I didn't start experiencing this issue until just recently. Originally OBS would run for ~1-3 minutes and then it would crash, however, it will now almost immediately crash upon the start of the streaming session. I can post my settings and system specs if it will make a difference, as well as the crash log. It should be noted i stream using Twitch.tv
Computer Specs:
-8Gigs DDR3 RAM
-Windows 7 64-bit OS
-Intel i7-3610QM Processor ("8" cores @ 2.30 GHz)
-Nvidia GeForce GTX 660M graphics card
Network Specs:
-Average download speed: 50 MB per second
-Average upload speed: 11 MB per second
OBS Settings:
-Encoding: Using CBR, Quality balance locked at 10, max bitrate set at 5000kb/s, not using custom buffer size.
-Video: Using GTX660M, Using custom base resolution due to the fact that i am doing a game capture as opposed to monitor (set to 1920 by 1080), Downscaled to 1280 by 720, filter used is "Bicubic Sharper", FPS is set to 60. Disable Aero at startup is NOT selected.
-Advanced: Only selected option is "Use Multithreaded Optimizations", priority is set to above normal, acene buffering time is the default 400 ms, x264 CPU preset is on the standard "very fast". All other options are either the default or have not been selected.
I am using the Software Capture option as my source, using it to capture a window as opposed to a monitor. All other aspects of that setting have been untouched.
It should also be noted that when i tried to use the "preview stream" option most recently it was telling me i was using outrageous amounts of bandwidth (upwards of 7000) and upon trying to actually stream it immediately dropped a huger number of frames when i had the game window selected and then upon alt tabbing to OBS settings (which i had an eye on anyway due to using a second monitor) it jumped back up to what i can usually stream at and then crashed. The crash log is included as an attachment. When i tried to include the .dmp file however it repeatedly told me that .dmp extensions were not allowed.
