Crashing OpenAL Error

Bug Reports
1

I’m sure this is just another audio related issue, but here goes. Just downloaded the game yesterday, I’ve tried everything from changing settings to disabling audio (which caused a whole nother issue) I was even looking for a save state ahead of the microbe stage just to get past it and play haha. Anyway, if anyone has any ideas, let me know, thanks! Also, maybe there’s a way to set audio to off in Ogre? just a thought to get around it until a fix arrives. Pretty souped to play.

Playing Thrive 0.3.4

Thrive is running. Log output:

This sure looks like an audio error. The device list seems to indicate that maybe the old openal version in the latest thrive release isn’t working for your computer’s audio setup.

I noticed that myself, so I decided to do some troubleshooting, I have disabled my realtek audio drivers as well as uninstalling them, threw in a external usb audio device and tried again, unfortunately it has a similar outcome. Also updated my GPU, same outcome. I’m noticing it happens mainly when I try to enter in the editor. Although I did go all the way back to Thrive-0.2.4-rc2 and it worked (though it is not anywhere near the same graphics) but maybe the audio format is correct. Any ideas?

so after installing the new usb audio device, I had to start a new game, now it seems really stable! been playing for about 30 minutes with no crash

Hopefully the next release with a new version of openal works better with different sound devices.
