I run Windows Vista, had no luck with running Penumbra Overture so tried Black Plague. It installed, but when I tried to run it, it said I needed openal32.dll, no mention of it on the frictional games website. Could anyone help, I would, at last, like to run a Penumbra game, if possible!

What is the OS you're using?

Try uninstalling and re-installing first - OpenAL is a sound library, and should install with the game (same as with Linux games). If that doesn't work, get it here , then uninstall and re-install the game. The .dll should have installed with Penumbra, though.

If you're using Vista x64 have a look at this forum thread.

Try the openal library installer from http://www.openal.org/
anyway.
