Greetings.

I've been trying to play Hotline Miami 1 on Windows 10. It worked previously, but after I updated the Windows 10 version it now crashes every time on startup. The crash log reads as follows:

I've went through each of the commonly suggested steps. I've installed OpenAL 2.1.0.0, 2.0.7.0 and also copied the DLLs to the hotline miami directory. Also tried copying ct_oal.dll there.

I've also updated Windows and installed the newest SB Audigy 5/Rx drivers. Still no joy.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.
