Obs has been crashing for three days for no reason.

[Ymmot13]

For three days now, for some reason, obs has been crashing during my live broadcasts (and beyond). I don't think I've added anything strange to my sources; I've even updated and removed some plugins to ensure they don't cause conflicts, but while I'm in the program and changing scenes, it suddenly crashes. These days, reading the logs and trying to ask for help on chatgpt, I've found myself trying too many different solutions... I'm wondering if anyone with experience can figure out the problem using the latest crash log and offer a definitive solution. Thanks.

OBS was about to close. OBS session log (from the same time and date, right before application crashed) may has additional info, and may shad a light on this mystery - why OBS was forced to close.
