OBS 31.0.1 crashes on start 100% reproducible

[vangarrd]

Hi all. Ever since upgrading to OBS 31.0.1, I can't run it. It crashes on load. Starting in safe mode lets it come up, but as soon as I click on Settings, it crashes then as well.

Crash log attached. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hello! I have the same problem. When I'm configuring notifys, OBS crashes. I don't know how to fix it.

This is a known crash with websocket that will be fixed with the next OBS release. For now I would recommend installing OBS 30.2.3 again.

This looks similar to (Unicode symbols in the user path, characters not from English alphabet): https://github.com/obsproject/obs-websocket/issues/1244

but the second part:

Starting in safe mode lets it come up, but as soon as I click on Settings, it crashes then as well

Looks more like audio filter issue (especially for Global Audio device) in case you are running NVIDIA card and using Noise Suppression filter (or similar filter) for one of your sources. Was mentioned here: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/obs-crashing-after-update-to-31-0-0.182468/post-667202 but the crash log in this case should be a bit different. Can you post the crash log from the safe mode launch of OBS as well?
