Quote:This patch is no longer applicable and SHOULD NOT BE USED!
Please use the official 1.0.2553 update for linux located:
http://support.frictionalgames.com/entry/65/
I have an update to OpenAL that I would like users to test. Use this update if you encounter crackly sound or other sound artifacts. This can be applied over Penumbra: Overture Episode 1 Demo OR Full Version. If you have the full version (you do don't you??) Please make sure you install the 1.0.679 patch.
This patch will install a
libopenal.so.1.0.0 into the Penumbra "lib" directory. This will NOT overwrite the old
libopenal.so.0.0.0. It will only update the symbolic link
libopenal.so.0 to point to the new file.
If you need to revert back to the old openal lib run this from within the Penumbra Overture install directory.
cd libs
ln -sf libopenal.so.0.0.0 libopenal.so.0
cd -
And to use the new lib again run
cd libs
ln -sf libopenal.so.1.0.0 libopenal.so.0
cd -
Please put any feedback you have about this patch to this thread.
