Question / Help Required module 'obs_module_load' not found?

[Billy Cao]

Hi.
Just some system info first:
HP Pavilion Notebook (half-year old only)
CPU: I7-6700HQ
GPU: GTX 960M with 4GB GDDR5 VRAM
RAM: DDR4 2133Mhz 8GB
Hard Disks: 128GB SSD+1TB hard drive
Windows 10 64-bit Creators update
All drivers up to date, including windows update.
No AV software except Windows Defender which cannot be manually disabled.
OBS Studio 0.19.3

I am getting some issue in recording a particular game, which I posted about in another thread. Hence I am checking the log for more info. I found that there is a couple of errors logged.
The first error I noticed is "Required module 'obs_module_load' not found". This error has been happening with a few dll files only:

1. ../../obs-plugins/64bit/libcef.dll
2. ../../obs-plugins/64bit/libEGL.dll
3. ../../obs-plugins/64bit/libGLESv2.dll

You can check the log file for more infomation.
I just wanted to know what does these errors impact my usage of OBS (e.g. not being able to record certain type of game?)
And also, if by any chance, I guess these errors have things to do with not being able to use the OpenGL renderer.
In the past (about 1 month ago) there will be an option for me to select whether to use DX11 or OpenGL renderer, but now it disappeared, only DX11 is available on the list. I so far do not have problems with DX11 but I would like to try if using OpenGL can solve my game recording issues.

The second error is CoreAudio AAC Encoder not installed or loaded. I just installed latest QuickTime which should include it according to Apple. I don't know why but I need high-quality sound encoding. Any suggestions?
I have already attached a log and my DX Diag.

Sorry, I forgot to attach the DxDiag, here it is.

These warnings have absolutely no impact on OBS, they just say that these DLLs aren't actual plugins and will not be loaded. This usually happens if the plugin requires on-load libraries and doesn't have a proxy plugin to load these from the plugin data.

Do not use OpenGL, you will break more than you intended to.

Then you don't want to try opengl. It won't solve anything for you.

You also don't have OBS running on your nvidia gpu, which is a major performance problem.

As for the game itself you posted about, EAC has not been updated to whitelist the latest version of OBS. Go pester the game developer about it.

Thanks for your detailed advice. I now understood the dll error and known that the game recording issues I faced were not caused by OBS, but the game developers. However, for the CoreAudio Encoder, I could not get it to work.
Firstly, I already mentioned that I have QuickTime 7 latest version installed, which according to the help thread u linked, should provide me with the CoreAudio Encoder. However, I was not able to use it. I then installed QucikTime and followed the instructions in the thread you provided. I installed the "Apple Application Support 64bit" and rebooted. However, when I open OBS, it still gives me the same error. Log attached.
Thanks for any future advice.

Thank you for your information. I now understand that it is EAC problem, which apparently cannot be fixed by ourselves. As for the OpenGL issue, I am just very curious about why did it go away without any alert or record in the log. I believed that my computer's OpenGL driver has some issues but I do not know how to fix them...some applications reported that OpenGL was available while few others reported not available. I am quite confused but thanks for your information about game recording issues.
As for running on Nvidia GPU, I am testing to run and record the game on iGPU, but no luck. I know that running on Nvidia GPU will increase its performance. Thanks for the reminder.

User interface access to the opengl renderer was removed on windows because far too many users were using it for no good reason and causing problems.

ohhh really? Then I shall not worry anymore. Thanks for the information!

Thanks soo much! I just solved the problem using the thread u linked! The root problem is I changed the installation path from C drive to D drive as my C drive have little space. But anyway Apple Application Support don't require so much space. Just reinstalled it and obs shows that CoreAudio Encoder is loaded! THX VRY MUCH!
