Expected Behavior

OBS to autostart in background, or at all

Current Behavior

first error window "failed to find locale/en-US.ini" appears, then when clicking "OK", next error window "Failed to load locale" appears, then clicking "OK", OBS is entirely closed.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. create a task scheduler task with the settings compiled in the .xml file inside this .zip (or import that .xml file, it should work afaik? I exported it from task scheduler) OBS buffer.zip
  2. reboot PC
  3. error should appear after Windows login

Anything else we should know?

OBS expects to be started from its own working directory, this is not a bug.

@notr1ch thanks for the super quick reply! Fixed it with shell:startup, that does work for some strange reason.

sorry to reopen this, but how did you fix it with shell:startup for the task scheduler?

Ahh damn, after more research I found out my problem was that I used "C:\Program Files\obs-studio\bin\64bit\" and not C:\Program Files\obs-studio\bin\64bit\ for the startup location with task scheduler. Removing the "" let it work fine. I did it with the quotes because the default shortcut had the quotes in it.

aaah alright! Glad you figured it out. I'm using it as a "ShadowPlay" alternative, so I use "...\obs64.exe" --startreplaybuffer --disable-shutdown-check" commands. Those don't work in task scheduler afaik so that's why I had to switch to the shell:startup function. :(
