Can't change Output (Scaled) Resolution

With the latest update I don't seem to be able to change the scaled resolution to higher that 1280x720. Basically, I don't want to scale, so I'd like to be able to make the base and scaled resolution the same. I believe you used to be able to do that in the previous release.

me too.. i changed my based (canvas) resolution to 1080x1920 and I want to change the output (scaled) resolution to 1080x1920 as well but can't change the output (scaled) resolution. There is only a drop down and can't just type in the number like the based resolution.

As @Harold mentions, Facebook limits streaming (except Level up program users) to 720p. So if using simple wizard driven settings, OBS is helping you out for Facebook
But, I stream HoW to FB, and my base canvas and output is 1080p (as I record locally in 1080p), then I re-scale my output to 720p for livestreaming to FB... but yea, took me a little while of learning OBS before I settled on this setup

How did you change the output to 1080p? I am trying to do the same thing you did, but if I select facebook as the stream destination obs changes and locks the output (scaled) resolution to 720p even though I have rescale output checked and set to 720p in output - streaming.

Thanks for explaining. I had tried out OBS for Facebook live a few months back and didn't realize that had locked the scaled resolution. Problem solved!

On the OBS stream settings tab, is an option to ignore stream platform settings, which I know EXACTLY what FB requires, so I do ignore the settings, which allows output (and local recording) of 1080p. Then I re-scale stream output to 720p, with correct settings for FB

I ended up just reinstalling ym graphics driver(clean install) on geforce.
I also put it on my main screen, no idea if that does anything.
once I put the OBS app onto my main streaming screen it then gave me the options, no idea if this does anything though for anyone.
