I appreciate this! This is easy for me to understand and well typed out and explained! Thank you!

I do not use Steam Version sadly. I wish I did at this point.
I have even debated going and downloading through there! Outright buying the newer games if needed [even though I shouldn't have to tbh]. To see if it will run through there. As it seems that there is a way to at least PLAY. I have also debated getting it on the ps5. However, I have tried learning the controller before...and it did not go well for me. So I'd like to stick to the computer lol. I am still heavily debating going to getting the steam version just to be able to play at this point. Of course, in my opinion, also being extremely angry if I am forced to do it this way. I don't like Owning a game, and having to re-purchase via a different method just to be able to play.

I am not sure if it's my ports, and an interference as the last email claimed. I just...don't understand what I'm looking at tbh, at this point in time in regards to that. So I'm waiting on the next visit rom a family member who's a computer whiz. Hoping he can help me through it.

ON A DIFFERENT NOTE
I do hope that you were able to get it all sorted and are able to play now!!!
