Hello guys, I am getting an error while launching NNEE(2018) game saying, "The program can't start because OpenAL32.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this program". I have tried reinstalling and re-launching but the same error arises every time. How would I fix it? Thanks in advance.

    Re-install OpenAL. OpenAL is a support library that is used for audio in games:
    OpenAL - https://www.openal.org/downloads/

    Thanks for the suggestion. But re-installing the OpenAL also didn't work for me. But I found a missing DLL file from the DLL site while I was searching google. I downloaded the file from here: https://dlldownloads.com/openal32-dll/ and replaced this file with the previous one. I didn't think it would work but to my surprise, my issue disappeared. Thanks once again.
