Question / Help OBS crash switching scene

Hello,

since the last update of either the game I stream (Heroes of the Storm, version 22.6.49278) or OBS Studio (I'm currently running version 17.0.0) I get this weird issue causing OBS to become unresponsive after switching scene (going from a game+webcam+etc one to another with game+other stuff).

The problem seems located in the moment the program has to load the game again in the second scene as a "Capture full screen windows (Game)" [this might not be the exact translation since I'm running it in Italian].


I've already tried the following:
  1. Verifying game data
  2. Re-installing OBS
  3. Changing codec (NVENC to x264)
  4. Checking Windows updates
  5. Reinstall video drivers

Any thoughts on how can I solve this problem?

The only work-around I've found is to switch from a scene with the game source to one not having it (i.e. from a scene with game+webcam to a scene with a browser screen and then to the desired scene with game+overlay etc).

Find attached the log.

11:02:47.350: [game-capture: 'heroes_client'] attempting to hook process: HeroesOfTheStorm_x64.exe
11:02:47.463: [game-capture: 'heroes_client'] using helper (compatibility hook)

Thanks for your help,

The problem occurs also when switching manually with clicks, so I would exclude anything ley-binding related..

Your log doesn't show a crash.
The program stops working; the scene doesn't change, whatever is visible in the preview just freezes and since no buttons works, I've to close OBS and at this point it crashes.

For me clicking doesnt freeze obs but its really annoying to alt tab every time when i want to switch scenes.
