Title: Solution: "Failed to read flag file"
Post by: WMCoolmon on October 12, 2005, 10:19:25 pm

This error probably means you don't have OpenAL installed.

Open AL Installer for Windows (http://connect.creativelabs.com/developer/Wiki/OpenAL%20Installer%20for%20Windows.aspx)

Or better yet, one that's not 3 years old:  :D
Open AL Installer for Windows (http://developer.creative.com/articles/article.asp?cat=1&sbcat=31&top=38&aid=46&file=oalinst.exe), Library 1.1 version 1.9.9, released Dec. '06.

The one linked to above was updated February 9, 2005 -- Lib 1.1 ver. 1.2.8 :no:

As soon as WMC updates his linky, I can delete (or someone else can delete) this post.

That one wasn't even out when he posted.

:necro:

I know that... but it was stickied.  If you sticky something, IMHO, you should keep it relatively up to date.  I dunno.  Anyways... :D

I can't DL the File.  The link doesn't work.  Is there another place to get OPEN AL?

They've done an overhaul to the site. New direct-download link for the Windows installer is http://connect.creativelabs.com/openal/Downloads/oalinst.zip .

Running Mac OS X 10.4.11, and even installing OpenAL it doesn't work... Ideas?

Is that the error you're getting?  Just out of curiosity.  I have had FSO working on both 10.4.11 and 10.5.5, I don't even remember needing to install OpenAL, I think it was already included or something.  Not sure though.

Sorry for replying this late...
Anyway, I think too OpenAL isn't needed, but I installed it in any case, but I'm still getting the error. It exactly the topic one

Attached, the screenshot of the error message
