Question / Help Could not create D3D10 device and swap chain?

[Xaldex]

Everytime I try to stream or preview stream I get this error...what should I do?

This error normally comes because you are using Intel Integrated graphics, likely on a laptop. Intel graphics are notorious for not having complete Directx 10 support, which OBS needs.

I'm not sure I know where the log file is and is there any way I can fix that?

Error: Could not create D3D10 device and swap chain.  This error can happen for one of the following reasons:

1.) You're using an old or unsupported GPU (some laptop GPUs can also have this issue)
2.) You're running windows vista without the "Platform Update"
3.) I screwed something up somewhere

I don't think you can do much here. Even if you could get it running, that CPU is pretty bad for streaming.
Real time HD encoding requires high-end CPU's, dual-cores have a hard time doing that.

If you get that message every time regardless of your drivers then your intel is to blame here. This should be stated in the FAQ.
