Title: Cant run OBS-Studio from Commandline
Version: OBS-Studio 20.0.1
Environment:

Intel i7-6700
GeForce GTX 750Ti
16GB RAM
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

Intel HD Graphics 4600
8GB RAM

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Start CMD.exe
2. cd C:\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio
3. bin\32bit\obs32.exe or bin\64bit\obs64.exe

Description:

Error message popup "Failed to create audio encoder (advanced output)"
No logfile was created

Same happen if you try "C:\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio\bin\32bit\obs32.exe" from cmd
but error message is different "Failed to load locale" and "Failed to find locale/en-US.ini"

Expected result:

OBS should start

You need to start it from the correct working directory (the bin/64bit folder).

ah sorry i missed something in description also happen if you try this in cmd "C:\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio\bin\32bit\obs32.exe" but different error messages "Failed to find locale/en-US.ini" and "Failed to load locale"

Works fine here. Check your OBS install isn't missing files or 3rd party antivirus etc isn't interfering.

Antivirus is not installed
MD5 CA1D9B7202A59D289EF9D465CC32D558 OBS-Studio-20.0.1-Full-Installer.exe

Also tested UAC disabled and file permissions set similar to 0777
