Looking for some help with this annoying issue. When I'm streaming, and I try to alt tab out and the moment I try to tab back in, my game will freeze. I can't do anything about it so far, therefore I have to force close it through task manager.

I tried fullscreen and fullscreen windowed and it still happens. I did not have this issue before. It has happened while I was playing different games, over the past few weeks.

This hasn't been an issue in my first 1-2 weeks when I was streaming with obs Studio, so it's very confusing. I feel like it's a memory issue, but I'm not sure. I am running obs studio in admin mode. Drivers/obs etc are up to date.

Obs Log: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/4b4a24912624831da5c27ab88a421a57

Streaming at:

  • 6k bitrate(from the auto config wizard in obs)
  • 720p60 output on stream
  • mode -> capture specific window
  • window -> the game itself
  • window match priority -> match title, otherwise find window of same executable
  • no additional tickboxes checked
Pc specs:

  • Intel i7-6700k @ 4ghz
  • Asus Z170 Pro Gaming(latest bios updated)
  • Corsair Vengeance LPX Series 16GB
  • MSI GeForce GTX 1070 GAMING X 8G

Perhaps I should mention I also always have shadowplay running and I'm using nvenc instead of x264(as suggested by the auto config wizard tool)
