Hello guys!

Just purchased DK2, but for all that is holy, the game won't launch, and that makes me a sad panda...

I've tried all compatability modes, tried running as admin, tried forcing the game to launch with Nvidia graphics (I'm on a laptop - Lenovo Y700, with GeForce 960 4GB). But every single time I launch the game, I get this error:

"The program could not start correctly (oxc0000022) Click on OK to close the program"

I mean, the error comes almost instantly when I launch DK2...

I even tried to reinstall some old DirectX drivers and the DirectX end-user runtime web installer, recommended on another forum. But no such luck :(

If you're using Windows 10 try enabling DirectPlay as explained here:

If you're using Windows 8, try this:

Thanks you, mighty keeper! :)

Can't believe it was so easy, just enabled directplay (which I thought I had already done) - and BOOM!
Game launches without problems

I had the same problem. Thanks a lot. It's not really obvious that direct play is the problem. Glad that the Forums on gog are almost always helpfull there. thumbs up!
