Question / Help OBS crashing upon playing a game with latest update. Help please!

[RogueMonkeyJr.]

So this morning I updated OBS to the latest version. Every time I launch a multiplayer game of Battlefield 1, upon OBS crashing, it also crashes my game, chrome and a few other apps running. Anyone know what the problem is?

Thanks in advance,
RogueMonkeyJr.

If other applications are crashing as well, this indicates some kind of system instability. I would be quick to blame faulty RAM in this case, as the crash log looks truncated and does not contain the full information, which can indicate a RAM issue.You might be running out of available RAM completely, which is causing this.

Odd, this has never happened with previous OBS versions. I have 16gb of DDR4 RAM 2400mhz should I run memcheck?

I also see a non-standard plugin I've never heard of in this log:

C:\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio\obs-plugins\64bit\OBS_Studio_status_export_x64.dll

Any idea what that is?

 

[RogueMonkeyJr.]

No idea what that is, I don't use plugins... hmmmmm

 

[Fenrir]

I am beginning to suspect malware, if multiple applications are crashing and there is a rogue .dll file being added to OBS' directories.

Can you get me a normal log file as well?

%appdata%\obs-studio\logs

Here is the latest log

That is extremely bizarre. Can you send me the plugin file itself? I'd like to inspect it to see what it could be doing.

 

[RogueMonkeyJr.]

Which plugin file do you need?

 

[Fenrir]

C:\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio\obs-plugins\64bit\OBS_Studio_status_export_x64.dll

You might need to zip it up first to upload. This is not a normal OBS plugin, so I'm very confused where it could have come from.

 

[RogueMonkeyJr.]

When I try to upload it to the reply it says this "The uploaded file does not have an allowed extension."

 

[RogueMonkeyJr.]

Okay here it is

Thanks, might be a bit before I can sort out what this thing is doing.

In the meantime, I would recommend grabbing malwarebytes and running a scan of your PC to make sure you have no malware.

 

[RogueMonkeyJr.]

I already did ran malwarebytes to see if I had anything malicious and the scan came out clean

Thanks again for your help!
