I think OpenAL supports the card rather than the other way around.

Jenny,

do you have any reference where did that solution come from? Because personally I don't understand why would copy of one DLL help...

So, I tried that too. Still getting the crash.

It happens more in SP than MP, but still happens once every 2 hours or so of MP time. Every 15 fucking minutes in SP.

I really hope they do something about this. It's obvious it's not isolated to a small group of people. A number of people just here with a variety of hardware are all getting it.

Come on Raven, please get this fixed.

getting the same problem over the last few days but as it's just happened about 7 times in a row, I'm pissed-off enough to mention it now.

When selecting a server from multiplayer browser, boom - back to desktop, fire up Q4 again, populate browser again, select server again - different one, boom etc etc

Its hard enough finding a populated server..

An hour and about 50 tries later and zero connections, not getting the fullbright desktop problem though so at least my retina's are still intact. Ah well I suck at the game anyway.

I wonder whether that's the reason 90% of the servers are empty

btw this:

Make a COPY of this File and RENAME it and Drop it Back in the System32 folder.... And Whalla...Quake4 works..... (well should work for most of us...lol)
c:\windows\system32\OpenAL32.dll rename to OpenAL32.d_l


didn't work for me

Yeah. I don't know about you, but OpenAL wasn't even being used for sound in my Quake 4 install. So I didn't expect it to, still tried though.

I've kept getting it. More in SP than MP still, but keeps occuring in both.

I'm about to format and only reinstall Quake 4 to test it out. I've been needing to do that anyways. :(

Still can't get online - Raven boards are just full of people whinging about this and other bugs with no help. Over 90% of servers are still empty.

That was a lot of money for 8 hours of playing in the dark again

gg Raven - I got pwned again

WTF happened to id - they used to be my heroes :icon33:
