OBS crashes on start up

[DannyTom]

All of a sudden this morning, As soon as I open OBS, it crashes... I see a fault in the C++ Redistributable, so would that mean thats the reason? Maybe reinstall C++? I just dont know which one to reinstall if thats the case, there are several different versions..

This looks to be a crash caused by the old OBS-VirtualCam plugin. If you no longer need it (say, the built in virtual camera is enough) you can find it in C:\Program Files\obs-studio\obs-plugins\64bit\obs-virtualoutput.dll

I ended up uninstalling the virtualcam plugin and the crashes ceased. It is weird after al lthis time, out of the blue, these crashes began.
