Does it still crash if you just run OBS normally, not from the command line?

Do you happen to know if you were pressing a hotkey at the time of crash, or entering in a system password?

I am experiencing this same problem. Crashing with OBS running normally and not from command line. Also crashing if the command line is being used. No hotkeys configured for use. OBS seems to run normally up until the point where PS4 is turned on and OBS Link engages Display Capture. As soon as Display Capture becomes active, OBS crashes. OBS can be used successfully in all other scenes, including with Webcam and active mic.

MacOS Catalina 10.15.2 (19C57)

Tried to revert to the fix in https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/macos-10-15-catalina-support-status.111343/ but no resolution.

I have tried both the command line and the normal starting of OBS. I should have checked this before opening but it seems when typing in my password it happens. OBS can be running, I go to Security & Privacy, make any change that requires me to type in my password to unlock padlock and OBS will crash. Also crashes when tying in password to unlock screen saver.

Radeon RX 580 8 GB

Are you sure that is a Radeon RX 580 8 GB in your mac Mini and not an Intel UHD Graphics 630? I want one of those Mac Mini's ;)

Quite certain- though, it's not in it, but rather next to. Everything runs through my GPU - I need it for video editing and streaming.

So this is an eGPU?

Similar problem as mentioned by other 2 users. What we all have in common: 6-core intel CPU, Catalina, latest OBS. I also have an rx 580, but the first guy doesnt, so I dont know if it matters. Same issue, it crashes when im prompted for a password by the OS.
