--- Comment #11 from googlemail@email-postfach.info --- This hit me today after the upgrade to Wine 8.0 on Debian 11.
Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition(s), which I had installed just some days ago, suddenly didn't start anymore.
010c:err:module:import_dll Library OpenAL32.dll (which is needed by L"C:\bg2ee\Baldur.exe") not found 010c:err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Importing dlls for L"C:\bg2ee\Baldur.exe" failed, status c0000135
Easily resolved by installing the shipped OpenAL from the game directory, but unfortunately I spent quite some time trying to find other "solutions", because at first I was under the impression something was broken either in Wine or my Debian install.
To be fair, the removal of the OpenAL32.dll wrapper library is mentioned in the release notes, but the now obsolete and rather pointless(?) DLLs remain in existing prefixes.
Wouldn't it be feasible to remove these DLLs after a checksum match for Wine-shipped openal32.dll from existing WINEPREFIXes? If the file was really missing, the above error message would at least make more sense.
