Question / Help Starting the output failed error - Solved

[Chris R.]

When I first start OBS and start recording, everything works fine. But once I stop recording and try to start recording again, it gives me an error reading:
"Starting the output failed. Please check the log for details.

Note: If you are using the NVEC or AMD encoders, make sure your video drivers are up to date."

I have tried updating both OBS and my drivers as well as uninstalling and re-installing OBS and my drivers.

I've posted the log below. If you could advise me on what to try next, that would be amazing.

Thank you.

Hmm, curious. Something in the nvenc drivers appears to be failing. Have you tried a clean GPU driver reinstall?

I believe I did but I will follow the instructions in that wiki and see if that helps.

I tried following the instructions there but it still didn't work.

Can you get a new log showing the failure to start recording? Something very strange is going on here.

Do you have any other applications open (like a video editing application. possibly?) while you're trying to record?

And no I have tried closing any program that even might be controlling my screen. Discord, PicPick, logmein

Just an update on this, the new OBS update fixed whatever the problem was.
