Question / Help OBS crashes after a certain time of being live

Roberto Fuentes · May 17, 2017

For some reason after my stream hits 1 hour mark or a bit more it'll crash. Anyone else experiencing this?

I forgot to add that it only does this when I stream while using a capture card. If I stream PC games it wont crash

That's a regular log. Crash logs are in the %APPDATA%\obs-studio\crashes folder.

You're running out of memory, perhaps one of your devices or browser sources are leaking. Use the 64 bit OBS.

Make sure to do a clean install with the Elgato driver update. Uninstall the old drivers, reboot, and reinstall. Also, recommended that you use the drivers only packages if you're only going to be using it with OBS and not in their software. https://help.elgato.com/customer/portal/articles/2405414-elgato-gaming-hardware-drivers
