I got a random error on OBS, now I can't record my PS4 anymore - how do I fix this?

While capturing I suddenly get this weird error in OBS:

I don't know why this keeps happening, but it's really annoying to me because now I can't stream or record anymore.

Best Answer

the language above is dutch I dont know why but I typed it into google translate...it says you are missing a dll file which should be located in the directory shown below it. your best bet is to uninstall and reinstall the app that it is pointing to or to try to find that speciffic dll file and return it to that directory.

first suggestion I would check ,did you recently cut and paste a group of files from a capture to move them somewhere else,maybe you accidentally moved this file as well.

Why is OBS not recording my game?

If a game is set to run in full-screen mode, when you alt+tab out the game, it will stop rendering. This means that you will not see the game in OBS while it is minimized. Either make a test recording and check it to verify the capture worked properly, or move OBS to a second monitor if you have one.
