Did not answer my question, check in windows optional features and make sure that Directplay is checked

Hello,
You can try to reinstall the game.
If you use Steam it is recommended to make a copy of the game directory and to run the game from this directory.
Then you can try these steps:
- install the game and verify that the game works
- install the 2020 Mega Patch and verify that the game works
- install the Patch 5.0 and verify that the game works
- install the Patch 5.5 and verify that the game works
