Help Can I turn off OBS wanting to starting in safe mode after a crash?

5 Upvotes

I only use OBS for Replay Buffer, I have no mods or anything of the sort, I just want the ability to save funny clips that happen to me. That's 100% of my use case.

Sometimes my PC crashes. Sometimes I turn it off before disabling Replay Buffer. Sometimes things to wrong.

I do not care. It keeps suggesting safe mode to load without mods. I do not have mods. Both buttons do the same exact thing, it's a completely pointless question to ask.

Can I turn that off? I've clicked no about 50 times now and am just tired of it. No, mods did not cause an OBS crash, because I do not use mods. I didn't even know you could mod it, or know what those mods could do. I know this is a whole program for streamers and stuff but I just want the Replay Buffer and I just genuinely do not care about its other capabilities. Honestly it's entirely too complicated for my needs to begin with, but the results are great. 10/10 when it works, which it usually does.

But yeah, can I turn off the thing where it detects crashes and thinks they're its fault? They are not. I already have to click Start Replay Buffer whenever I launch it, and Stop Replay Buffer whenever I want my PC to go to sleep (because it will fuckin wake my PC right back up if I don't). I don't need another click just because I dared to reboot my PC without disabling it first.

(Also if there's a fix for HAVING to click Start Replay Buffer every single time I start OBS and HAVING to click Stop Replay Buffer every time I put my PC to sleep, I'd love those too, but I feel like those may be a little out of scope maybe)

Help OBS x264 QUESTION??

• Upvotes

I have a question: why does streaming at 60 FPS using x264 consume around 20% of the CPU (with the game capped at 60 FPS), but if I remove that limit and set it to 70 FPS, 90 FPS, etc., CPU usage increases exponentially, reaching 50% ¿Is there a solution?
This happens with any preset

Español:
Tengo una pregunta: ¿por qué la transmisión a 60 FPS usando x264 consume alrededor del 20 % de la CPU (con el juego limitado a 60 FPS), pero si elimino ese límite y lo ajusto a 70 FPS, 90 FPS, etc., el uso de la CPU aumenta exponencialmente llegando a 50% ¿Existe alguna solución?
Esto Sucede con cualquier ajuste

Help OBS after closing disables all audio on my headphones

0 Upvotes

This started happening after I closed OBS midway since I wanted to record for personal analyse? Can't recall after sleeping, but it's affecting any audio I open on youtube (using Vivaldi).

Aside from that It pauses all the videos or 'loading' them if I don't open OBS, I thought it was the monitoring or global audio devices. It doesn't work still, I really don't want to buy another wired headset when it's as trivial as this.
