The BG pre-alpha was apparently unplayable. Is this the version you weren't told to download to begin with?

yes, it appears you are using the .exe incidentally leaked along with the BSG alpha mod. I recognize this error message from back when i assembled the data and tested it. Although the BSG Alpha MOD that was leaked is NOT officially supported by the development team, you should be able to to install the most recent build and openAL ( www.openal.org ) to fix this problem.

Closing as not supported. Try a recent build.
