Question / Help Problem With HEVC Encoder

[Satsujin Kou]

After I updated my graphic driver to latest version this problem occur.. however it only happened when I use OBS, HEVC still working if I use Radeon ReLive. Oh and it didn't happen when I use the previous graphic driver and obviously I don't want to rollback my driver only to fix this problem. So I wonder, is this a problem with the driver or the obs? cuz I know Radeon is famous with their broken drivers
Here's the screenshot of the said problem, and a detail about my graphic card

Thanks in advance :)

#Edit: added Log File
#Edit 2: Just realized I posted in the wrong room, I use OBS Studio not OBS Classic.. Sorry

Sooo... Why won't you rollback to the previous version? What did the new version fix for you?

It's not really a fantastic fix, but there is some fix that I really appreciate..
Here's what, in the previous driver, even if I set each of my game profile to keep the aspect ratio, whenever I switch my resolution that is 16:9 and is higher than my monitor's resolution (using VSR) which is 1440p to 4:3 ratio which is 1024x768, the game still stretched to fill the screen and the only workaround was to switch the resolution to my monitor's native first then switch it again to the preferable 4:3 ratio, then it will be bordered with black borders on both side. I occasionally do this when making a comparison video in game between me and my friends, to avoid wasting (umm.. screen space?) so when I put mine and his side by side on 720p project resolution, it will only left some small blank space which we can use for text, subtitle, or whatever needed to put in there. So in this new driver, they fixed it and I don't have to put more effort by switching my resolution twice again.
Oh, and they made some change to the setting, they get rid of additional setting (like brightness, RGB, etc) that will open the classic radeon control setting when we need to adjust some setting and move them within the crimson setting which makes it more efficient now.
Also, there's this one game that I feel like getting a slightly better fps with this driver (maybe just my imagination, but meh.. that's what I feel though)

I looked at the log. It crashes when the plugin tries to "get the intra refresh mode". Perhaps the driver no longer supports this action? I think you'd get farther posting this (or linking to here) in the discussion of the HEVC Plugin.

It's okay.. Xaymar told me that it's a graphic driver bug and he already reported it to AMD so all I can do right now is to wait until they fix this and use AVC encoder in the meantime
