Question / Help OBS crashes as soon as i hit start recording

That looks like this crash in the AMD AMF encoder.

You can avoid this crash by using x264 instead of the AMD AMF encoder. If you still want to use the AMD AMF encoder:
  1. Update your AMD drivers to 18.3.4 or newer.
  2. If #1 doesn't fix the crash, try this.
  3. If #2 doesn't fix it, then you'll have to avoid using the AMD AMF encoder until the crash condition is fixed by AMD or the encoder plugin.

thanks, my AMD drivers were already up-to-date, and I had no Intel GPU drivers installed, so I resorted to using the x264 encoder, which worked. Thanks!
 
Glad that worked for you! I guess keep an eye out for AMD driver updates or AMF encoder plugin updates to see if they address that crash. If you have a GitHub account, you can subscribe to that issue by clicking its subscribe button.
