Hello!

When I'm using OBS it time to time freeze or slow down extremely.
It can take up to 10 seconds before something happens when I try to click something in settings or stop the stream.
Is there any software I need to install to get rid of this problem?
I'm using Windows 7 64 bit and running OBS 64 bit.

Other then that, thanks for a great program.

I'm confused specifically what you mean. OBS' GUI is taking a long time to respond? Think you could post a log file?

I'ts correct the GUI is freezing for like 10 seconds at a time, maybe its not just the GUI.
It feels like the old days when your computer run out of CPU-power.
Load on CPU/GPU/RAM is very low.
I get this "freeze" even when I'm not streaming and just clicking around in settings.
The system itself is very fresh, a new install that is only 1 week old with all the new updates.
OBS is the only program I'm running that is giving me this problem.

Hello again.

I have posted my log from a test run.
OBS freeze up and windows for a short time says that the program don't respond.

CPU load is 20%.

Do any other programs behave the same way?

If you can create a .dmp file it would be helpful. Open task manager and find obs.exe, then while OBS is frozen, right click obs.exe and choose 'create dump file' then zip/rar and upload it (eg to www.copy.com). It's important to make sure the dump happens while OBS is not responding, otherwise it won't catch whatever is freezing.
