It'd also help if you'd say WHICH of the Settlers games you're referring to...

Make sure you've enabled DirectPlay. https://support.ubi.com/en-gb/Faqs/000027439/Activate-DirectPlay-or-DirectDraw-Direct-3D-on-Windows-10
Settlers 4 does not use DirectPlay, so is really not needed. If it would need it and it was not installed, then a Windows dialog would pop up asking, if it should be installed.

(BTW. DirectPlay has also nothing to do with DirectDraw).
