Infinity Combat Prototype OpenAL problems

PhantomHoover · Post by **PhantomHoover** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 1:28 pm

According to the AppDB, the Infinity Combat Prototype works perfectly. Unfortunately, when I try to run it, it freezes when it tries to load OpenAL. I've tried installing the OpenAL stuff linked to on the DB entry: no effect. Stderr shows nothing useful when running it and running it with WINEDEBUG=+openal32 shows nothing more.

More information: Wine version is 1.1.43, I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and I've tried turning off pulseaudio.

Try with openal32.dll set to native.

...How?

If you mean install the Windows version of the OpenAL DLL, I've tried that and it doesn't work. ~~~~

That's because even if you installed that, Wine still has itself set up to use the built-in Wine version of OpenAL.

To set DLLs to native (or builtin), open the libraries tab in winecfg, add openal32 and set the order to (native, builtin).

Thanks, it worked. However, it doesn't render any non-HUD stuff, and what is drawn doesn't go away until something else draws over it.

That might just be my crappy graphics card, though.
