Bug Report Text (GDI+) not updating, or updating unreliable

[Jaspajami]

I made fresh reinstall for OBS 22.0.2 64bit just in case. Removed profiles and started from the beginning.

Only one source, Text (GDI+), that is trying to read TXT file in chatlog mode. Problem is that most of the time its not updating lines from the txt file, sometimes does every once in a while (but mostly not). But it will update as soon as i stop writing to file. So it seems that file would be reserved (even its not reserved from reading) or something else that it doesn't understand that file is updating.

Make sure the app you are using to update your txt file isn't blocking read access to the file while it is opened by that app. If the app is blocking read access, OBS cannot read it and you will see no update.

Well, at least i can read it with different apps at the same time. Also OBS is every once in awhile able to read and update. So i don't believe that is the problem

Can You please elaborate on what this means? Im having a lot of trouble with it and cant figure it out. Im getting th files from twitch alerts ( stream labels ) and using the .txt files into OBS 22.0.2 - It never updates any files on my stream even though im clearly getting new followers and subscribers?

Open the text files with Windows notepad to check if they really contain updated and expected data. If they do not contain updated data, contact the vendor of the app you use to create the text files for support.
