openAL not found

[PaRaDoXoS]

Hello,
Yesterday I downloaded the Installer for the free Version of Skyline just to play around with it a little.
It successfully installed vcredist and physix, but then "failed" at openAL. I have a openal.dll in C:\Windows\System32, freshly installed (date of file), but the Skyline installer does not find it. I'm working with Win7 64-Bit.
Is there some way to trick the installer into proceeding? Or point it to the correct location? Or copy the dll to where the installer expects it?

Regards,
PaRaDoXoS

Hi PaRaDoXoS welcome you can skip this step at any time by unchecking the box and click finish

Thanks, I didn't realize that could work. Just noticed the grayed-out "next". I'll check it out later.

no problem will look into before the next version is out.

Welcome to the forum @PaRaDoXoS, sorry to hear about your issues, i am sure this will be sorted as there have been quite a few complaints through email about this as well.

Just wanted to give a quick reply.
Installation worked as described, audio (even though not found by the installer) works, too.

The crashes I experienced are already reported. Hope not too many will follow

Skyline is in beta which means you will inevitably find another crash. We do our best to work with you and fix the errors the best we can, but we are a 2 person team so time can be stretched atm with the new renderer being developed and the game mechanics being worked on.

Had the same issue.

Go to https://www.openal.org/downloads/ and download the OpanAL Core sdk.

Unzip and install. No more crashes for me.
