(Win10) a possible solution for missing openal32.dll
Hi

I've been trying to get this game to run all day and somehow finally got it to launch. So maybe i can save someone else some time by posting my (possible) solution:

If you are getting the error saying that "openal32.dll" is missing and the game won't launch try to go see if Steam downloaded the OpenAL installer in it's steamapps folder.

Try looking for "oalinst.exe" in
"steamapps/common/Steamworks Shared/_CommonRedist/OpenAL/2.0.7.0/" and run it to install OpenAL.

All the links and installers i found in (mostly older) topics about that error did not work. So maybe this saves someone else a little headache! :steamhappy:

I went to their support page and it took me to the OpenAL website to download the latest version and it worked for me. Hope this helps!
