So i just got a new pc and im pretty familiar with pc's and usually i can troubleshoot my way out of problems ive been looking up my same error on youtube and viewing related forums but have found no relevant fix,ive updated my drivers so theyre up to date as well as obs studio ive tried reinstalling and download obs classic and launching a 32bit version. I even tried to redownload the amd encoder thing just in case but that didnt work and all the other tutorials say switch the encoder to x264 but that isnt practical theres a reason amd has an encoder its for performance and i loose alot when using an alternative encoder like x264, But have i found no other solution but to post a thread.

Heres my log file, i press start recording then start stream and get the error starting the output failed. please check log for details so any help would be appreciated so i can start streaming again.

Code: 
12:39:09.203: [AMF] [H264]<Id: 6> <Plugin::AMD::EncoderH264::GetCommonLowLatencyInternal> Failed to retrieve value, error AMF_INVALID_ARG (code 4)

Something inside the AMF encoder is failing. Try updating your GPU drivers, or use a different encoder.

Thanks for that, I've seen the reports as well. Since we don't directly manage the plugin, and Xaymar is out for a bit, I would say in the meantime to remove the enc-amf.dll from the OBS Studio program directory and everything should work fine (except, of course, the AMF encoder will no longer be available).
