The pinned engine

You are reading the documentation for version 1.1.6. Go to the current version (1.2.0)

The program does not update itself. It stays on the version the setup installed until a new setup replaces it.

What that means for you

You do not have to do anything. No update prompts, no “restart to finish installing” while a service is starting.

A new version arrives with a new setup. Nothing changes between last week and this week unless somebody decided it should.

Your own OBS is unaffected and can keep updating as it likes; it is a different installation entirely.

Checking which one you have

Settings → Info → Engine. Quote that together with the program version when reporting a problem: those two together identify the combination you are running.

When it does change

Running a newer setup replaces the program but leaves the configuration folder alone, so your settings, scenes and designs survive.

A second run of the same setup is quick: there is nothing to replace.
