Question / Help OBS Encoder Error..Stopped Stream

[jord56]

So

for a couple days now been getting a encoder error and according to my crash log and logs a support rep told me on discord its my GPU? which is weird because nothing seems out of the ordinary with my gpu; latest drivers, temps aren't even close to hot they don't go above 60c and usage is no where near 100%.

Obs gave me the error today and stopped my stream after 3 hours of streaming think i found the reason. The guy in discord just thinks everything is user error and thinks obs is 100% bug free...Anyways, as soon as i opened up the stats page that's when obs gave me the encoder error and stopped my stream. My game was still running and all my additional programs didn't close no overheating or reaching 100% usage...

I'm sure a dev on here will actually look into this instead of saying its the users hardware ect..I'm going to stop using discord for support they just think its user hardware and never look at maybe obs has an issue/bug...anyways, if anyone else has this issue give me some suggestions.

Use this Nvidia hotfix: https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4960

The crash is caused by the obs-streamelements plugin.

But i already have 441.87 drvier won't getting that one overwrite my latest one in my geforce experience? Also, which one should i download and install Standard Driver or DCH Driver?

 

[R1CH]

Yes, it will since 442.01 is newer than 441.87. GFE will not update you to hotfix drivers.

So how do i install 442.01? do i just download the "Windows 10 64-bit DCH Driver " and run it and that's it?....Okay will try downloading and installing this driver fix thanks for the help....think you should tell your discord devs to recommend this driver fix for people experiencing the same issue. All the devs or w.e they are on discord don't even provide solutions they just say " The log says your gpu did xxx" and we can't help you....blah blah blah.

So thanks for suggesting something useful...appreciate it
