OpenAL doesn't let me play
« on: March 19, 2015, 04:34:59 AM »
I tried download the dll of the troubleshooting part and added to the document, but didn't work.

There's everything attached. I didn't find the Error.txt but I made one by copying the errors that appeared after I closed the game. Sorry the names are in spanish, the whole OS is in spanish.

 UPDATE!

After running the windows updater, the blocky graphics where gone, but still the Open Al doesn't let me play. I deleted from the Hammerwatch document and now it goes super sloww, but now there's sound and video... After a few moments, the screen gets black.

Can't really help here. I assume it's something with the intel graphics drivers. Most issues related to graphics in this game has come from laptops carrying an intelcard and/or from people on mac.

This is also why the return policy on steam is good, if someone can't get the game to work and feel that they made a bad purchase, they can always return the product. Even gog has a similar policy I think.

I had some major issues getting a laptop with integrated intel graphics to run the game. I had to lower all graphics settings, and turn off as much fancy graphics as possible to get it playable. It seems like it's quite a bit more resource intensive than you'd expect from the pixel-y graphics. If possible, try running on a computer with a dedicated graphics card, as this fixed my problems on windows OS at least.
