I already tried to see if there are any errors in the console when starting it, but nothing to see there.
Looking at the game folder it seems to come with its own OpenAL libraries, so I am guessing these are somehow not working on my system?
Anyone has an idea how to overwrite those or anything else I could do to fix this?
Thanks!
Other workarounds include running the game with the Steam Linux Runtime or using the Proton version.
Running it in Proton works with audio, but I would really rather like to run the native version :cry:
Maybe you don't have OpenAL installed?
Either way, I guess a bug report to game dev might be in order.
And now that I explicitly installed the Windows version for Proton, I still only have .hdll files, but the audio works.
Maybe the demo is different from the release version, but it is a bit odd.
Anyhow, probably not worth worrying about as long as you have the game working!
