Make sure the plugins are updated and work with OBS 30+
Make sure OBS works as intended without any plugins.

Some times the GPU driver got a bad installation (update) and you need to reinstall it. You can use the installer proper installation method or use the alternative way which completelly remove the driver:

Then run the OBS Auto-configuration Wizard and apply the settings it gives. Do NOT change anything.
Restart OBS (!important)
Test it as is. If all goes well, you're done.
Now you can change the quality presets for recording for a better quality and test.

IM going to try to role back a Driver and see if that fixes it
But this doesn't FIX it
this is something else...

Aparently it's the GPU driver:

HOW TO FIX: NVENC Error: get_encoded_packet: nv.nvEncLockBitstream(s, &lock) failed: 8 INV_ENG_ERR_INVALID_PARAM)”

The problem is with the GPU driver. Don't install the latest/released on 2/22/24. And the solution is to install the old version of the driver. I found a tutorial on YouTube to install the old version of the driver: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XJ4j_4MeHQ
