I'm not sure what you mean by OpenAL. I have fixed the CTD on load. Not sure why but I just reboot my computer and it loads now.
The problem I have now is when I play the game it runs fine until the scenery reloads, then it CTDs. I haven't played it much because of this and right now I have already told my squad mates not to buy it. It reminds me of Falcon 4; great potential but full of bugs.
