Filename tells “direct play patch”

My thoughts were Digital Anvil Library…
Was it something to solve the Windows 10 issue with directplay not being enabled by default? That’s just a tickbox away usually…

I would love to have some more Info about this “Patch” as well.
Since SOME of my players running under WIN 10 experienced random crashs (client-side only) lately…
So maybe this DALib helps ???

It ignores [c]CriticalWarningFn[/c] if it hasn’t been set. The critical warning occurs when DirectSound or DirectPlay fail to initialize.

Thank you @adoxa for clearings things up.

So its just a “fix” for singleplayer-issues.
I guess it wouldn´t be very helpful to ignore/skip those warnings in a Multiplayer-Mod since directplay is needed to connect with a multiplayer-server…
