OBS keeps crashing every time I try to open it!

[PeachySeraphim]

Hi, I need some help, I've been trying different troubleshooting options to try and get OBS to work, but nothing is working. Is there something I'm missing? I am posting my recent logs and my crash report, if anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it!

Something went wrong with your GPU driver.

Performing a clean GPU driver installation

If you're experiencing strange issues or errors that might be related to your GPU drivers, one of the easiest potential fixes is a clean driver installation. Follow the instructions below. 1. Download the latest version of Display Driver...

Ok, I performed the clean install, as instructed, yet it is still crashing, should I try uninstalling everything from OBS and reinstall it?

Still crashing on the GPU driver.
But you can give it a try uninstalling and reinstalling OBS.

In the log file it cut just when reading starting_soon.mp4 which is strange.
If this don't work, you should install a previous version of the GPU driver using the same method.

One or more of the image sources has an image that is incompatible

several of the plugins streamers use have not been updated in a very long time.
or were last updated 3 obs updates ago.

I know for a fact these plugins need an update:
reactive PNG needs to be updated.
move plugin
win capture.
audio monitor
closed captions plugin
auburn sounds plugin.
waveform visualizer
application audio capture
vb virtual audio cable drivers.
the discord audio plugin
inner pitch.
and some of the reaper plugins need an obs-specific fix.

needs maintenance:
audio input capture
slide show.
obs web browser files.
audio mixer.
window capture.
game capture,
obs video-related features.

also, there is also. the problem that most gpu manufacturers dont live in the real world.
they expect people to update to the latest model every 1-2 years...
so the GPU you got in 2021 may not even be compatible with Windows or any operating system or program.

but the reality is most people have to wait many years to get a new PC or even PC parts.
so for example my GPU was discontinued in early 2023 but was made in 2021.
and by the time I save up, my PC will be 15 years old.

I've been noticing the obs crashes since the last update though...
