Lobby Issues

Post by PTTG?? »

I tried to update the lobby, but it just failed at me. So I cleared out the folder and unpacked it there from a clean install, and it can't start because it doesn't have OpenAL32.dll.

How do you forget to include a neccisary DLL?
Why do people insist on using dlls?
The only function of a dll is to not be there.
We have more than ten megabytes of hard drive space, people! We can have big EXEs!

You're not supposed to remove the prior contents, you're just supposed to unpack over them and replace. This route was selected after Windows users repeatedly demonstrated that they could not be trusted to remove only those elements which need to be replaced, if told to remove files.
