Question / Help OBS stopped working today and kept crashing

[Valentina]

Hello,

I am new to this forum. I am experiencing some issues with the OBS software, and I wasn't unable to solve them. This morning everything worked well and suddenly I wasn't able to even open the software as it crashes every single time. My error log can be found here:

In addition to the crash report see below the error I got every time I try to open the program (attached screenshot).

I tried already to uninstall the software and reinstall it back again, but with no luck.

Please help. I would like to use this software soon for some streaming webinars.

Many thanks

Remove your ~/Library/Application Support/obs-studio folder, something in it is corrupt.

It is a good idea in general to either back this folder up (if you're doing regular backups of your boot volume it will be included) or at least export your scene collections to a backup location.

Moving (or deleting) that folder will solve your problem, but you'll lose all your profiles and scenes. That's what is stored there, and something being corrupted there may be causing the crashes.

Trying moving the folder to the desktop first and see if OBS starts; you can later try to restore individual profiles and scenes until you discover what item caused the crash.
