OBS 29.1.3 Crashes After Setup Wizard on Intel Mac

[kenny.stainback]

I installed the latest OBS version 29.1.3 using the .dmg installer on MacOS Ventura 13.4 with Intel Core i7 processor. Once started I allowed access to screen recording and camera(but not to microphone or accessibility). When I clicked "Continue", OBS crashes.

I then uninstalled OBS and reinstalled using the instructions for HomeBrew. The result is still the same.

The attached MacOS Crash Report is when I attempted to run OBS under a non-administrator account. However, I have also attempted to run it with an Admin account with the same result.

Mac Mini 2018
Processor: 3.2 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7
Memory: 8 GB 2667 MHz DDR4
MacOS Version: Ventura 13.4 (22F66)

Solved by reading another forum post. I've copied the relevant solution that resolved this issue below:

The following taken from the Discord solved the problem for me, hope it helps:

in macOS ventura 13.5.2, logitech's OBS plugin is currently crashing OBS on launch. to remove it:

1. open Finder and click the Go menu
2. select "Go to Folder"
3. paste in the following:
   /Library/Application Support/obs-studio/plugins
   and press enter.
4. remove the folder for Logitech's OBS plugin. You may also need to disable the plugin in Logitech's software to prevent it from being reinstalled automatically.
5. launch OBS

I am running OBS 29.1.3 on a 2018 mac mini using i5, 8 GB, Mac OS 13.6 and is running just fine. I turn everything else off when running OBS. I don't know if this will help for anything but we seem to be running a close setup.
