What type of video card do you have specifically? And what is the exact error message appearing?

 

[luke moore]

Card: Intel(R) HD Graphics (Core i3)

What model of i3 CPU are you using? The error message means that the iGPU you're using doesn't support DirectX 10.1; doesn't matter if you have it installed or not if the hardware lacks support for it.

 

[luke moore]

the display mode?
here is everything im looking at

 

[Sapiens]

Sorry, I'm not sure what you're trying to ask.

"What model of i3 CPU are you using?"

 

[Sapiens]

You said you had a Core i3 CPU. I'm asking for the CPU model, so I can look up its specifications.

Yep, your iGPU doesn't fully support the hardware DX10 spec.
Microsoft kind of messed up by both naming a hardware instruction set, AND a software package the same thing. OBS needs a GPU with the full HARDWARE DX10 instruction set, not just the DirectX software package.

 

[luke moore]

wait a minute... so is obs fully broken?

OBS isn't broken at all, your hardware is too old.

 

[luke moore]

well this sucks. xsplit is broken, overwolf wont work and neither this.

No. Your computer is too old or low-end. It isn't the software being broken, it's your machine.
It's like sticking a PS4 disc in a PS1. It won't just run the game slower, it *can't* run the game.
The old (or low-end) hardware doesn't have the current-day capabilities and instruction set needed to run the software.
