    I keep getting an error message telling me I don't have OpenAL32.dll when I do. The message pops up around 20 times, then the game finally shows up with this:


    ___________________________________________
    ERROR in
    action number 1
    of Create Event
    for object oInit:

    Error defining an external function.
    Not really sure what this is. Pls halp D:

      The game engine is having trouble loading something from the file that your computer already tells you is missing. It's possible your DLL got corrupted. Try redownloading. ;)

        I'd like to add that you should not try to download the Openal32.dll file on its own somewhere else.
        Some people do it but it is not recommended. If redownloading the game does not work, maybe try contacting hopoo.

            Operating System?
            Not sure if RoR depends on these, but DirectX/.NET Framework installed?

              Have you extracted outside of the .zip file it comes in? And try the classic updating drivers/directX/.NET
