I have had this issue happen to me two times, and due to the first time that this happened to me, I've tried to be very cautious since, and I've done several recordings since then with no problem. The second time that this happened to me was yesterday, when in the middle of another big recording, I felt confident enough to not check my OBS since from last recordings things where going pretty well and I was very invested with what I was doing in my recording so, again, I felt confident enough to not check, but when it was time to hit stop recording all I saw was that OBS was frozen in a frame moments before hitting Alt+Tab to change windows and such, thing is, that my mouse was still moving normally around the screen in the recording with the frozen frame on display, so I don't know why suddenly OBS decides to stop recording my screen and freeze in a frame moments before hitting Alt+Tab to change windows. How in my recordings specifically works is that normally I would record myself playing games which I have them in fullscreen, and since I don't have any other monitors besides just one, then I sometimes have to change windows from the game I'm playing to Discord or to my desktop window, for example. When I do that, in the recordings usually the screen goes blackfor some seconds to later show the window that I'm currently in, and when I go back to the window of the game I'm playing, it does the same thing. So this time doing this usual thing of mine, OBS just suddenly stops recording my entire screen and freezes on my game capture in the exact moment that I'm changing windows, and for the rest of the recording, it records audio just fine, and my mouse moving all around the screen, but what I'm capturing it's just frozen in that frame, and how I fix it is just by going to OBS and clicking on the scene screen that shows my recording so it can record my entire screen again, and it's just infuriating because hours of gameplay just goes to waste because of this issue, and because of the human factor, it's very difficult to be checking every single time if the program has been showing for a current amount of time confirmation that things are working like they're supposed to, leaving me with enough confidence to think that I shouldn't worry in checking if the program is still recording my screen, to then stop working in the middle of a recording that I'm very invested in. My question is if there's any way to prevent this kinds of errors to show again in the future, and if there's any way to fix already exported recordings from the program with this issue present in the recordings so that it could show what it should have recorded in the first place?
