Is there anyway I can redownlaod the old version of OBS because I'm 98% sure its the update that has caused this, as the program is also being very slow as well.

Considering where the error is, the actual cause is in the 2% of uncertainty you have.

Also which obs update are you talking about?

This is most likely a GPU hardware issue if you haven't updated your drivers.

I do need a fix for this by tomorrow as I have an important stream then. I've tried the new OBS Studio but it won't send any picture to the stream... Is there any setting I can modify that might help?

Yup, I also had this problem after upgrading to the latest version .659b tonight. OBS-MP still works fine without throwing this error *while OBS classic was repeatedly crashing literally instantly after pressing start streaming*. I think if my GPU / driver was actually crashing, it would crash other versions of OBS running concurrently!

Edit: Reverted to .658b. An hour into streaming, crashing is fixed.

How do you revert to .658b? I have the same problem since update. I read a lot about this issue in the forum, and devs keep saying "it isn't a OBS problem". I can't believe they are actually keeping this "not a OBS problem" attitude for years

Edit: i have solve the problem.
1. Uninstall OBS
2. Install another Broadcast server
3. Stream and record without bugs

Click to expand...

Do you have an installer for this version?

https://github.com/jp9000/OBS/releases

download .658b zip, unzip the correct version (x64 or x86) over your obs folder
Keep in mind, this is a 'dirty' rollback, at some point you'll want to do a clean uninstall/reinstall, but I didn't have time before my next scheduled stream to worry about losing all my settings and it worked.

Really, I don't care if they want to pretend this isn't a problem with OBS (these optimizations don't work on some cards, retain the alternate, if slower, fallback option...), but it means that the code that isn't working on my card will probably be used in OBS-Studio and I won't be able to use future versions of OBS-studio until I buy a new graphics card (and roll dice to find out if it is stable under obs), which is frankly rude.

I've got a GTX650. and im not going to buy a new one so i can use OBS. I have done all updates. I have even installed a driver update software which scanns my computer for old driver. updated everything. and it still didn't work.

And you didn't think that maybe, just maybe, that the latest version from nvidia might be the problem?
