Hello all! I primarily record gaming content for Youtube and sharing with friends. I have been have been having an issue with OBS crashing during every recording though. I've tried multiple fixes online, but haven't had any luck. During every recording I do, I get an encoding error that causes my recording to stop/ The error may occur after 20 min of recording or after 2 hours, there is no predicting it. I have tried simple output, indistinguishable quality, large file size and high quality, medium file size. I have also tried advanced mode with CQP, level 18, keyframes 0, P5:Slow (good quality), tuning: high quality, multipass: two passes, look ahead and psycho visuals off (have also tried with them on), max-b frames: 2.
My specs: Ryzen 5900x
EVGA FTW 3080ti
32 gigs of ram (3600mhz cl16)
All water cooled
Games are installed on a different drive than where the recordings are being saved.
I checked the log file and found the following information:

I'm not sure if this is the error causing the crash, but I notice it shows: 17:37:57.763: error: Failed locking bitstream buffer: invalid param (8), and wanted to know if there is a solution to the error.
I have attached the full log file in case that helps resolve the issue.
