Minetest won't open

by Nipe » Post

I'm on Windows 7.
I tried downloading again but that didn't work either. (Note: It was working previously)

Here's what it said in debug.txt

Code: Select all

2020-02-01 18:29:56: ERROR[Main]: An unhandled exception occurred: Audio: Global Initialization: Device Open
2020-02-01 18:29:56: ERROR[Main]: In thread 1:

Try to install OpenAL: OpenAL 1.1 Windows Installer

If there's still an error: did the text change, or is it still the same?

You will also get this error if there is no audio device. I ran across this with an old pc that didn't have audio drivers for Win 7.

In this case please check whether sound is working at all, and install the appropriate driver directly from the manufacturer's website. Like zing269 said, this is very likely an issue with your audio device setup. Maybe the default device is unavailable or isn't usable by OpenAL. Change the default output to Front/Rear Line Out and Speakers to check whether any of those works.

If really nothing else helps, re-installing the redistributable package might help. Although I don't know if the MinGW builds use any of these libraries.
