Patch intelligence record
OBS Studio 32.2.2
Test on a backup profile before using this OBS build for live streams or important recordings, especially if your setup depends on plugins, capture devices, audio routing, or large scene collections.
Recommendations
- Test with a backup scene collection and profile before production use.
- Check plugin, capture-device, and audio-routing behavior before a live stream or paid recording.
- Keep a rollback installer available if your setup is already stable.
Current reports mention capture-source issues in screen/window capture, audio mixer or routing issues in audio mixer UI, crash or stability problems in application stability.
This is report-backed caution guidance, not a clean safe signal.
