Hi guys, my obs keeps popping up saying I'm running out of memory & have to close the application.
I'm running my XB1 through a Elgato HD60 Pro & I have ankhbot running on my system at same time & usually a web window open.
I'm only streaming, no recording taking place.
Log File: https://gist.github.com/8e1c95d2a644ca2b95adfb88d7292603

System Specs
I5 7400 Kabylake 3.00ghz
8gb Crucial ballistix DDR4 2400mhz
Asus Intel Prime B250 pro
Kingston 128gb SSD for boot & programs (50gb partition for os & rest for programs)
Windows 10 pro 64bit
PSU is Coolermaster 550w 80bronze modular thing (irrelevant I'm sure)

I tried a fix I found on web by where I allocated more virtual memory space on the hdd no change so have set back to auto.
Any help appreciated
Regards
Dan

Bump! Anyone have any ideas?
I'm tempted to sack obs off and just use the Elgato software which seemed to work fine.

Hi Osiris, the ram is only showing around 3gb being used & ive over 70gb left on my hdd. It just pops is saying not enough memory and applications need to close. As I say I'm not saving any video or sound data so I don't get why it's saying it.

You could try to create a new Scene Collection and add your sources one by one to see which one uses that much memory.

But surely it shouldn't be consuming that much memory to just be passing through a video to stream, especially if I'm not recording anything. On my overlays I only have my stream name at the top & a recent donation scrolling bar. From looking around on the web it seems a fairly common problem with obs

I am actually experiencing the same issue with 16gb of RAM, for me I suspect it is actually the game I am streaming or recording being the major problem rather than OBS itself. It is possibly also a storage memory issue because I noted that the message didn't specify the type of memory was being the issue, and I found it was storing temporary stream data to my 500 gb SSD rather than the 4 TB HDD I found wasn't mapped properly (so OBS actually is to thank for me finding that one out).
