OBS High RAM Usage

[Zyrexal]

Hello everyone, I am a long time OBS user. Although I had no problems a few months ago, I saw that OBS uses between 3-6GB of ram this month. I reinstalled the scenes, elements, settings and OBS but the problem is not solved. What exactly could be the reason for this?

GPU: 2060
CPU: R5 3600
Ram: 16GB 3200Mhz
System Version: Windows 10
OBS Version: 29.1.2 (All versions have the same bug.)​

OBS don't use much RAM unless you abuse of the browser sources (too many).
Also, some plugins may cause this too.

Keep it simple.
Also, a log file is appreciated to further support.

1. Run OBS as Admin. Right click on the OBS shortcut, properties, advanced, check box, ok, apply, ok.
2. Browser hardware acceleration is currently disabled. Enabling acceleration is highly recommended due to the improvements to performance and significantly lower CPU usage for browser sources. This can be enabled in Settings -> Advanced.
3. Display and Game Capture Sources interfere with each other. Never put them in the same scene. Do not use Display Capture unless you need to capture Windows stuff such as desktop and taskbar.
4. Your scenes contain 4 browser sources each. Delete any that are not essential to your stream.

If your PC blue screened then most probably you have a hardware issue.
In normal usage OBS don't use much RAM, unless you have too many sources and/or filters and/or too many plugins.
