may this should have been in this thread.

when trying to play freespace 2 with the open source upgrade, i get this error..

openAL.dll missing

when installaling the open freespace a weblink came up. however you have to register to get the open AL if your a developer. Fax off details with anual turn over etc.

any idea to get this working?

Search your computer and see if any other applications have it and copy to the game's folder. See if you have it in C:/Windows/system32/

It is possible to get the openAL32.dll file easily through google. Does anyone know if it's the same thing?

http://www.openal.org/downloads.html

You should be able to get and update/install from here, but the actual download location seems to either be busy or private. :(

But yeah, install latest soundcard drivers if you havn't already.

Maybe the game wants the dll in it's own directory instead of in a Windows folder?

I remember this from a long time ago, where I had to copy the dll to another directory for it to work.
 
What i have found out that you need the openAL installer. I can download it from there site due to bad link.

However i know that 3dmark06 installed openAL at the end of the installation.

so hopfully tonight that will fix it.
