[abhicoder]

OBS is not working on Windows 8.1 x64, gives me error - "This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."

where can i get a windows 8.1 compatible version. im currently using 28.1.2

Give the OBS v26.1.1 a try (scroll few pages back in time) and something like the v27 may also run OK on your PC:

Edit: there, look for the "assets" spoiler.

Newer OBS require much newer OS.
