While the launcher runs, attempting launch the game itself results it hanging at a white fullscreen. I suspect I know the issue. The game itself requires directplay to run, a deprecated DirectX API.

Hello @masternetra, please copy your system information from steam (Steam -> Help -> System Information) and put it in a gist, then include a link to the gist in this issue report.
