What are en-US.ini Error Messages?


General en-US.ini Runtime Errors

en-US.ini file errors often occur during the startup phase of OBS Studio, but can also occur while the program is running. These types INI errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while OBS Studio is running. Here are some of the most common en-US.ini runtime errors:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files\obs-studio\data\obs-studio\locale\en-US.ini

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.


Most INI errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your en-US.ini file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with OBS Studio), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, en-US.ini file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading OBS Studio, system crash while loading or saving en-US.ini, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or malware infection. Thus, it’s critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.



How to Fix en-US.ini Errors in 3 Steps (Time to complete: ~5-15 minutes)

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your en-US.ini issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.


Step 1: Restore your PC back to the latest restore point, "snapshot", or backup image before error occurred.

To begin System Restore (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. When you see the search box, type "System Restore" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the search results, find and click System Restore.
  4. Please enter the administrator password (if applicable / prompted).
  5. Follow the steps in the System Restore Wizard to choose a relevant restore point.
  6. Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the en-US.ini error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: If recently installed OBS Studio (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling OBS Studio software.

You can uninstall OBS Studio software by following these instructions (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

  1. Hit the Windows Start button

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve en-US.ini problems. To avoid data loss, you must be sure that you have backed-up all of your important documents, pictures, software installers, and other personal data before beginning the process. If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.



Download en-US.ini Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying en-US.ini to your appropriate Windows system directory. Open Broadcaster Software typically does not release OBS Studio INI files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing en-US.ini and all other INI files for OBS Studio. An incorrectly installed INI file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
