Hi All,
The issue: after installing OBS 29 & running the auto-configuration wizard, I believe OBS has somehow made it impossible to set multiple backgrounds on my dual, extended desktop displays because it has somehow caused windows to recognize both as 'Monitor 2' when they used to be discrete.
Reasoning: Issue started immediately after installing OBS 29 & running auto-config wizard/restart; no other changes to system have been made; never experienced this issue on this or any other build running previous OBS versions I've used. I scoured the internet for similar cases and the only ones I could find with the exact same issue could not be troubleshot in the context of windows because in each case the problem was diagnosed as 'another program changing a setting', but which program could not be isolated in those instances. Fortunately I know installing OBS 29 was the only variable in the context of my system.
Example of issue/troubleshooting steps already taken to no avail:
See attached image for reference of the current problem.
Full Context/Steps to Reproduce -
1. Context: My Display used to be identified by windows as 'monitor 2' and secondary display as 'monitor 1' (not sure why windows defaulted to those id's but that's how it had always been and personalization worked). Same for Nvidia Control panel.
2. Step: Installing OBS 29
3. Step: Running initial auto-config wizard - during my initial wizard config OBS asked me to select a primary display. This is where I believe it screwed it up. Specifically, OBS identified my primary display hardware incorrectly as monitor 1, and my secondary as monitor 2, basically got it backwards vs. what windows had them at (see point 1). In spite of this I chose the incorrectly labeled one because OBS gave no other choice/it technically is my primary.
4. Step: restart. Both monitors suddenly have the same background in spite of a) no direct personalization changes made by myself & b) my desktop not being duplicated across monitors.
5. Post OBS Context: In windows personalization settings, both monitors are now listed twice as monitor 2, first one having disappeared there. Changing one background automatically changes the other to the same background whenn they used to be discrete. However, in windows display settings (& Nvidia CP) it still calls my primary monitor 2 and my secondary monitor 1!
How do I un-do this-now permanent-annoyance ladies & gentlemen?
Thanks in advance for taking the time to review my issue.
