So i recently reinstalled hacknet, and i cannot start the game. the message i recieve is

"OpenAL not found! Need FNA.dll.config?

Unhandled Exception: System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'soft_oal.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)

I've not moved any files since install, and i'm not really sure what this could mean. (i'm not too great when it comes to errors)

I'd appreciate any help or troubleshooting!

I'm having the same issue on steam. Did you figure it out?

Sadly not. I did however contact the dev on twitter who gave me a code for the steam version (i have to say I'm immensely grateful). I've not experienced the issue since, so I unfortunately don't have an answer. Try contacting the dev perhaps?
