Question / Help OBS Crashed last night, and the "Start Stream" button has been broken since.

[drewlinskii]

I have no idea what happened. All i remember is that I was playing Viscera: Cleanup Detail with a couple of friends, and it was about 4.5 hours into a stream, and all of a sudden, both of my monitors went black for about 5 seconds, and then came back up. In OBS preview, it was just an all white image, nothing showing, and the stream had went down, but I was still on discord talking with my friends.

I then exited out of OBS and reloaded it, as I usually do when something goes wrong, however, this time when I hit "Start Stream" the stream didn't start. I attempted to repeat this, but had no luck, so I just went back to the Original OBS.

Even today, after restarting my PC, OBS Studio does not do anything when I hit "Start Stream"

I haven't tried uninstalling and re-installing for obvious reasons... I'm scared that ALL off my sources and scenes will be deleted, and I'd have to start all over...

Try to re-setup Studio's nvidia encoder. Or even nvidia driver. Log has errors in a part where encoder is used.

That might have been the problem. I didn't install the latest NVIDIA drivers. I do remember as soon as Studio crashed that first time, I did see the popup to download the latest Drivers, and I didn't see that before the stream or when switching games. That's unfortunate that happens lol :/
