HEADS UP OBS USERS ON WINDOWS: Multi part post. OBS 33 consolidated how plugins are loaded to a single folder. It's actually a good change especially in terms of security. However, in version 34, all plugins installed in non standard locations will not load anymore.

When OBS 34 eventually releases, this will make so all non updated plugins will fail to load. So far, a bunch of plugins updated their Windows installers already but there are a lot to do still. OBS gives about a year for plugin developers to update their installers or instructions.

The OBS portable version as well as Mac and Linux versions shouldn't be affected by this change. Make sure to check the OBS Forums to see if your plugins get updated. Many plugins have PRs already on GitHub to update the installers.

OBS 33 also contains a genuinely massive list of fixes for critical security vulnerabilities for the browser sources. I'd recommend updating just for that.

With many plugins not being maintained anymore, I feel quite a few people will get stuck on OBS 33 in a year when 34 releases.
