Same problem here: using version 28.1.2 and I get the same error message ewindels is getting.
Seems like this has been coming up at least once a day now. The log says:
or some variation of it, and the problem is:
Change that to
Why the popup window chops off the important part is beyond me.
init_encoder_h264: nv.nvEncInitializeEncoder(enc->session, &enc->params) failed: 8 (NV_ENC_ERR_INVALID_PARAM): ::NV_ENC_TWO_PASS_FULL_RESOLUTION is only supported multipass encoding on this architecture.or some variation of it, and the problem is:
Change that to
Two Passes (Full Resolution), like the complete error message says it wants.Why the popup window chops off the important part is beyond me.

This has no "multipass mode."
Is there some way I can go back to the previous version of OBS?

Different encoder. You selected x264 and he has NVENC.
As always, a log file is needed.

The log file presents no record session or it was too short. Please do a longer test.
Also, unless you need to record several audio channel for editing later you don't need advanced output, keep it on simple output mode. Run OBS as admin.
Also, b-frames need to be set at 0 and do not use psycho visual tuning (uncheck)
Adding to that, your GPU isn't NVENC supported anymore:
developer.nvidia.com
If the problem persists you may want to use OBS 27.1.2, and an older version of the GPU driver if needed, or get a newer GPU like a 1050 ti as minimum and if it's available.
And the antivirus you have isn't good at all. As far as you have good and healty behaviour on the internet you don't need it and the windows antivirus is more than enough.
