Question / Help obs crashing after i start the program

If OBS is actually crashing (displays an error message of "Woops, OBS has crashed!"), then please also include a crash log for that session (located in "%AppData%\obs-studio\crashes"). If it's not doing that, then it didn't actually crash, but did something else (froze, locked up, etc.). The distinction here is important, because they indicate different kinds of problems.
 
all those things u listed as missing is just stuff for my overlays and i actually had all those on my desktop. I recently moved all that to a folder and i wonder if thats part of the problem
 
It looks like one of your video capture device sources is failing. I would guess either the duplicate Video Capture Device for the El Gato, or some filter on your webcam.

Can you get OBS Studio 64-bit to launch? If so, remove the duplicate Video Capture Device and try the 32-bit OBS again. If that still crashes, try removing your webcam filters one at a time.

If OBS Studio 64-bit doesn't launch, you can try disconnecting your webcam and El Gato temporarily to see if OBS will launch then. Then you can remove the duplicate source or filters and try again with them connected.

If none of those work, you can backup and then remove your OBS Studio settings folder at "%AppData%\obs-studio" ("C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\obs-studio").
 
also when i first open obs it crashes right away and then i close it and reopen it it doesnt crash but then theres no video coming from my webcam or my game capture device
 
weird now its working i just deleted one of my new scenes i was working on which i assume that that was something you were telling me to do lol sorry for so many replies will keep ya updated thanks tho
 
update i deleted that whole scene so theres no duplicates anymore but now i have no game capture video or webcam i checked the properties portion and it says they are already in use which they arent any idea
 
Sources in OBS Studio are global across Scene Collections. If there is a source for a video capture device or webcam in another scene within the same Scene Collection, then it can remain active even while that scene is not selected and cause conflicts. When adding multiple sources that use the same video capture device, webcam, or source, you should use the "Add Existing" option when creating the source.
 
Omg r u kidding me? Lol I guess I'm kinda noob at this stuff so excited to go home and try this lol I grind so many hours trying to figure this stuff out lol... So if the source is in another scene as a diff spice then use add existing so it doesn't conflict?
