    Windows 10 and FFXI Requeriment of installing DirectX 8.1.(-1)

    After upgraded Windows 7 to 10 FFXI doesnt work in my PC, asking for installation of DirectX 8.1.(-1).
    I've heard solution is setting Windows 10 menu, disabling or enabling something.
    Anyone knows the way? I would apreciate any help.

    You need to enable Direct Play in legacy components:

    Open "Programs and Features" (just search for it in the start menu)
    On the left side of the "Programs and Features" window, click "Turn Windows features on or off"
    Scroll down the "Windows Features" window until you see "Legacy Components"
    Click the "+" next to "Legacy Components"
    Click the box next to "DirectPlay" so there's a checkmark in it
    Click the "OK" button

    It should start installing Restart the computer if it asks you to, but I don't remember if it does. That should be all you need to do.

    Good luck.
