Title: OpenAL32.dll misbehaving
Post by: Krelus on March 02, 2009, 09:34:50 pm: Recently I suffered a nasty virus attack and had to wipe my hard drive (I saved all my missions and mod data, thank god.) However, after reinstalling FSOpen I got the infamous "can't find OpenAL32.dll" error. I downloaded it, and now it says "The procedure entry point alcGetString could not be located in the dynamic link library OpenAL32.dll."

I remember having this problem last time, I just can't remember how I fixed it. For the sake of expediency, anyone know what's going on?

EDIT: Nevermind, downloaded a bad DLL. Problem solved. By the way, I'm an idiot in case anyone was wondering :doubt:

If you didn't, I highly suggest removing whatever dll you downloaded and getting the OpenAL Installer for Windows (http://connect.creativelabs.com/openal/Downloads/Forms/AllItems.aspx) found on that page. Also someone can mod this solved.

Install Diaspora. :p

Yeah, I'm joking but if you planned to do it anyway it would solve the issue for you. If not, I can't really recommend a 1.3GB download for a file only a few MB in size (if that!).
