Unfortunately I have been unable to locate or install wmp. I have been trying for 2 days now. I am probably going to have to just get a refund and at some point reinstall windows.


Try this

How to install Windows Media Player
Open Settings.
Click on Apps.
Click on Apps & features.
Click the manage optional features link. Apps & features settings.
Click the Add a feature button. Manage optional features settings.
Select Windows Media Player.
Click the Install button. Install Windows Media Player on Windows 10.

Same screen make sure Internet Explorer is installed

If it is not a windows update explanation, I would reinstall and check that my backup of internal files have happened.

I have turned Direct Play on and it didn't change anything.

However, I have good news, I managed to get the game to work!

I changed the line in the Startup.ini from 

playmovie 1

to

playmovie 0

And the game started up.

Note, that I previously tried changing it from: 
playmovie 1
to 
'playmovie 1
as suggested above, and although it might sound crazy, it didn't work. I verified this multiple times:
This does NOT work: 
'playmovie 1

This does: 
playmovie 0


Thanks for your help.



This did the trick for me! Thanks a lot for sharing, I was starting to get desperate

Not sure if you got this fixed but you need to reinstall DirectX as files are missing.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the suggestion. I downloaded DirectX 9 but was unsuccessful in installing it. I looked for solutions at Microsoft and followed the procedure to enable Direct Play in Windows 10 to no avail. Tried to post the links but keep getting You are not allowed to post links, emails or phone numbers for 7 days from the date of your tenth post. It seems that it takes longer now for the startup screen to disappear, that's all. I contacted Tech Support and sent the requested DXdiag report, heard nothing back. Followed up the next day and have still heard nothing. No Tech Support on the weekend? Preparing to request refund but would much rather have the game based on what I have seen and heard about it.

I'll keep trying. Welcome any other suggestions.

P.S. Tech doesn't like me. Trying to create a post lost it and had to log in again and recreate the post three times.
What's up with You are not allowed to post links, emails or phone numbers for 7 days from the date of your tenth post.?
The one above was my first post and it was yesterday. The game AND the forum are buggy? I'm getting paranoid here.

Status: offline 		I just installed the game (from Steam) and also installed the Bacon mod with the RetreatUE on Windows 10 64bit on a Laptop with an Intel/Nvidia double graphics card, probably the most complicated setup to install any game on.

My problem was three things that needed to be done...

Step 1

in your "...\Steam\steamapps\common\Distant Worlds Universe" folder there is a text file called "startup.ini". In this file change...

playmovie 1 to playmovie 0

Note: The reason why the movie does not start are most likely becasue you have a hybrid Intel/(Nvidia or ATI) as you do on many laptops, but even some dasktop computers have those. The media player will try to start the movie with the Intel CPU and the game runs with the proper GPU. This will not work. You can force the game to run with the Intel GPU but I would not recomend doing that, just disable the movie... ;)
You sadly can't force Windows 10 to run the Media Player with the proper GPU such as Nvidia or ATI


Step 2

Install DirectX9... the files does not come with the Steam installation so use this one...

https://www.microsoft.com/en-nz/download/details.aspx?id=8109


Step 3

I had to start the game with Administrator mode for the Bacon mod to load, but I don't think I needed to do that with the standard game. Most likely because the Bacon mod throw a modal popup when the exe is run.

Note: This step should only be necessary for the Bacon mod...

I resolved the problem by disabling the startup movie by changing playmovie 1 to playmovie 0

Status: offline 		For those of you who have Windows 2004 installed and cannot run the game:





In regard to Distant Worlds Universe not running under Windows 2004..... these are my findings.

If you run from Steam or use the Desktop Shortcut you will get the popup screen giving you the button Play Distant Worlds.
This no longer works under Windows 2004.

However if you go to the Distant Worlds folder under common and click on DistantWorlds.exe the game will run.

Bacon Mod will however crash still...... but the original Distant Worlds Universe game still runs via the Distant Worlds Folder.

This worked for me. I Downloaded the tool at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=30135. Started the tool and let it do its thing (Important: keep the tool open) The went into the DistantWorlds folder opened the subfolder "redist" and ran the DXSETup.exe. It did not complete the first two times but I noticed it got further with each attempt. You will click next after each attempt with DXSETup.exe in the .Net repair tool. The third time was a charm, DX finished all the way, and I clicked finish on the .Net Repair tool. DW worked immediately, no other modifications to ini or exe files needed. Thanks for the tip moonraker65!

I'm still on Windows 10 1909.

Status: offline 		I should also mention I'm the Distant Worlds PC version. I have it on Steam but haven't tried it there. There was no "redist" folder in the game files at the Steam location, at least for me. I will try it later and see if the issue is repaired there as well.

Edit: Also takes care of the same issue with Steam.

Status: offline 		What MEDIA file type is it that starts the game? Because i think this is a good lead to solving it as well. The thing is that in Windows 10 it´s a HUGE list to set the standard program for which program that opens a certain media file so best if i know the first if i will get anywhere in my own troubleshooting this common problem with DWU as it seems. Thanks Tullius for that input.
EDIT: Intro file is .wmv file extension, plays fine directly from the player.
Nah this problem was one of those naughty ones, tried lots of fixes now to no use. Difficult problem here.

Footnote: I ment to say media file at first up here and i left out the word "media", darn i get irritated on myself how sloppy i am, excuse.

Yes i finally got it to work!

And i will try to describe here as best as i can to help any other customer running into the same problems like i did.
The thing for me was personally that i got to eager to run the game so i clicked twice after installing the game from the game menu so i got two executed programs on startup so i chose to shut down one of them. After that the game was not able to execute the program so some seconds into trying to start it several times, something had apparently gone wrong\corrupted there.
So i tried possible fix after fix but it shut down rather fast and any crash log to view was just one of the problems i had to skip since it for the moment just was too far stretched to get that to even produce one to view.

So my solution was: Uninstalling\reinstalling paying close attention and making sure to follow all steps exactly to avoid any little mistake during the installation, shutting down AV program as well as setting User Control Account to a minimum during download and installation, the .Net 4.0 frame, the three of the instances to install checked so it did it´s thing finishing with one repair try at one of the first applications mentioned above, restarting the PC, clicking once from the game menu to let it execute the game. And it went further and loaded it all as it should.

Status: offline 		I have found the simplest way is to install it to a windows 7 virtual machine. That is ok because it is not graphics heavy. I love distant worlds so much I have a VM dedicated to it. Nothing touches it to this day for sheer gameplay and a living universe.
I really hope distant worlds 2 runs on linux. By the looks of it there will be some 3d stuff and if it doesn't run in linux natively or with proton that will definitely be a real shame.

in the startup.ini file in main folder make sure the line reads as
playmovie 0

Also make sure directx is updated.

so it does not play the video.
