"Could Not Find Locale.ini Path" Issue

[XeTrain]

Was wondering if someone could help me with a problem ive been having

Every time I try to open settings I get an error "Could not find locale.ini path" in which OBS then crashes

I've tracked the issue down to it being something to do with my Scenes folder, as if I remove it, the issue goes away - but I can't actually figure out which file it is within there thats causing the problem

I've tried to follow some guides online but nothing is fixing the issue - I even tried to do a 100% fresh reinstall but that didn't fix anything either. What is going on?

Please post a log with your issue! Here's how...

OBS Studio creates a log file each time you run it which contains very useful diagnostic information. Without a log file, it's much harder for any support volunteers to figure out problems and your post may be ignored. To upload a log file, go to the Help menu > Log Files > Upload Last Log...

Hmm, strange. I see few errors.

Probably, OBS crashed. Is there crash report?

20:21:16.363: [Safe Mode] Unclean shutdown detected!
20:21:18.403: [Safe Mode] User elected to launch normally.

OBS uses new encoder implementation, so try to set new encoder in OBS Settings > Output:

20:21:19.022: Encoder ID 'obs_nvenc_h264_tex' not found

Something wrong with the VST plugin. This plugin is not supported in OBS. OBS expects single buffer operation (audio data replaced by the plugin), while this plugin provides many buffers - that better suits for editing, not the real-time processing.

20:21:19.060: User selected new VST plugin: 'C:/Program Files/Common Files/VST2/FL Studio VSTi.dll'
...
20:21:21.640: VST Plug-in can't support replacing. 'C:/Program Files/Common Files/VST2/FL Studio VSTi.dll'

OBS file missing. You may try to check integrity of the files, main menu Help > Check File Integrity and depending on results - re-install OBS. Of course, read this post to the end before making any changes.

20:21:21.921: Failed to open file '../../data/obs-studio/images/overflow.png': No such file or directory

But I don't think that this may cause the "Could not find locale.ini path" error. On this forum you may find info that this error connected to the current folder (path) settings. Either Desktop shortcut damaged (make new one from the File Explorer right-click menu over the "obs64.exe") or you have run OBS from the cmdline (or from the script) and did not changed the working dir (should point to the "obs64.exe" folder).
