The Problem

We've encountered customers that have gaming computers with the Raptr.com online gaming app that uses a PLAYS.TV.

PLAYS.TV uses a DLL that causes issues with VTube crash at start. The problem is not just with VTube - but with other graphics type programs too. This is the dialog that displays in Windows 10:

How to Confirm the Issue

When this kind of program stop occurs, the way to learn about the problem is to use the Windows 10 Event Viewer. In the Start search box, type "Event Viewer" and press enter.

2 - Click on "Application".

3 - Find the first Error in the log and double click on it.
