Context:

I had an issue recently with frame drops in games while I was streaming for no apparent reason. CPU didn't go to 100% but I noticed the log files recoding 65-75 Memory Leaks (check attacked log). So, I cleared all my sources and scenes, uninstalled and reinstalled OBS and checked the log of just booting it up. And I got the above.

Any ideas how to fix this?

What third party plugins are in use?

You can see from the log that SceneSwitcher.dll is loaded.

@Niphrentil
Is your Advanced Scene Switcher plugin up-to-date?

That's probably from the browser source, the plugin is still loaded if there are no sources. But those memory leaks are very minor and will not cause any issues.

@Suslik V Only plugin I was using was the built in Scene Switcher.

@RytoEX Didn't know you can update the built in plugins, guess since I redownloaded and reinstalled OBS, the plugin was up to date. Still, even when I deactivate it, I still get Memory Leaks.

@Osiris I added a Game Capture, Media and Browser source just to test and the Leaks jumped up to 15.

@Niphrentil
I want to clarify that "SceneSwitcher.dll" is not the "built in Scene Switcher". The "Automatic Scene Switcher" built-in to OBS releases by default is part of "frontend-tools.dll". The "SceneSwitcher.dll" you have loaded is for the "Advanced Scene Switcher", which is not updated when you update OBS. You must update third-party plugins manually.

@Osiris
I suspected that at least some of the leaks were from Browser Source, but 75 seemed high, so I thought they might be using an older version of Advanced Scene Switcher. You were right to point out the browser source leaks though, and I should have pointed it out in my initial reply.

@RytoEX I have disabled it anyway, still getting Memory Leaks.

 

[Osiris]

You can just ignore those memory leaks, they are really small.

Please post new log-file. Make new Scene Collection and post new log-file. There should be single leak from browser source.

Someone explain please, I'm losing my mind here....!

First, find the file:

SceneSwitcher.dll

and remove it manually from the obs folder ("obs-plugins\64bit" folder).
