Question / Help Re-installing OBS

[Grumbul]

For some reason I keep getting disconnected from Twitch by OBS.

This happens even more regularly since the last update and I'd like to re-install OBS from scratch as a first step in solving this.

Assuming I remove OBS via Control Panel, how would I go about retaining my various scenes etc? Is there a folder/file I can back up to do this?

Yes, in your %appdata%\OBS folder

Thanks Krazy.

Just re-installed fresh to v0.613b.

First time I have even noticed the Nvidia NVENC options on the Encoding page.

THAT fact led me to look into what it is and now I'm wondering if my installation is borked...

If I go to the Advanced tab I only have the normal old x264 CPU preset options and CFR, final line in that section is 'allow 61-120 FPS entry in video settings'.

Now when I was looking into the Nvidia NVENC stuff everywhere is showing me options to 'use' Quicksync or NVENC just under there as well as a drop down for NVENC presets.

NONE of that is present on my version 0.613b version (64 bit).

Is something wrong with the installation or were these options removed?

I'm not really sure what you mean, can you show a screenshot?

As here:

I have none of those NVENC and Quick Sync settings.

Those are from older versions of OBS. This is what it looks like as of .613b with NVENC selected in Encoding:

Thanks Krazy,

Thats what I figured but wanted to double check.

Still been getting a lot of disconnects recently so going to be compiling logs today. Something seems very wrong right now.
