OBS crashes when trying to use QuickSync H.264

Hello, I'm having issues with OBS. It closes itself only when using QuickSync as the encoder and pressing Start Streaming. I'm trying to lighten the CPU workload on this old low-end laptop not meant for gaming and streaming (HP ENVY m7 Notebook - Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS x86_64 - Intel i7-7500U (4) @ 3.500GHz - Intel HD Graphics 620 - NVIDIA GeForce 940MX). Anyone know why?

The errors in question are these I believe:
Unsupported feature/library load error. /build/obs-studio-CYOFBO/obs-studio-30.2.3/plugins/obs-qsv11/QSV_Encoder_Internal.cpp 160
warning: [qsv encoder: 'msdk_impl'] Unsupported configurations, parameters, or features (MFX_ERR_UNSUPPORTED)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The full logs, taken from the terminal:

Nevermind, after looking at the other similar posts, I guess this laptop has no chance. There is no way to rollback in my distro, the cmake process has tons of bugs, tons. It gives completely up at 56% when doing 'make', after installing a bunch of dependencies it needed, it has a lot of errors regarding the functions written in them, it's just too much. GG HP, worst tech company ever

UPDATE: I fixed it.
After an entire day searching about the error and personally opening the .cpp file to try and learn what the code does, out of nowhere I decided to open Pop_Shop and download OBS again, but for Flatpak instead of Ubuntu. That fixed it, the Flatpak version works flawlessly and better! My CPU usage went down from 42% to less than 5% in average. It's so wild
