FreeFX - StreamFX Fork 0.12.0b299

Can confirm that indeed.
Do not update to 30.2 until compatibility issues have been resolved.

I seem to have found an easy solution. I had the same issue on my Windows 10 system. Initial solution was just to reinstall, from the full installer, version 30.1, just to see if I could the functionality of FreeFX back. This worked.

Can confirm this too.
"Rolling back" by downloading and running the full installer of OBS 30.1.2 manages to get StreamFX back online.

This plugin saved the DAY! :D
However... since OBS version 30.2.3, FreeFX is no longer working :'( I know that downgrading OBS works, but... I hope from the bottom of my heart that this will/can be addressed for newer builds of OBS <3

Initial solution was just to reinstall, from the full installer, version 30.1, just to see if I could the functionality of FreeFX back. This worked, and I decided I would just wait to see if there were any solutions before attempting to update OBS again at some point in the future. In the meantime I did some digging, and found other users having issues, different issues related to streaming, and that apparently the problem was the in-app updater. Supposedly it removed files that were necessary for OBS. I decided to try the update again to 30.2 using the full installer, and now I have it updated and FreeFX still working. I haven't put it through it's paces to make sure that everything is 100% fine, but at first glace, all seems fine, and the FreeFX filters are there. Perhaps it's not even necessary to reinstall 30.1 first. That's just the route I took because my intention was just to roll back. Also, I never ran any uninstall routines. I simply ran the full installer and let it install in the same directory over top of itself.

I tested this with a portable OBS install. I made sure FreeFX was working before I updated, but it broke all the same when I came to OBS 30.2.3 :(

Dear EasyBoarder,

I'm pretty sure I can solve your problem. I was struggling as well, but the issue seems to stem from using the OBS update within the app to update to version 30.2.3. I can now use FreeFX in 30.2.3 thanks to trying this.
Follow these steps!

1. Install FreeFX Portable if you haven't already
2. Use the OBS 30.1 Installer to Install version 30.1
3. Open it, deny updates, and mess around make sure FreeFX works in that version
4. Now here's the tricky part, Use the OBS 30.2.3 Installer to Install version 30.2.3 (DO NOT UPDATE IT WITHIN OBS!!!)

This worked for me. I'm guessing the older version has some file(s) that allows it to function properly, and updating it through OBS might override it or delete it. Why or what that is? Sadly I could not tell you. Let me know how it goes!

Sincerely,
The Menace Sauce
