I tried various things I knew about, including giving the client an exception in my firewall, running as administrator, making sure I had C++ redistributable installed, but to no avail. It wasn't until I ran and installed Microsoft's Direct X End-User Runtime that it began working without issue. FYI: The above link is fine, although it means you need to install the files in your system. A perhaps better link that exists nowadays is this one: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/down...ils.aspx?id=35 as it's a web-based installer, and does all the installation work for you.
Bit of a bump but I copied my game from an old laptop to a new laptop and encountered the issue where the game would crash after selecting the world.

Ran the above installer and then the game works.

This is going from a Windows 10 laptop to a Windows 10 laptop.
