Bug Report Game Crash-OBS Crash Simultaneously!

[Night Hawk]

This was a first for Open Broadcaster Software here while the Half Life 2 modb game mod addon is not any surprise at all. I typically run into the the "Out of free edicts" type error and a mod will crash for those old developer game mods.

The surprise was seeing OBS crash however following a full refresh install when a full system image backup had to be restored for other unrelated issues. The restoration went well from not seeing any corruption with the system image which was made prior to even coming across OBS when recently looking for some form of PC Gaming as well as other type of recording even for pc guides on YouTube clips. The recordings always come out in working order being a plus factor!

Along with attaching both Text and Crash Dump files for full analysis I will also quote the text here for reference.

OBS has encountered an unhandled exception and has terminated. If you are able to
reproduce this crash, please submit this crash report on the forums at
https://obsproject.com/ - include the contents of this crash log and the

This crash appears to have occured in the 'c:\program files (x86)\obs\obsapi.dll' module.

Was this just a random crash or is it repeatable?

I was making a new recording when both game and OBS crashed at the same time. This was the firs for OBS seen so far. Since this was the second install seen fresh following the system restoration it may have a fluke having seen a bad install the second time around or some other Windows related glitch is responsible.

The game mod crashing may have also been the culprit there as well. That was a demo mod some developer came up with based on the Steam/Valve driven Half Life 2 running on the 64bit Windows 7 Ultimate edition. I have also tried OBS on the 64bit Windows 10 without seeing any other issues and can't rule anything out at this point.

WIth the first try out on 7 before the restoration I saw several recordings and not one hiccup! The only option I wish OBS had however was a pause recording rather then stop for editing on the go. Otherwise it's a great little app to work with!
