Hey all, I was running OBS on my Mac and unfortunately it crashed two days ago. I've been repopulating all my programs and here I am at OBS and I can't for the life of me remember what version of OBS I was running. Can anyone confirm which version of OBS runs the smoothest on High Sierra (10.13.6)?
While I await your knowledge, I will see if I can find the latest work around for capturing audio on a mac.
Much appreciated.

Sorry I cannot help. I also am looking for information as to which is the final stable release of OBS that will run on Mac OS High Sierra (10.13.6). If anyone knows where we can get this info, please chime in. Thank you.

I found something: https://www.videohelp.com/software/Open-Broadcaster-Software/old-versions.
OBS-Studio-22.0.2-Full-x86.zip2018-08-3182.2MB*
OBS-Studio-22.0.2-Full-x64.zip2018-08-3187.1MB*
OBS-Studio-22.0.2-Full-Installer-x86.exe2018-08-3163.3MB*
OBS-Studio-22.0.2-Full-Installer-x64.exe2018-08-3166.3MB*
OBS-Studio-22.0.1-Full-x86.zip2018-08-2082.2MB*
OBS-Studio-22.0.1-Full-x64.zip2018-08-2087.1MB*
So it looks to me as if the last version released before Mojave came out on Sept.24, 2018 was v. 22.0.2.

Well, looks as if there was no Mac version until v. 24… I wasn't paying attention to the fact that the files listed for v. 22 were only for Windows (best I can tell).

I think it was 28.0 that removed support for Mojave and High Sierra, as part of the change from Qt 5 to Qt 6.

The release notes for 28.0 say "Additionally, Qt 6 has dropped support for Windows 7 & 8, macOS 10.13 & 10.14, Ubuntu 18.04 and all 32-bit operating systems. As such, OBS will no longer be supported on these platforms."

I don't have a High Sierra machine handy, but I can confirm that 27.2.4 (the last 27.x release) works fine on Mojave. It's probably worth trying that on High Sierra.

(Replying to my own post, since the 10 minute edit window has expired...)

As an aside, although both of these pages related to Qt 6 do not mention Mojave being deprecated, and in fact the Qt 6.3 page specifically lists Mojave as being supported:

... I can also confirm that OBS versions later than 27.2.4 do not work on Mojave.

I've actually just tested 27.2.4 in a High Sierra virtual machine, and it seems to work fine (at least it starts up ok and the auto-configuration seems to work). So I think we can definitely say that 27.2.4 is the last supported version for both High Sierra and Mojave.

(in response to a DM, but public response in case someone else needs this in future)

You can get 27.2.4 from: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/releases/tag/27.2.4 (scroll down to the "Assets" section, and select the appropriate download for your platform, so obs-mac-27.2.4.dmg for MacOS).

In general, to find old releases, go to https://obsproject.com/download (or click the "Download" link in the top right of main project page), and click "Previous Releases".
