I wonder if OBS 18 still supports "-multi" mode?
After updating to OBS 18, I had my link with target "C:\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio\bin\64bit\obs64.exe" -multi
but no response when clicked.
However, OBS 17 can launch multiple OBSes with "-multi" without problems.

Can someone help me?
Thank a lot!

Though I don't know my way around it, looking at the code for OBS, --multi isn't a known flag. However, OBS not launching when invalid flags are provided is a known issue in 18.0, and will be fixed in 18.0.1 sometime soon.

Edit: My suggestion would be to try removing the -multi flag, and just try launching multiple instances normally. Apparently that works fine.

Can you explain what you thought -multi was doing? If you were using it for launching multiple instances of OBS, no special flag is required for that. You can launch as many as you want simply by launching it again.
