Bug Report Automatic Scene Switcher - Crashes when adding Line

[OviDiuSSwe]

Hello i decided to set up my OBS Studio to day. Used Regular OBS before.

I have bin setting up my sources and scenes. And no i wanted to fix the scene switcher for when i am changing games or program so it switches scene and maybe hides my vital data that is not so good if its shown to the world like you might imagine :)

So This is what i do for it to crash.


->\Tools\Automatic Scene Switcher
Adding Program from top list. And Adding to what scene to use.
Then Clicking "+" Mark to add it to list. And Program crashes.

I have included log file for more easy problem finding. And it Produced 2 files from one crash I dont know if that is a usual thing when its about OBS.

I think this is similar thread: Crash when using Wildcards in Scene Switcher

Looks like its a bit similar at least. Thx for the link. Problem still stands tho.


[Edit]

Ok i tried some different programs in my Sources. So in stead of trying to add Arma 3 i added a different game that i wanted to be shown and switched to. Then it works fine.

But when i try Arma 3 again with or without mods. Then it just crashes OBS Studio.

What exactly are you typing into the box for the window name?

 

[OviDiuSSwe]

Well if you mean in the drop box for what program in use. then.

Dropbox 1: Arma 3 "Drive:\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\arma3.exe" -mod= Dropbox 2: Arma 3 Apex

So you're click "Tools > Automatic Scene Switcher" and typing this into the field for window name:
Arma 3 "Drive:\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\arma3.exe" -mod=

And that crashes? That's because it's not a valid C++ regular expression. The scene switcher accepts regular expressions, not Windows style patterns. You'll have to escape the backslashes to prevent them from being treated as special characters. Assuming the window name really is that crazy, use this:
Arma 3 "Drive:\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\Arma 3\\arma3\.exe" -mod=

Ok i did try this now. And well it don't crash now. But it wont change the scene in stead now. Don't know why or how. It just don't do its job now. But no crash.

My guess would be that the Window name isn't actually exactly what you entered. You could try this instead, which is more forgiving:
Arma 3.*

This fixed the problem. Now it also works with mods and scripts even. Now i know how to tackle this in future if i find similar problems with other software in my scenes.
