Haven't read about this problem elsewhere.

So it might be a good idea to contact the support of the developer via mail:
support@revolution.co.uk

And to write to the forum of the developer:
http://forum.revolution.co.uk/
(I think they might read their own forum on a more regular basis)

From the screenshot of the error message it seems to be something connected with the sound playback (OpenAL is a kind of a sound software interface). The picture upload center you're using seems to be french, right? If you're playing the game set to french I would try to bypass this situation setting the game to english before this crash appears and back to french afterwards. Just in case there's an error that only appears with a certain order of play with the french localization or you got a faulty download of a french localization file. Just a wild guess though. But worth a try...

I read that you wrote the following at the revolution forum:

"I just reinstalled the audio drivers and same pb :(

Sound in the game is incredibly speed… and impossible to play."

What does it mean? That the voiceover is played too fast?
What's your primary/default audio device? Something unusual like a USB headphones?

"What does it mean?" Oh menu of game, this music is speed x3 like normally..

That the voiceover is played too fast? " I dont know, game crash after 5s

What's your primary/default audio device? It's a realteak HD Audio Alc 892 integrated chipset desactivated on bios.

My headphone is Sennheiser Pc 360 3.5 jack

Ok - the headphones are simple headphones (not ones that works as an audio device at itself).

If the realtek HD Audio is deactivated in the BIOS which audio device/sound card are you using?
󠁳Bakhtosh Apr 22, 2014 @ 11:15am 
And you have installed the latest drivers from here:Link[www.asus.com]
?

From your video it seems to be more like a music loop or stuttering music.
If you google for "Asus Xonar stuttering" you find a lot of people having problems with this sound card. If the most current audio driver for the card doesn't work maybe you should disable it in the hardware manager, activate the onboard Realtek audio in BIOS, install its driver and play the game with the onboard audio.

Yes, i have installed this latest driver dude.

It's only on this game, all game works full perfect

I believe you. But on the other side it looks like you're the only one with this specific error message so far. And I guessed (and the developer Revolution already confirmed it) that it's an audio issue. And since you're using a rare sound card (using a sound card instead of onboard sound is already rare these days) this seems to be the most probable cause. Not that you sound card is defective. Just that it's drivers (or some driver settings) and Broken Sword 5 are somewhat incompatible.

The easiest way to find out if this assumption is true is to disable your Asus Xonar sound card and use the Realtek onboard soundchip.

You don't need to plug your sound card out. It's enough to disable it in the Windows hardware manager. Then enable the onboard Realtek sound in the BIOS and install it's drivers. You can find the most current Realtek drivers here: http://www.realtek.com/downloads/
(choose "High Definition Audio Codecs (Software)", accept the following terms & click on Next, download and afterwards install the Realtek drivers matching your Windows)
If Broken Sword 5 works with the onboard Realtek sound you'll know at least what the cause is and can then decide if you can live with onboard sound until you've finished the game.
