OBS freezes after closing game

Hi there, I hope you can help me!

Since I got a new PC, I have the following problem that is driving me crazy:

My OBS stops transmission to Twitch and freezes 95 % of the time after closing a game (e.g. Fortnite, Valheim).

The process is always the same: In my game scene (game capture mode) I quit the game and change the scene (e. g. full cam), after 3-5 seconds the transmission stops and OBS freezes. For my viewers, it looks like my internet connection is down, there is a short buffer animation, and then the stream is offline.

I have already followed all the usual tips I could find on google. Apart from streamelements, no plugin is installed. It can't be SE, as the same error happened when I didn't have SE (I switched from streamlabs to SE in the hope of fixing the error).

Anyone?

Yesterday I tried to change the scene without closing the game, it works.

So OBS "only" crashes when I close the game (Game Capture Mode). On reddit I found 3 more people who recently described the same problem, but no solution.

BTW, I can't post a crash report because no report is created despite the freeze.

Start turning HAGS off as described on the analyzer:

Analyzer | OBS

OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) is free and open source software for video recording and live streaming. Stream to Twitch, YouTube and many other providers or record your own videos with high quality H264 / AAC encoding.
obsproject.com obsproject.com

You don't need at all SE plugin unless you want the to use a custom name bot on your twitch channel, but then you may face issues in OBS due to this plugin.
Uninstall it and then remove the remaining files in %apdata%\obs-studio\ (the uninstaller don't remove this) and then uninstall OBS and reinstall it to fully remove the plugin. Yes.

Okay, I will test today without HAGs.

Regarding SE: As I said, the error cannot be triggered by SE, since the exact same error also occurred without having SE installed.

Hey there,
I am facing the exact same issue, also with a new PC... It's been a month since the last message, did you find a solution ?

I am also having the same Issue with simple games like Minecraft and some other ones like Rainbow Six and Ready or Not. I was doing a 24 Hour Stream but it crashed around 4-5 times just trying to change the game.

I have had my PC for years, but I have been upgrading it over the years, everything up to date, tried all the normal solutions and the one posted on this forum with no luck.

Any updates?
