Is anyone running OBS Studio with an AMD 7840u? I'm unable to get it to work with either Windows or Fedora.

The current production (29) crashed immediately when starting a recording.

30 rc1 / rc2 will record short clips, but report "encoding overload" Anything over about 1 minute OBS will refuse to stop, crash, or blue screen the machine.

Its the same on bios 3.0.3 and the latest driver update.

Fedora 39 doesn't work, either. It errors saying no encoder, even when selected. But I primarily need it to work in Windows. I use it just about daily to record videos for work.

I've been running OBS for years on various Intel and macOS M1/M2. Never had issues like this before. I assume its video driver related.

Worked fine here on Windows 23H2 (freshly upgraded), BIOS 3.0.3, and the AMD driver from the Framework driver pack (Driver Version 22.40.80.03-230926a-396562C-Framework, AMD Windows Driver Version 31.0.14080.3001). I used OBS Studio 29.1.3, the current release version. I streamed to Facebook Live for 15 minutes.

Are you using the AMD accelerated encoder or software encoding?
