Title: Latest OpenAL Soft version 1.18.2 incompatible
Post by: Flashblade on November 17, 2017, 10:17:24 am
According to wxLauncher fso is unable to generate a flag file. By default no sound device is selected. I can let it detect OpenAL Soft and it will find it and it is selectable. My joystick isn't showing up correctly either and when I detect that it shows some windows defaults. When I try to start the game I get the message that the application couldn't be launched (0xc000007b). Click OK to close it. In YAL it doesn't work any better. This is on 3.8.0 64-Bit with and without AVX.

P.S. I extracted and renamed the dll to the fso and wxLauncher bin directory. Putting the files into System32 and SysWOW64 didn't work at all. Debug exes don't help either.

Hop on the HLP Discord Server (https://discord.gg/YNVP3WR) for a faster response (currently several people on & available there that can probably help) -- be sure to post what the solution was.

Okay the solution is to put the 32 Bit version into the bin folder of wxLauncher and the 64 Bit version into the FSO directory. Thank you for your assistance on discord!
