I've had this issue on and off for a while now, done some testing and have yet to determine the actual root cause.
TLDR: at random intervols, my stream will completely go offline. OBS will still be showing a bitrate, cpu utilization, and time (all of which continue to update), but webcam and video game completely freezes.
The only way to get the stream to a functional state is to forcibly close out of OBS Studio, and re-open it. The frequency of this is random, I've gone 8 hours streaming without incident, I've had it happen every hour, and I've had it happen every 5-10 minutes 8+ times in a row and then magically everything is fine for the remainder of the day.
This happens in both OBS and OBS Studio. I've tried without the webcam, without twitchalerts, with just game capture, etc. Sometimes the games FPS will tank a bit and I can fix it by simply restarting the game and OBS.
I don't suspect this to be an issue with just OBS/OBS Studio, I kind of expect it to be an issue with computer hardware (this has happened across multiple reformats, different GPU's, different SSD), but any direction to help with this is appreciated!
Attached a few logs, I dont know which is which for crashing, but you'll notice there are a handful of these logs from the same day (each session lasted about an hour before program would stop functioning).
