Software Update: OBS Studio 27.2.1

Version 27.2.1 of OBS Studio has been released. Open Broadcaster Software Studio is open source and cross platform software intended for recording and streaming video from one or more sources, such as a webcam, microphone, media files and the desktop. The following improvements have been made in this release:

27.2.1 Hotfix Changes

• Fixed an issue that triggered a full system freeze for some users. Made a legendary workaround to some sort of driver/kernel bug which was triggered by the browser source (I am really proud of this)
• Improved performance of the updated Chromium build of browser source (I am also really proud of this)
• Fixed an issue where some users with certain older Windows versions would not be able to stream at a very high bitrate
• Fixed an issue where some cameras wouldn’t decode correctly on Linux
• Fixed an issue where common in-program shortcuts stopped working sometimes (such as Ctrl-F to make a source fit to screen)
• Fixed a bug on Windows 8.1 where desktop audio capture stopped working
• Fixed SRT and RIST from crashing OBS when a URL isn’t set or when disabling a Media source with a RIST URL
• Fixed a memory leak in PipeWire capture on Linux
• Fixed an issue where the resize grip would break if you dragged it all the way to the top in the filters window
• Updated AOM/SVT encoders again because there seems to be some new good changes
• Hiding OBS from capture is now logged
• Fixed an issue on macOS where FFmpeg dependency filenames were unnecessarily complex, breaking some third party plugins
• Fixed browser plugin not loading if OBS launched from certain paths on macOS
