Hi there, I've been trying to get obs to launch with windows, but it won't, it just won't.
first, I tried the normal method I use to start a program with windows, I set up a new task in the task scheduler, this doesn't work, I get the failed to find local/en-us.ini error, regardless of which one I use (32 or 64) I followed ALL instructions here https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/missing-locale-en-us-ini.26499/ that didn't solve anything
so I removed the task, so it didn't mess with the next way.
- just a quick note, I usually use this way of starting a program because it affords me more control over the program I want to start at launch, ie, higher priority or delay start while programs like steam start, for every other program I have ever started this way it has not been an issue
I should say that obs works fine from the .exe's when launching the program manually and has been for months AND all .exe's and shortcuts run as admin
so, after all that tried the next method, putting the 64bit shortcut (that I know works) into C:\Users\PSYKO\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.
it still won't start. I checked google and everything says that if I put it in the startup folder it should work, but it doesn't (32bit .exe doesn't either)
Again, the other programs I start-up from here have no issue starting
what is weird is that after checking the (Ctrl + Alt + Del) Task Manager "Start-Up" tab I can see it sitting there, obs64.exe, ENABLED, but it still is not starting
I've reached the end of my knowledge, hopefully, someone out there can help!
Also, maybe for the next update a little "start with windows" checkbox in the options?
