So i have redownloaded OBS after making a move to a new PC, i have set up all the settings that i had on my old setup, but when i go to press start recording, the program does not start recording the game at all. It just sits there and has the button as usual to start recording.

Its like its bugged out or something and not accepting when i press record.
Any help would be appreciated

You are using OpenGL as your renderer, not D3D11, you need to change that.

The line:
17:48:24.367: GPU: 4
I have never seen this in my logs, though I use an AMD card so maybe nVidia specific?

Not sure why your NVENC encoder is failing to initialize (Maybe due to render setting being OpenGL).

Can you try doing a x264 recording, if that succeeds try the NVENC encoder with the recommended settings from the below guide:
