Openal32.dll missing – Planescape Torment and any other games

When playing Planescape Torment, the remastered version, I’ve encountered the error “Openal32.dll missing”.

This error appears when I start Planescape Torment (enhanced edition) or any other game.

This is an issue related to Windows, that can happen even if you have the latest Windows 10 version, fully updated.

How to fix Openal32.dll missing for Planescape Torment or any other games?

In order to be able to start and play the game, you need to download a small executable which has 500kb.


Download from here.

The file doesn’t contain any suspicious files. I have tested on Windows 10 64 bits, fully scanned with Windows Defender and Avast Antivirus.

If you still have any doubts about the file, you can download the executable from openal.org which looks like a 100% legit website.
Just do a simple search there and you will find the file.

After you download the zip, run the executable and click next.

This should fix the issue and Planescape Torment or any game that displays this error will start as normal.

Maybe with the coming of Windows 11 which was just released at the end of 2021, these issues will not happen anymore in the future as the new OS will contain all the dll files and all the packages that are required by modern games.
