Question / Help OBS 7.2: Failed to initialize video: unspecified error

I just recently downloaded the latest build of the Multiplatform OBS and whenever I open it I get the message: "failed to initialize video: Unspecified error" and then crashes.

Can anyone help me out?
Thanks

If you go to %appdata%\obs-studio\global.ini and change Renderer= from OpenGL to Direct3D 11 does that make a difference? Seems like you're using the OpenGL renderer, perhaps the default one will work correctly.

I really need to make it show an option to copy/paste/download the log file or something when this happens.

Could you at the least give us a dxdiag log?

Here's a link to a blizzard site that shows an example of how to obtain a dxdiag log file: https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/obtaining-system-files

Just dxdiag is fine. Msinfo file isn't necessary.

When you have it, either add it as an attachment here, or give it to us via pastebin.com and give us the link.

Hi
Just installed this and get the same problem.
Error log attached.
Not sure why this says Windows Version: 6.2 Build 9200, I am using 8.1

Also how are add ins installed, or is this obvious once I get it working?

Regards

Don't think Intel GMA meets the minimum requirements to run the program. Windows 8.1 is the same as 6.2 Build 9200.
