OBS 29.1 crashes when clicking on settings on both Fedora 37 and 38

Hello,
I had a working OBS installation that I did some testing with a couple months ago. Yesterday I opened it up again to do a little more and noticed it crashed when I clicked the settings button or also from the File -> Settings menu option. The version had updated with the rest of my system and is 29.1. This system is an AMD based system running Fedora 37. I have another system with OBS installed on it. That system was upgraded from Fedora 37 to 38 last week. It also have OBS 29.1 on it. The same behaviour happens on it where the application crashes when trying to access settings. This is an Intel based system. I have tried both Wayland and X11 gnome and OBS crashes in both desktop environments. I uninstalled and re-installed OBS on the first system via the software center, however it still crashes. I could record a video clip without it crashing. It appears to just be the settings.

Can anyone help point me in a troubleshooting direction? I'm not sure where to start. I will attach a couple of log files if that's helpful.

Thanks.

I had a similar problem after updating. Mine doesn't just crash when trying to open settings, but also when trying to un-maximize OBS window. (It started maximized). If the OBS started non-maximized, maximizing will also crash it.

obs-studio 29.0.2-2

I would say try updating to 29.1, but then you might just have a different issue causing the crashing. For what it's worth, I'm on version 29.1.0-2 (obs-studio-29.1.0-2.fc37) and my setup seems to only crash when trying to view the settings. I have been able to maximize and minimize and record video.
