#NVIDIA Broadcast Error
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
Where did you obtain the installer? (I'd start with the one inside NVIDIA App)
I downloaded the Nvidia app installer here, "https://www.nvidia.com/de-de/software/nvidia-app/" advised by an NVIDIA support representative.
@tame tulip Do you mean where I installed the software, or how should I understand this? I look forward to your reply.
Hmm, this is definitely strange, if the installer was started from within NVIDIA App
What can I do to solve the problem? Do you have a solution?
How much free space do you have on your primary storage drive?
Is this the first time you've attempted to install Broadcast (in other words, you never used it before?)
This is correct.
I'd probably try using DDU and see what happens after the graphics drivers reinstall and you install Broadcast again
If you have any issues with your graphics card after updating the Nvidia drivers, please perform the following:
- Remove the existing Nvidia driver by running Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) here: (AutoDDU can be told to use a custom driver link, or you can use the manual version located here.). For a utility to automate DDU as much as possible follow this guide.
- You can download drivers from the official site below. (You will need to specify your GPU and operating system.) On a laptop, both iGPU and dGPU drivers should be installed for full functionality and performance.
- Ensure that your WiFi/Ethernet/Internet is turned off or disconnected before installation of the driver (Running the .exe file) to prevent Windows Update from overriding the driver installation.
- Disconnect all other monitors (except one main monitor) and all unnecessary USB devices before driver installation to prevent device conflicts or black screens.
- During driver installation, please select the Custom option when prompted and ensure that Peform a clean installation is checked/ticked before proceeding with the installation.
- Please restart your computer after the driver installation is completed.
I did that too, I even completely reset my PC and it didn't help. Let's hope we can get this sorted out.
How did you reset the PC?
Complete hard reset, everything is gone, I had to reinstall everything.
Using what method?
- the "Reset this PC" feature
- from booting an external install disk/USB
I went into the Windows settings system restore and then reset
...that's basically the worst possible way since it didn't even reset the PC
system restore only restores some changed bits
You can download the latest Windows 11 install from Microsoft here:
https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11
You can download the latest Windows 10 install from Microsoft here:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
Please make a backup of your files before reinstalling Windows as reinstalling Windows will wipe all existing programs and files on your computer.
If you are intending to reinstall Windows or reset your PC, do not use the “Reset This PC” option. Instead, please use the Media Creation Tool for Windows 10 or 11 to create a USB install to wipe the disk and reinstall Windows. Alternatively, you can use the recovery drive/factory image to restore your PC to the original manufacturer state if you are using a prebuild PC.
If Windows is not working properly especially after a Windows update or a Windows feature upgrade (such as from 23H2 to 24H2), you can do the following:
- Use the “Fix Problems using Windows Update”. Open the settings app > System > Recovery > Fix Problems using Windows Update
- Use the Media Creation Tool for Windows 10 or 11 and perform an in-place upgrade. Boot up the Windows Installation on your USB and press “Upgrade:Install Windows and keep files, settings and applications.”
- Roll back to a previous Windows upgrade: Open the settings app > System > Recovery > Previous Version of Windows.
- Uninstall problematic Windows Update: Open the settings app > System > Windows Update > Update History (Take note of the recent update installed) > Uninstall Updates
what have I done what do I do next?
Reinstall Windows correctly
I have made
No you didn't
What should I do if I have reinstalled Windows?
Did you went though with the Windows setup and use the USB to reinstall?
Yes, I have also activated it in the BIOS so that it can boot. I can now see my desktop. What do I do now?
Try to install the drivers and broadcast again
okay I'll do it tomorrow okay
I did that, but the message still appears. Now I can select the camera, but I can't adjust any settings because everything is green.
Does the Windows camera app work?
The camera is not displayed in the Windows settings.
Does the camera work correctly in Discord?
In discord it's exactly the same, I can select it but everything is green
Would an older version of Broadcast work correctly?
(assuming you still have the file, if you did)
Either way it seems like I haven't asked what driver you have
graphics driver (looks like e.g. 576.52)
Where can I find the version of the graphics driver?
show me your Task Manager > performance > your gpu
if you can't see the version number, drag the right side of the window and increase its width
version is 32.0.15.7652
Hmm
Can you try this?
Uninstall the current version of Broadcast, and install the old version here https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/design-visualization/software/broadcast-app/
If the old version works, but the new doesn't, file a bug report
The old version worked, but why doesn't it download the latest one?
It should not.
Assuming that it is not broken on the latest graphics driver and old Broadcast, but is broken on new Broadcast, file a bug report. Suspected incompatibility
I have now downloaded an update from Nvidia Broadcast and this error occurs again
yep. you can stop troubleshooting now. file a bug report and continue using the old version. the new version is broken on your system.
How do I send a bug report?
Okay wait a second
I have done that, but I cannot find the folder containing the logs. Where could they be?
Hey, it's me again. I ran the .bat file and then a log should have been generated under the storage path displayed on the website, but the path does not exist. What can I do?
