Bug Report Missing network drive causes freezes

I figured this out and thought I'd share for anyone else seeing the same problem. I had a lower third that was mapped from a network drive. I happened to be remote (and so the network drive wasn't available), and every time I would do almost anything the video would freeze for about 10 seconds. It took a while to figure out that it kept trying to access the lower third and failing.

So, if you use network drives at all, and you're having trouble with OBS freezing on Windows, look to make sure all of your resources are available. It really should give up after the first time, and give an error message saying X couldn't be found and that the layer has been disabled.

I went to stream today and OBS is locking up constantly even though it can access my network drive. To my knowledge there wasn't an update but it's driving me mad! I'm glad to see someone else nailed down the source of the problem.
