Crash Streaming Dead Space

[Thedisabledone]

Hey so I’ve been streaming for about a year now and never really had issues with OBS crashing until recently. I updated my graphics card drivers and OBS around the same time and ever since then things have been acting up.

Now when I stream, the OBS UI freezes up randomly and when I play something like Dead Space the encoder starts overloading like crazy. I’ve tried everything I can think of lowered the bitrate, changed presets, messed with the video output but nothing’s really fixed it.

I normally use a scene to capture my window since it gives me better quality but I also tried game capture and that didn’t help much either. The stream ends up lagging hard, sometimes with delays of almost a minute for viewers, and I’ve even had a few crashes.

At this point I’m honestly stumped and super frustrated. Posting my last three crash logs below. If anyone’s run into this or has any suggestions I’d really appreciate it.
