Hi guys, Shadow of Chernobyl seems to show the multiplayer rooms with number of players inside. However, when I click join, the game prompts me to install DirectPlay. Is this true for everyone? Should I install it? Does GoG have another patch aside from installing it from the Stalker-game.com site like some who suggested here?

I do not really do multi-player but a lot of older games need DirectPlay so just enable it in Windows features.
