When I attempt to open OBS it fails to open at all and I get two errors:

Failed to open user.ini: -1

Failed to initialize global config


Please if anyone could help me out here, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm currently using Mac Ventura 13.7.4, Dual-Core Intel Core i5.

Thank you.

I finally figured out how to fix this issue. After opening Library > Application Support > OBS Studio then dragging the global.ini and user.ini files to my desktop, it rerouted OBS to my main username and now it works!
