Hello, as the title states, I was recording a few minutes ago and OBS crashed. Upon relaunching not only are all of my streaming, and recording settings gone, but I can only record or stream with x264.
Previously I was using the AMD h264 encoder and have been recording and streaming with 0 issues at 120fps, only now am I having this issue even at 100, 60, 30fps etc.
This is what my settings look like now: https://gyazo.com/63a51c35e4ae46eba27f5c3baf73c33a
Log file here: https://obsproject.com/logs/REd3eJmCJZ0oqX_N

Id like to say, I have quite literally changed nothing at all, no driver changes, no OBS settings changes, nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

According to your logfile:

09:52:13.841: Failed to open file 'C:/Users/Hysteria/Desktop/260543954024212.png': No such file or directory
09:52:13.841: gs_image_file_init_internal: Failed to load file 'C:/Users/Hysteria/Desktop/260543954024212.png'
09:52:13.841: [image_source: 'Image'] failed to load texture 'C:/Users/Hysteria/Desktop/260543954024212.png'


Your scene has an image in it that no longer exists.

09:52:13.854: Video Capture Device: data.GetDevice failed
09:52:13.854: Video Capture Device: Video configuration failed


You have a video capture device that either isn't configured, is misconfigured, is disconnected, or that OBS does not have permission to access.

09:52:13.541: [AMF] A critical error occured during AMF Testing.
09:52:13.541: Failed to initialize module 'enc-amf.dll'

09:52:13.778: Encoder ID 'amd_amf_h264' not found
09:52:13.778: Encoder ID 'amd_amf_h264' not found


You have what should be an AMF capable GPU, but OBS is unable to initizalize the AMF encoder. Check that your AMD drivers are the latest by manually downloading and installing the newest from their website.

09:52:10.089: OBS 23.2.1 (64-bit, windows)

Your version of OBS is significantly out of date. The latest stable version is 24.0.3.

I would install the newest from scratch and either restore your scene collections from backup or start over.

I tried your advice though none of these things, including the missing scene stuff, is any different to before the issue. And the reason im on such an old version is because for some reason when I update to the newer ones not only do I get significant instability but a number of settings I use are no longer available for some reason.
That aside, I did manage to fix the issue, I had a friend of mine, using the same version of OBS send me his amd encoder dll, I replaced mine with it, and everything is working again. BUT ive encountered a new problem, which I again tried solving by switching versions. All my files whether they be replays or recordings (streams seem fine) are saving in 1600x912 instead of the 1600x900 its configured to do in the settings. Restarting my PC and updating gpu drivers also did not fix this.
Thank you for your help
