Problems with DirectPlay

[Murasame]

Hello! I just got the game KKND 2 Crossfire, which I have longed for quite some time. However, after installing it, it wont run. It says it needs directplay 5.1. I have tried to download directplay, but when trying to install that, it says I already have a never version of DirectX and it wont install. I thought that Directplay was a part of DirectX, so why wont it work. I have the latest DirectX? Any clues?

What operating system are you running?

I am using Windows 98. I have also tried running it through Wine in Mandrake Linux 10 (which is my primary OS) but that didnt work either.

Have you patched (http://melbournehouse.kknd2.com/patch.html) it?


recognize and use versions of Direct X higher than 5

heh no problemo. When trying to play older games, its always the best idea to look around for patches =]

You should see the trouble I went through to get Final Fantasy 7 to work on my 9800xt PC =P
