Bug Report [MAC] OBS seems to crash unexpectedly at the same hour every night

This is VERY weird. It seems like my OBS crashes around 10:30PM ET every night. When I relaunch it, it crashes over and over after a random amount of time between 5 seconds and 15 minutes, no matter what i do (I tried deleting the "obs-browser" folder, the whole OBS folder in Application Support and I also uninstalled/reinstalled it). I get the "Failed to find locale/en-US.ini" and the "Failed to locate locale" error messages sometimes.

But the weirdest part is that it's working by magic the next day (until around 10:30 PM). Any idea what could be causing that?
I'm using the latest version (22.0.3) with a few browser widgets from Streamlabs. I read something about "Chromium" being an issue these days? Do you know if the next update will fix this? Note: I've been able to stream for 8 hours straight a few days ago with the same settings and pluggins.

Thanks a lot! I've been streaming everyday since 10 days and I'm starting to build a nice community and i'm really bummed out by these problems... If i am to start doing this more seriously, i'd like my OBS to work flawlessly. I hope to find a solution shortly...

It crashed again tonight at exactly 22h25, like last time and then I started to relaunch after every crash happening exactly 4 minutes after the last one over and over until around 23h35, the crashes stoped by that time.

Does this happen if you are running a scene collection with no browser sources in it at 22:25?

What happens if you're not actually streaming at that time-- does OBS still crash?

I did not try to stream without a browser source... I told myself this could not be the problem since it's not affecting OBS the rest of the time. And yes, it still crashes when I'm not streaming...

I also tried to let OBS run all night after 23h40 and it was fine. I woke this morning and it was still running (with all the browser sources).

The crash log makes me think it is browser source related, connected to a timed event running in one of your browser sources-- it is the chromium thread that is crashing.

Thanks a lot! I'll look into it tonight. I'll try to stream without any browser source to see what's up... If it's the case, what are my options? Wait until they update the browser plugin?

The plugin gets updated when OBS does. If it is the plugin and you have to wait for a fix, you may want to see if there is any specific one of your sources that causes the error and perhaps work around that somehow, by using a different overlay or something.
