Question / Help Everytime I stream a game.

Not matter whether it's Friday the 13th:The Game, Ghost in the Shell: First Assault Online, Depth, Dark Souls 3, etc, etc. OBS Crashes like a BOSS. OBS didn't start doing this to me until about midday yesterday. Yet, when I stress test my GPU in OCCT, I can run the test at 1920X1080 with shader complexity level at max(7) and get 120fps. My card never breaches 50C. I've reinstalled my drivers as per AMD's guides and am still at a loss. I'm not exaclty sure if I have included the right logs but, they are the logs from the OBS Roaming AppData "crashes" folder.

It's pretty hard to believe with my setup that I have to also play most games that I stream in "Medium," or "Low" settings to maintain playable framerates while streaming using HVEC method as I am full AMD.I hope it's just something I'm doing wrong and is a fairly easy fix. This is my DXDiag output.

Do you have a usable OBS log?

Do you mean HEVC? Try using AVC (H.264) instead.

Yes, I did and I attached it with my post as crash logs are requested and that is one of 2 duplicate logs OBS has on my crashes that are at 2 separate times yesterday. With x.264 I have to run at 640x480 30fps, and run my games on minimum settings to not get "Encoder Overloaded" every 5 seconds because from what I'm seeing it looks to not work so well for AMD systems, which explains why I was getting poor performance when I was using x.264 before AMD Advanced Media Framework. I am fully AMD as my DXDiag shows. Up until yesterday evening, I was able to stream at 1920x1080 60 fps (and get around 45 - 60 fps) using the AMD Advanced Media Framework (I called it HVEC because that's how I had seen it referred to in other posts, sorry 'bout the confusion.)


Edit: Hold the phone Boildown. I am using H264. I was using x.264 before that. I have made appropriate changes to my post.

That's a crash log. I'm looking for a regular OBS log. The problem is that when OBS crashes it might not have written the log file successfully.

Yeah. I've done my testing and the problem seem to have cleared up on it's own somehow. I don't have any OBS logs left from the crashes because I had reinstalled OBS after fully wiping it. shrug. I guess I wait until it happens again, or it just won't.
