Bug Report OBS 21.1 won't start, no crash log. Regular log included.

[mitori]

OBS crashes as soon as I try to start it, latest version. Previous version worked fine. Rolled back and using 21.0.1 for now.

update your websockets plugin

how? isn't that what the obs update was supposed to do?

 

[Harold]

the websockets plugin isn't an included plugin in the main installer, it won't get updated automatically.

@Harold I have the same issue with OBS 21.1 I have only one plugin added to OBS Studio, the NDI plugin for using a 2nd computer for streaming. I had to roll back to 21.0.1. I do have an AMD Processor and did not know if that would make a difference. I can upload a log file if needed. Thanks in advance.

You need to update the NDI plugin. Different issue, same plugin author, same solution

I didn't install any additional plugins though. oh, maybe the boom.tv one? how do I know which plugin I need to update? what installed it?

@Harold I found updates (hot-fix/patches) for the 'websocket' and for NDI that both state only for 21.1 I will update and let you know here if that has worked. Thank you for the insite

@mitori You need to update the websockets plugin

how? I didn't install it separately. what app could have installed it as a part of itself?

Any that ties into OBS.

@Harold I installed the updated plugins and everything is working properly! Thank you so much!!
Also @mitori you may need to install this plugin for your OBS 21.1 to work like i got mine working. obs-websocket-4.3.3-Windows-Installer just do a Google search and you should find it, just make sure that it is the 4.3.3 version
