I stream with an Elgato HD PRO internal capture card, and OBS really does not want to play nice with it.
I have updated its firmware and software. By itself the program runs fine. Once OBS is thrown into the mix, things become chaotic.
Log of Streaming + Recording attempt resulting in crash:

Title says it all really. This has been happening with OBS Studio consistently. Sometimes it works great, but more often than not the program crashes upon hitting Activate. When Activate does not result in a crash, it is sometimes possible that there is a strange delay between the gameplay and preview when there should not be any, and flipping activate on and off removes it to practically zero. Again, doing that step is risky, because it can also result in a crash. This only happens when viewing the Elgato through OBS.
Sometimes this causes OBS and Elgato to be stuck in my Task Manager and I have to end their processes from there. Occasionally OBS will refuse to be terminated and will give me "Access Denied" and will take up to ten minutes to remove itself.
With my rig being quite good for streaming, this makes no sense I feel like something is wrong with how OBS communicates with the Elgato drivers. This does not occur with my Avermedia capture card. I use Elgato capture cards because they are more fit to interpret analog signals given by some of my older consoles.
I have completely wiped + reinstalled drivers and programs several times to the point I am convinced this is not a fix for this specific issue.
A side issue unrelated to this one possibly: I could also mention my stream has been having Encoder Overloaded issues since the current update 0.17, resulting in massive dropped frames. I assumed it was my system being overloaded somehow, but no amount of reducing encoding settings seems to resolve the issue. Nothing appears in the logs that jumps out to me beyond the acknowledgement that frames are being dropped due to encoder lag. Possible memory leak? Usually these stutters occur after a few hours of streaming, but this was not the case prior to this update and I could stream at higher more intense settings than in those logs for 8 hours on end - no issues at all.
If anyone sees anything in these logs, or requires more information, please let me know. I'd really like to figure this out.
