OBS crashing during stream (random, sometimes after hours)

[Pilomilo]

OBS crashes randomly while streaming
From what I’ve read, this looks like an out-of-RAM or out-of-VRAM issue
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700
- GPU: AMD RX 6600 (8 GB VRAM)
- RAM: 16 GB
Any help on how to resolve this would be appreciated

Yeah, out of RAM/VRAM. OBS was unable to get some memory for new frame loaded from the capture device (video camera or whatever it was). Sometimes VRAM and RAM leakages (for example: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/pull/11052 ) can be fixed in the OBS patches, but in some cases the device driver is the cause, thus the OS update or more stable video driver required (depending on where the problem is). If this is not "leakage" (constantly increasing memory consumption without a reasonable cause), then probably you are running too many other programs - maybe it is time to reduce load on you PC. Anyway, consider to monitor memory consumption during the event with the Task Manager.
