updating to OBS 31 has locked my resolution and I can't resize it

I just about always stream at Base/Canvas resolution of 1920x1080. Over the weekend I participated in an event on another channel that wanted me to stream at 1280x720 resolution. I did this on the previous release of OBS 30.2.3.

I updated OBS to 31.0, but had not changed my profile back from the one that was set to 1280x720. Now that I've updated, all my previous scenes that were set to 1920x1080 show up cropped in the preview. OBS now seems to permanently be set to 1280x720. Changing profiles doesn't seem to make any sort of difference, the same cropped scenes are there whether it's set to 1920x1080 or 1280x720. If I go the scene that was formatted for 1280x720, I don't see any difference in the resizing when it's set to 1920x1080.

I tried rolling back to 30.2.3 but the result was the same, something seems fundamentally broken here and I don't seem to have any way to undo it.

Update: going back to 30.2.3 has shown the resolution on the preview window DOES change between a profile set to 1920x1080 and one to 1280x720, which is not happening in 31.0. The problem remains that the update to 31.0 has broken all my existing scenes by reformatting them to 1280x720 and not letting me do anything to restore them to another size.

Probably. The thing is, the update to 31.0 seems to have corrupted all my scenes and believes I should only be allowed to view the preview canvas in 1280x720 now. A refresher on what happened here:

1. Just about all of my stream scenes were formatted for 1920x1080. The one exception being another stream where for the marathon I participated in they wanted a layout set to 1280x720.
2. My last stream before I updated was for that marathon, with the canvas set to 1280x720.
3. I updated to OBS 31.0, without changing back to my default profile.
4. Upon updating, 31.0 saw that my canvas was set to 1280x720 and decided all my scenes should now be set to that, cropping a lot of things off the right and bottom side. I have tried every single option I can think of to restore the canvas size, but nothing works - there is no visible change in any scene between 1920x1080 and 1280x720.

All my scenes appear to be corrupted and now I have to waste a lot of time resizing and reformatting things to make everything look the way it used to.

Sounds like you were on a 1280x720 profile when you loaded a 1920x1080 collection for the first time since a couple patches ago when we started storing scene collection info.

Can you try this option and see if it corrects the issue:

The Reset Base Resolution option is grayed out for me, exactly as it is in the screenshot. If I switch to a 1280x720 profile the option is there, clicking it changed nothing on my scenes. Switching back to 1920x1080 it's grayed out again. Tried making a bigger resolution (2560x1440) but it also didn't resize anything.

The interesting thing that there is no visual indication in the scene collection (near its name or somewhere) that it has some "preferable" base canvas/output size.

Hmm it's possible there was a regression on this during the late stages of beta. That setting exists specifically to address this problem where we detect the intended resolution wrong or when someone doesn't want things to resize.

We'll take a look!

Ok, I waited several months before updating OBS and stupidly updated on an auto whim two days ago. Now all 30 odd of my scenes with several images in specific places on each one are F'd. Has OBS come up with an easy fix solution... or is the solution spend a couple of days recreating them? Also, if I understand the thread correctly, why are we being forced to view everything in the wrong resolution to that which we are broadcasting or recording? OBS I've loved you long time...please make it make sense ????
