What did you do to trigger this error? I just streamed for 3 hours on 340.52 drivers... on a laptop too. With OBS 635b

  1. 23:04:54: Failed to get nvenc instance
  2. 23:04:54: NVENC internal init failed
Try using x264 and see if it works. If it doesn't, then it could very well be a NVENC issue, likely corrupted drivers. Previewing using NVENC for me works just fine, so it's not OBS. If nothing else, try a clean installation of your drivers. For best results, run the installer and do the "clean install" in safe mode, so the drivers don't interfere with your new installation (which CAN happen).

If doing the safe mode instance, I believe you're using a form of Windows 8. If this is true, you need to set windows to "reboot" with safe mode enabled; hitting F8 on boot doesn't do anything in Windows 8. So look this up, do this, restart, run the installer and when it asks you to reboot DO NOT DO IT. Instead, say "restart later" and then set windows to boot as normal this time. That way, the installer will continue to run/install your drivers when you reboot into windows normally. Then you should be set. If all of this fails and x264 STILL works, please let us know.

Also, are you on Windows 8 or 8.1? More information never hurts.

ALSO, this is important, if NVENC still fails after you've tried all of the above, please try using Shadowplay. If Shadowplay works, then we'll have cut out a large number of problems it could "not" be.

Well the problem is definitely NVENC, but I can use NVENC and NVENC works on your system... so... that's odd. At least we have discovered something. Can you use intel Quicksync please? If quicksync is broken too, then it's probably your OBS having an issue using non-x264 for some weird reason. If Quicksync works, then something with NVENC is indeed off.

Try installing the latest 344.11 drivers that were released today, for some reason I am now able to use Presets I was getting "Encoder failed to initialize" error on before.
