Question / Help Unable to Stream Overwatch

[JayZenith]

I am unable to stream Overwatch or Old School Runescape but can stream League of Legends (using Game Capture). This is the only issue I've noticed:

When I open OBS Studio, it tells me the MSVCR120.dll is missing, but it isn't. I made sure to update to the latest version of OBS 0.16.4 or whatever OBS told me was the latest. I have 64x64 bit processor. The file is present in my C:/Windows/System 32 and C:/Windows/SysWOW 64 and I'm 99.9% sure it isn't corrupted.

I am unsure of which log was needed so I gave one attempting to stream and one attempting to record, both were black screens. I was in Overwatch while recording/streaming. (edit: the streaming attempt one was unable to upload)

All help would be immensely appreciated.
Thanks.

Try to reinstall the Visual Studio Runtimes from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784. Uninstall OBS Studio 0.16.4, restart your computer, make sure the OBS Studio directory is gone/empty, then install OBS Studio 0.16.5, and try again.

OBS Studio directory as in the destination folder?

Alright, I tried reinstalling vcredist_arm and it said I couldn't install, I just remembered I had an AMD processor not an ARM. What do I do now? Is there a version for AMD processors out there?

 

[RytoEX]

The vcredist_arm is for ARM systems/processors. AMDs APUs should still be able to install the x86 and x64 versions, as far as I know.

I tried installing the x86 2013 and it tells me there's a newer version of 2010 Visual Restrib C++, isn't that going backwards? How do I fix this issue?

 

[RytoEX]

Odd. That's new to me. Please upload a screenshot of that message? Otherwise, I'd say restart, and right after bootup, run the installers.

 

[JayZenith]

This is exactly what it says.

 

[JayZenith]

I downloaded straight from the link you put above and the Microsoft website even said 2013.

 

[RytoEX]

That can't be the right installer. The title bar shows Visual C++ 2010 instead of 2013. Please re-download the x86 and x64 installers: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784

Save them to a folder that has nothing else in it. Make sure you go to that folder to run them. Check their file properties and make sure that their version shows 12.0.30501.0. Run those installers. If that doesn't work, provide screenshots of the file properties for the installers, because this sounds bizarre.

Thank you so much, it's working now. You're a lifesaver.

[RytoEX]

Glad it's working! I'll give you a SeemsGood. ;P

Back to issues again updating to .16. I believe I know what the issue is but I am unsure. Here is my log.

 

[JayZenith]

This issue is with recording/streaming League of Legends. Just a black screen. The download was flawless but now using it is the issue.

 

[RytoEX]

The issue you're having with LoL is a different issue than the VC++ Redistributable.

Is that the new League client, or are you having issues capturing the game itself? I don't play League, so I have to ask.

Note that if you're using the new lobby client, you can't use window or game capture for it, you have to use display capture. This is the fault of the new client, not OBS.
