I'm not sure if this is a support request or a feature request, but maybe there's a setting I'm unaware of. I also realise that the title sounds daft, but bear with me.
My streaming platform is a laptop with an eGPU (Razer CoreX with an RTX2080 in it) and I use NVEnc encoding because software encoding tends to get really choppy after I've been streaming for a while.
However if I ever start up OBS while my laptop isn't docked, e.g. to tweak my layouts while sat on the couch, OBS will silently change my settings to software encoding as soon as it starts up. When I'm next at my desk I'll then inevitibly forget to check this setting and start streaming with the wrong settings, usually only realising once viewers start complaining about the frame rate tanking.
Is there a way to stop it doing this and leave my settings alone? It'd make more sense for OBS to check this setting and throw up a warning or error if I attempt to stream using NVEnc without an nVidia GPU present
