Bug Report OBS crashes entirely upon launch.

[TheBlueCorsair]

It seems like I've been encountering a quite oddball occurrence of crashing as it hasn't been reported yet and I've been encountering it for about a week.

Starting about a week ago, my OBS randomly decided to fail to launch, resulting in a "invisible" window of OBS that isn't actually view-able or present. Attempting to view it on the Taskbar or Window view results in the following:

I've attached the log, but it doesn't seem to be any obvious issues in it. Nvidia drivers have been newly updated, and I've attempted to reinstall multiple versions of OBS Multi-platform to no success. If it helps, the previous OBS functions and runs perfectly.

Any assistance or advice is greatly appreciated, thanks all.

Still unable to find any solution to this problem. Help is appreciated.

Is it frozen completely when you start up? Maybe one of the sources (a device?) is locking up when you try to start it up.

If it is a startup issue, you can reset your settings by doing the following:
1.) Close obs if open
2.) Press windows key + R, paste in the following, and press OK: %appdata%
3.) Move the "obs-studio" out of there to back it up, or delete it if you just want to reset your settings
4.) Restart OBS multiplatform

That will reset all your configuration data. I'm guessing it's just a source that's causing the issue like I was saying, likely hardware or something

It seems it was a source issue that was causing it to crash! Renaming the original folder to obs-studio-old and having it generate a new folder resolved everything.

Thank you Jim.
