Windows 10/Directx issue or something else?

    Trying to play EQ2 again.

    Getting the following alert log:
    build="SOEBuild=13955L" version="SOEVersionString=2018/3/19 9:40:00" build_type="USER OPTIMIZED" ls_address="none" zone="<None>" loc=" 0.00 0.00 0.00" performance="3" alert="G:\live\eq2\framework\vdl\VdlErr.cpp(85): (VDL Parser) runtimevdl/cbaseclasses.vdl(21) : Error, File not found, runtimevdl/services.vdl.
    "
    Past searches show that the fix is to plop some Directx9 files into the EQ2 folder but that isnt working for me.
    Has something changed requiring additional files?
    I should just take this as a sign to stay away, but I've been itching for some EQ2 again
