Hi, can you tell me why this message comes up every now and then when I start OBS? are there any solutions? I also tried reinstalling OBS but that didn't work.

Thank you

It appears to be the Browser Manager plugin. Update or remove it & try again.

By some reason the Browser module of OBS crashed.
It may happen if the security software blocked the obs-browser-page.exe file of OBS (lies in the folder obs-plugins\64bit\) or it was removed/damaged by other reasons, and you have browser source in your scenes. You need to check if any file of OBS was blocked/removed/quarantined by your security software. When OBS cannot access to its own files you get crash.

If you have any scene collection without the browser source inside - try to load it instead. This can be done via the command line key (like obs64.exe --collection your_scene_collection_name), because by default OBS automatically loads last used scene collection right at startup. This prevents OBS Browser source from load into memory via the OBS Browser module and thus, can potentially resolve the issue (usually the Browser module itself loads without the crashes). If you finally be able to run OBS - try main menu Help>Check File Integrity.

Or you can try newer version of OBS. You can run it portable mode too (similar to https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/crash-with-«could-not-find-locale-ini-path»-when-opening-app-settings.82157/#post-346499). By running newly created installation of OBS in portable mode you starting from the scratch, thus it should work OK (in case some of the sources or OBS settings were damaged).

That comes with OBS. No need to update it as it's updated with the program itself.
What it shows is a problem in one custom dock or browser source. Check this ones if a plugin is using it. Also, if you applied a filter to a browser source (you have installed streamfx) make sure the plugins are updated for OBS 29+

Thanks for the suggestions, I'm impractical, I'll try to understand from your suggestions to solve the problem.

Always keep one empty Scene Collection in OBS just to be able to load it when your main scene collection will be damaged. Name it "safe" or so (just to remember it for future).

Right now you cannot make new scene collection in OBS with command line keys, so you are forced to start from one of the scene collections you already have.

And time to time make backups of your scene collections (main menu Scene Collection>Export) to be able to import them later in other installations of OBS.
