OBS Random crash

[Tanizen]

Hi there,


I’ve been experiencing random crashes in OBS Studio, sometimes without any error message—the program just closes unexpectedly. This happens during both streaming and recording sessions, and I haven't been able to identify a specific trigger.


I'm currently using:

• OBS Studio version: 31.0.3 (64-bit)
• Windows version: 10.0 build 26100 (24H2)
• CPU: Intel Core i9-13900K
• GPU: NVIDIA (with NVENC enabled)

I’m attaching the most recent crash log, which shows an unhandled exception (c0000005) and several threads pointing to nvwgf2umx.dll (NVIDIA graphics driver), which might suggest an issue with NVENC or the GPU drivers.


I've already tried:

• Running OBS as administrator
• Updating to the latest NVIDIA drivers
• Disabling some plugins and browser sources
• Switching scenes and testing individual sources

The crashes still occur sporadically. I’d really appreciate if someone could help me analyze the crash log or suggest further steps to resolve this.


Thanks in advance!

Object was unloaded, so it is hard to analyze the cause. Can you look in the Windows "Event Viewer" for errors around the 2025-05-16, 00:43:33 ? There may be some details of what module failed first.

And, please, add your OBS session log file from the time and date when the crash occurred - it may has additional info that may help to understand what went wrong.

In the "Event Viewer" you are selecting Event Viewer (Local) > Windows Logs > Application section (it is on the left, you need to scroll the list up to see it) and looking for the Application errors by time and date of the OBS crash.
