Hey guys bare with me. Up until one or two months ago, I had no problems with OBS. Been using this GPU with the program for the last two years.
The GPU is the AMD R7 265X. Under https://github.com/Xaymar/obs-studio_amf-encoder-plugin/wiki/Hardware,-GCN-and-VCE-Limits this is listed as supporting VCE1. I'm pretty sure that I have been successfully selecting and using the GPU for all this time until now.
I have installed https://github.com/Xaymar/obs-studio_amf-encoder-plugin/releases/tag/1.4.3.4
I've updated the drivers.
I've declined ReLive.
In the process of installing a past AMD driver(s) and will update on how that turns out.
Here are my logs with the two renderers:
Renderer OpenGL - neither Stream or Record function when pressed
https://gist.github.com/anonymous/a5fea2306971dc68345e83a71fda5a91
Renderer Direct3D 11 - the crash, Crashes on Stream and Record. Obviously recognising the GPU
https://gist.github.com/anonymous/14e86a6b707b44df4b2a22b876776ef4
The crash report is the uploaded file.
Also every single time I close OBS manually, before any crash, I get the 'obs32.exe has stopped working'.
The log for this:
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BEX
Application Name: obs32.exe
Application Version: 0.0.0.0
Application Timestamp: 5831e3de
Fault Module Name: VideoCaptureApi.dll_unloaded
Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0
Fault Module Timestamp: 57db01b7
Exception Offset: 1891f5e6
Exception Code: c0000005
Exception Data: 00000008
OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1
Locale ID: 5129
These screens are of AMD being selectable and the crashes.

Maybe I have selective memory and always used x264 after Studio added AMD support? Who knows. But I feel like my Recordings were truly fine before this. But now even my Recordings lag to death and look like I'm playing video on Quicktime, because of x264. They are full of stutter while labelled as 60fps. They used to have no stutter while labelled 60fps.
Example of past working streams
https://www.twitch.tv/bankea/v/63115980 watch any footage in the timeline. Note the image quality doesn't look like 720p here because of low Twitch bitrate (New Zealand internet).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FABHGWfdiU0. This one feels like it contradicts me. Did we have AMD support back in 2015? I didn't install any plugins, if so.
I'll record something with new x264 selected to share here, when I get home.
If I did always used x264, I don't understand how an Intel i3 from like 1985 could've handled the workload and produced 720p60 in the past. Which process of my PC was getting the GPU power while OBS used the Intel?
Thanks for the help and hard work!
