Now that Xlobby is dead, I decided it was time to try MP on the XL server.

I checked the MP documentation and made sure I have:

.net 4.52
DirectX 9.0c End-User Runtime
Visual C++ Redistributables 2010 and 2013

Ran all Windows updates.

Server is 2008 R2.

I installed MP with server and client all defaults.

The server starts fine.

When I run the Client (same machine) I get the MP 2.0 10th anniversary splash screen and then if closes.

No error, nothing in Windows Error Log or any other indications as to what might be wrong.

I would appreciate any suggestions. I hunted in the Forums and see 1 reference to some Server 2008 patch but cant locate that.

Thanks!
PB

    It was already installed to sucess but I did run this link again and it says that"

    "DirectX has determined that a newer or equivalent version is already installed. No installation is necessary"

    I'm all out of ideas I'm afraid. I run MP2 on Windows Home Server 2011 (Win2008 Server R2 under the hood) but I only use the server on that machine. Maybe there's some fundamental multimedia bit missing from Windows Server that prevents DX from working (like the BDA stuff for TV capture is)?
