I've been trying to set up obs studio to record my screen for some play-testing, but I keep getting the following error:

Failed to start recording
Starting the output failed. Please check the log for details.
NOTE: If you are using the NVENC or AMD encoders, make sure your video drivers are up to date.​

I checked my drivers, but they are all up to date. If anyone could help me solve this, that'd be greatly appreciated.

Here is the log:

i think your obs trys do use your igpu and not your "graphiccard" and intel i gpu ony do quicksync!
but for NVenc you need your "graphiccard"(nvidia).

best luck!
