Hi,

I used to have OBS working well on my machine but I am now getting a crash at every startup (few seconds after it loads)

Here is the report:

Could you please give me some clues on what to do to fix or workaround the crash?

Thank you so much!
 
I am trying to find what changed on my mac that generates this crash, but so far no clue...

I understand that this is the issue:

Code: 
0   libsystem_c.dylib                   0x00007fff943282d5 wcslen + 8
1   text-freetype2.so                   0x0000000118897832 cache_glyphs + 66
2   text-freetype2.so                   0x0000000118898bab ft2_source_update + 1323
3   text-freetype2.so                   0x00000001188982dc ft2_source_create + 204
4   libobs.0.dylib                      0x00000001061f22bd obs_source_create + 461
5   libobs.0.dylib                      0x00000001061fa4a4 obs_load_sources + 180
6   obs                                 0x00000001060d27f4 OBSBasic::Load(char const*) + 596
7   obs                                 0x00000001060d47fd OBSBasic::OBSInit() + 669
8   obs                                 0x00000001060cd72f OBSApp::OBSInit() + 383
9   obs                                 0x00000001060ceab7 main + 3111
10  libdyld.dylib                       0x00007fff8fbf25c9 start + 1

Anyone can shed some light?
 
I tried to investigate more on this and it seems that OBS is crashing while loading a the "text input source"
I was effectively playing with that feature and I deleted the file that OBS was "watching" for changes.

Now I am suspecting that OBS is somehow keeping a reference to this file that doesn't exist anymore hence the crash.

Where can I find where this reference (path) is stored within OBS? I would like to delete it to fix the issue.

Thanks in advance for your help!
 
a little more effort and I could confirm my assumption using the log located under:

/Users/XXXXX/Library/Application Support/obs-studio/logs

17:54:46: convert_sampler_info: 1 <= max_anisotropy <= 16 violated, selected: 0, set: 1
17:54:46: convert_sampler_info: 1 <= max_anisotropy <= 16 violated, selected: 0, set: 1
17:54:46: Failed to open file /XXXXX

so I restored the text file and I can now start OBS again without crash!

Something to be fixed but at least not I know what going on!
 
Hey man - I'm having this same issue where it crashes immediately any time I try to open it. Used to work fine for me too. I tried to follow what you said in this thread but am a very basic-level user... any chance you can dumb it down for me so I can try the same thing to see if it helps? Thanks!
 
Hello again - So after doing a bit more digging through the forums I found a comment which helped fix my issue! Try opening up Finder, pressing Command-Shift-G, then typing in the following:

~/Library/Application Support/obs-studio/basic

Then delete the scenes.json file and try opening OBS again! I can't confirm that it won't mess with your scenes or anything (as I'd already reinstalled OBS and wiped mine), but it definitely got the application opening again. Good luck!
