Warning Old Version (29.1.3)
You are running an old version of OBS Studio (29.1.3). Please update to version 30.2.3 by going to Help -> Check for updates in OBS or by downloading the latest installer from the downloads page and running it.
Warning Slow Network Connection
Your gigabit-capable network card is only connecting at 100mbps. This may indicate a bad network cable or outdated router / switch which could be impacting network performance.
Info Windows 10 22H2 (OK)
You are running Windows 10 22H2, which will be supported by Microsoft until October 2025.
Info Not Admin
OBS is not running as Administrator. This can lead to OBS not being able to Game Capture certain games. If you are not running into issues, you can ignore this.
Info Encoder start error
An encoder failed to start. This could result in a bitrate stuck at 0 or OBS stuck on "Stopping Recording". Depending on your encoder, try updating your drivers. If you're using QSV, make sure your iGPU is enabled. If that still doesn't help, try switching to a different encoder in Settings -> Output.
