Path of Exile Forum

Hey everyone,

I installed Path of Exile with Crossover using Crosstie, which was really simple and fast. When I start the game, it shows the Grinding Gear Games logo on the black screen but then comes up with a little box shortly after which says: "Audio/Sound Effects/MonstersSounds/Zombies/zombie_neutral_04.ogg": Unable to create a buffer: 40963. After clicking okay to the message 4 times, the game shuts down.

I've searched through Google and a few forums, and some people have had the same or similar problem but they are using Wine. I'm pretty sure Crossover uses Wine as well, but Crossover works with it so the user doesn't have to right? My problem is that I don't know whether the fixes people say to do to with Wine will work with what I'm using through Crossover? Someone said to "set openal to native in winecfg" and I'm not sure where to go to do that. I tried the regedit, but I couldn't find either of those things there.

I know this game is unsupported but I'm hoping this is just a general problem that is easy to fix. I can post screenshots of whatever you need.

Thanks so much!

JT

Crossover -> Path of Exile bottle -> Control Panel -> Wine Configurations -> Libraries -> "openal" from the drop down menu, then click "add", then click "apply". Start the game.

That did it for me, thanks!

I just added the openal override to the crosstie, so hopefully this will just work from now on.
