The server needs to complete the registration for you. There's nothing you can do but wait and be patient. I installed this yesterday and it did not work.
Today the game starts up. So try again tomorrow.

While I love that site for playing good ol' retro games, you need to be a little careful since some of those games have DRM (ex. StarForce) that can brick modern OS'. There are ways to get around it but idk if it's considered piracy by doing that.

interesting a paid DLC that go free for a time set, for a F2P game ... i never saw that
(aside free DLC that were free since the start ofc )mhhh seems like a Clash-like game, not a fan in particular but that one look a touch more likeable than the "original" that got overhyped due to being played on e-sport tournaments.
might give it a go ... since f2p and a free dlc
