[laptev]

Hi everyone,

Im having the encoder problem when I try to start recording on obs. Here is my crash log

Thanks, laptev

 

[laptev]

I lowered the resolution, and I got it to record for 7 seconds. The screen was constantly glitchy, and probably 5 fps

Looking through your log

I just changed my encoder to software because it doesnt work w/ my nvidia graphics card, how do I make it work with it do I need like drivers, if so which ones?

 

[Dee Adesanwo]

Post your logs with the encoder change, I'd be curious to see what's happening.
