Checking DirectPlay libraries...
Looking for dpwsockx.dll...
Failure!
DirectPlay failed to load properly. This is probably an OS installation bug. You might need to reinstall your operating system. Windows 8.1 and later users can install DirectPlay through Control Panel -> Programs -> Turns Windows features on or off -> Legacy Components -> DirectPlay.
Then run game diagnostics again.
This could also do the trick: chkdsk /x /r /f X: where X is your partition with the WINDOWS folder.
