SPLITCAM TECH SUPPORT / Cannot change splitcam virtual device name
I'm using a Windows 10 PC. Plenty of memory and processing power.
Install folder for splitcam, I set to "D:\progs\SplitCam\10" and it installed and runs without issue.
The issue arises when I go into "SplitCam Settings" and then into "Additional", and change the text "SplitCam Video Driver" to anything else, and attempt to save changes.
It then gives me this crap about "Can't change the driver name: The required registry key was not found."
Please pardon my language, but this is bullshit. I know for a fact that the SplitCam install worked just fine, because it allows me to use my webcam feeds and combine them into one feed, and has allowed me to use said feed with Discord video chat.
Solutions I have attempted:
Tried to right-click the icon, and click as run as administrator. For some weird reason, that option isn't even there. That's a first for me, but it doesn't stop me.
I then go into the folder itself where the program is installed, locate "splitcam.exe", right-click THAT, and run as administrator.
Now the program is running as admin. (It should be noted I am the admin, in the admin account on the computer).
I then try to change the text again. SAME ERROR!
So, I use regedit (registry editor), and search function to search for keys with "SplitCam Video Driver" and change the content of said keys MANUALLY to what I want.
Once done, this has caused the video feed to no longer work when forwarded to programs like discord.
I change the keys back, and it works, BUT IT IS STILL THAT TEXT.
HOW DO I CHANGE THAT WITHOUT BORKING EVERYTHING UP?!
Thank you for your time.
