Hi there, my OBS is crashing when I alt tab out of a fullscreen application, for example, Overwatch, causing my whole computer to lock up for about 30s~. I have reduced overclocks on my cpu and gpu, reinstalled obs, updated gpu drivers, to no avail this bug is still around. It will also cause obs to stop streaming and display "An encoder error occurred while streaming."

Similar issue for me. OBS crashes when tabbing in and out sometimes. I don't get the any message error though - it just freezes.
What windows version do you have? I have windows 11 and I think it could be an issue with Windows 11 or Chrome - not sure yet. I have a brand new pc with great specs so, I doubt that it's a hardware issue. I hope to see some fixes soon.
