Hello everyone, as the title suggests I'm having an issue with launching OBS. i haven't been able to stream in 3-4 months due to working away from home and not having internet, recently i tried to launch OBS just to make sure everything was in order and make a few adjustments to a few scenes to make sure when i get home i can jump right back in.
With that said, when i tried to launch i was greeted with the following error "Failed to create directory C:\\users\"myname"\AppData\Roaming\obs-studio/plugin_config". followed by another error saying "failed to create required user directories". I tried launching it as admin but had the same issue.
I decided to uninstall and reinstall figuring that would fix the issue but unfortunately it did not. when uninstalling i uninstalled just the app files not the settings, scenes, etc. because i really don't want to play with the audio setting again while also remaking all my scenes. If a 100% fresh install is the only option then so be it but id like to try all other options first.
thank you for any and all help in advance!
P.S. Due to my work schedule (14 hrs a day 6 days a week.) i may not be able to respond to all tips very quick OR test the potential solutions but will ASAP. Thank you again!
