Question / Help Updated to latest version, now I can't record

[Gamer Grampz]

I was following a youtube tutorial to update some of the settings and realized I'd been using an outdated version. I came to the site and downloaded and installed the 23.1 and then finished following the tutorial. Now when I try to click record it gives an error message saying "woops, OBS has crashed!".

Because of this, I switched to the auto setup wizard thinking that the tutorial was at fault, but I'm having the same problem.

I just updated my video drivers the other day, and I had previously recorded footage just fine since updating them so I don't think that would be the problem?

I'm using windows 10, i7 processor, Radeon RX580.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have a youtube channel and I'd like to get back to recording ASAP lol.

Thanks in advance!

I went to https://github.com/obsproject/obs-amd-encoder and installed the encoder thinking it might possibly help, with no luck. As most people can probably tell I'm hopeless when it comes to this technical stuff lol

Have you tried changing your encoder to x264?

I just did and it didn't crash. I tried it with a game running and it really seemed to be affecting FPS. It also said at times that it was using between 20-45% CPU usage.

Any ideas?

For recording, use the "Software (X264, low cpu usage preset, increased file size)" option for encoder.

Thanks, I took a look and it wasn't on the right setting. I just did some testing and didn't dip below an average of 60FPS. Thanks for all the help... I appreciate you taking the time.
