A little bit progression today. I get in games when I manyally chance the resolution to 800x600 from Intel Graphic-settings.
If I dont do that, the shortcut launch only black screen and I have to pass it by logging off in Windows.
In gameplay pressing ESC throws back to desktop and show 1/4 of the screen in black, again have to log off.
How to fix this?
Edit. And in the gameplay all the text looks different, actually really crappy. I mean the chat and the log on upper left.

Okey, now I know what is the problem. (Got a little hint from the another thread):
When I change the screen to TV, the game lauched.
So I may have that resolution issue. Laptop's screen is 1920x1080, but the game needs 800x600 (?)
Can I do something that the game can work also in laptop's screen?

Go to the folder where your game is installed, something like C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES, and find the "BlackScreen.exe" and set that to also run with admin rights and compatibility.
Let us know how you get on
Did that also, still the same issue.

Thank you both for responses. Indeed, my Windows update was shut off and I turned that back on from services.msc.
I also enabled these hidden Windows 10 administrator accounts, changed the icon run with XpSp3 compatibility and running as admin.
Now the error x80070422 is gone, mut the game wont start, there just appear little black screen for a second and that's all.
What to do now?
I Downloaded the game from here: https://brandonhemmy.wixsite.com/f2pgam … -downloads
Edit. And the DirectPlay is on from Control Panel

Hello,
I just installed the game but it wont launch because of error 0x80070422. What i'm missing?
I have w10 Pro 64-bit.
Edit: ditto error comes when trying launch from desktop icon. First time after installing the error message was something (my freely translate):
"code 740; the requested action requires an increase"
