Return of Reckoning

I was able to get it to work, did the same steps but ran the Windows 10 DirectX installer as administrator. Not sure if that made a difference but it was the only step I did different from the other 10 times trying to get it to work.

I am having this issue as well, just tried to install the game yesterday, this is what I did.

Installed the Game did the installer not the Torrent.
Installed the DX9 patch.
Enabled Direct Play Under Windows Components
Booted to Safemode, uninstalled my nvidia drivers using the removal tool.
Booted ...
