Good morning all, this is going to be a bit of a lengthy thread. I have been having an issue for around 9 months with OBS crashing only when I stream Escape from Tarrkov. I can stream any other game fine but as soon as I stream tarkov the stream will crash. This crash can manifest in several ways: OBS will crash on its own and my stream will end, OBS, Discord and Tarkrov will crash, Tarkov and Discord will crash, my entire PC will shut down and turn black and restart. I have also gotten a BSOD a few times with the "KERNEL MODE HEAP CORRUPTION:" error code.
Now I thought this might be hardware related but I have now tried streaming on two separate PCs. The first PC specs were: RTX 3070, Intel i7 @10700k, 32GB DDR4 3200Mhz ram. My current PC is an RTX 3090, Intel i7 @ 12700k, 32GB DDR4 4000MHz ram. Given that the exact same issues have happened on two PC (my new one being less than 5 days out of the box and completed updated) I am thinking this has to be software related.
I have tried the following fixed: updating and rolling back drivers, reinstalling my GPU (both PCs), SFC scan, DSIM scan, increasing Paging File Size, streaming without my various peripherals (webcam, gameDac, different monitor) and nothing has worked. I am really at a loss at what I should try. The ONLY fix that worked for about 1.5 months was downloading MSI Afterburner and decreasing the power level to 80%. This was on my previous PC (The one with the 3070) but after updating drivers the problem returned.
I honestly have no clue what to do, as it is only Tarkov, I don't know if OBS doesn't agree with it, but plenty of other streamers I know use OBS. I would provide crash logs but the event viewer errors are always different and not a consistent error. Any ideas at all would be super appeciateed.
