Question / Help OBS crashes as soon as I click Start Streaming.

[Mistilight]

I've been using OBS to stream for a couple of months. Periodically, and more often recently, when I load OBS and click the Start Streaming button, it hard locks my entire computer. It does this several times, and then will load with no sources. Most of the time I can create new sources and start streaming again, however recently when I try to add game capture, it won't. Once I have finished with the configuration, clicking Ok does nothing.

I am including the crash log and mini dump. Thanks for any help.

This crash appears to have occured in the 'c:\program files\obs\obsapi.dll' module.

Could you please supply the logs from when this Occurred?

 

[Mistilight]

I'm looking at the log file and it doesn't have anything saved from 2014-07-02. Am I looking in the wrong place? I clicked Help- Open Log Folder. It has logs from 7/1 but not 72.

 

[R1CH]

Also please update to the latest version of OBS. Crash logs from old versions are unfortunately not useful.

 

[Mistilight]

I clicked check for updates, it said no updates available.

 

[Mistilight]

I reinstalled OBS, I'll repost with logs and minidump if it happens again. Using the latest OBS. Thanks.
