Plugins not loading in OBS 30.2.0

On pop_os 22.04, OBS 30.2.0 flatpak. I opened v30.2.0 for the first time to find all my plugins gone. My plugins folder was removed too.

However, even after adding back the folder and restarting, the log is still showing directory as missing. What else should I do? Also, is there a way to change the directory to something not as long? Thanks!

Plugin folder and file

Same issue for me. Since updating to OBS 30.2.1 and opening OBS. No plugins that were previously installed are showing. I have a flatpak installation on Zorin OS. Only think that has changed from a couple weeks ago to now was the OBS update.

To find my plugins folder to got to File>Show Settings Folder which is /home/[user]/.var/app/com.obsproject.Studio/config/obs-studio/plugin-config/. In this folder I see all of my plugin files that I have previously installed with all of the logs, exports, etc. still saved in there however, they are not showing in OBS. Please help, this is a nightmare and software engineers are really messed up.

I asked about this issue in Discord. From my understanding all the plugins need to be updated by the developers for flatpak (for every major release of OBS). My solution was to switch to the system install of OBS. You might have to copy your plugins to a new plugins directory, but otherwise, the plugins showed up and were working again.
