Question / Help OBS Studio crashes seconds after opening

[Jake S.]

I was preparing to test OBS Studio out tonight. After making several settings changes, the last being adding buffering to my webcam, I figured I needed to close and reopen for some of the changes to take effect. Now it crashes each time I attempt to open it.

Have a look at this post:

Before you take any action based on that could you do the following? Right click Start, choose Run and type %appdata% and press return. Go down the folder structure and find obs-studio and in there basic. In this folder you should see two folders. Right click on the scenes one and choose Send To, Compressed file (or zip it up some other way), and then upload the resultant file to this post. Please be very careful not to upload your profiles folder as it may contain your stream key.

Is this what you mean?

Thanks that might help the devs understand why the crash happens. The only fix currently is to take a look at my other post and remove the crop filter :-(

I ran into a similar issue when I accidentally made one of my text sources 500 pt size, I ended up having to remove my save file completely and start over as I knew no other way to do it

Just wanted to let you guys know this will be fixed in 0.14.0 (which is almost finished).
