Question / Help Wierd Issues OBS doesn't save on close

[CloudVox]

Hello OBS users so I don't know if it's just me or if this happens to everyone but when I add a scene and I get it all set up; If I stop the stream and/or close the program, when I reopen it the scene is not there and little fixes I have done have been reverted (Changing chat size)

If someone could help me I would greatly appreciate it!

Just to clarify: Scenes are there, but text seems and otherwise different things have changed?

 

[CloudVox]

So I create a scene, I close the program, reopen, the scene is no longer there like I never created it

Go to your configuration folder.
%appdata%/OBS

Is global.ini there?
Are there any profile in the profile folder?
Do you also see a scenes.xconfig in the OBS folder?

Scenes and sources are in the scenes.xconfig file.
If those aren't missing, I don't see why it shouldn't be working.

 

[CloudVox]

Looking in the scenes.xconfig I've come to realize that the scene I created is not in there...What do I do? There seems to be an issue with saving, and scenes.xconfig not being updated.

 

[Cryxex]

Okay, so now we both know why it isn't working.
I would just suggest reporting the bug, so it can get fixed in the next update.

Is the scenes.xconfig file set to read-only?

Are you running OBS as administrator?

 

[CloudVox]

How would I go about not setting it to read-only
I just double click the OBS icon and it runs

 

[dodgepong]

Right click the scenes.xconfig file and go to Properties. Make sure the Read Only box is not checked.

 

[CloudVox]

Yes it is not checked and was not checked..

 

[dodgepong]

OK, then start OBS as administrator and see if it works.
