off, then in the list, you need to find legacy features or legacy components and then enable Directplay feature, then click OK.

as shown below:

If you are a Windows 10 user and can't find the section, type in Search "Control panel" and it should be a blue type icon, click that, this control panel is the legacy control panel as shown below.

Thanks for reading.

Mine was already checked but I'm still having startup issues. When I launch from Steam the game opens and then immediately minimizes to my taskbar and will not open. Was looking forward to some good ole' DF2!
