OBS has been working perfectly for me since I got it over a year ago, but yesterday It came up with an error message. The error message is as follows:
"Starting output failed. Please check the log for details.
Note: If you are using the NVENC or AMD encoders, make sure your video drivers are up to date."
After seeing this, I updated my video drivers, but it still came up with the same message. Here is the error log if it helps:
