Bug Report OBS Studio crashing after update

[clawmaster]

The new update is out, and added some awesome features! But it is consistently crashing on me when I open it up, and load up my scene. Here is my log for the crash. If anyone can help me out or if it's something OBS peeps have to fix please let me know.

This is not a crash log. Please provide the actual crash log:

Press WinKey+R or go to Start > Search and type %APPDATA%\obs-studio\crashes and then press enter. Find the log with most recent timestamp on it, open it, and copy the contents to https://gist.github.com/ and then link here.

So, going from the crash and your original log... Why do you have such an insanely high number of image slideshow sources?

 

[Fenrir]

Also, going through your scenes/sources list... you have an extremely high number of duplicate sources.

You should not be adding things as a new source when they are actually the same thing. Use add existing.

for example:

19:35:57.175: - source: 'vs Drills 4' (slideshow)

This means you have this source five separate times loaded in to OBS. And that's just one of nearly a hundred I can see that are duplicated like this. All sources in OBS are global, which means they will load regardless if the scene is active or not. You should REALLY go through and cut everything down to use Add Existing wherever possible.

I'm honestly shocked you haven't had issues up to this point.

Because those images are slideshows of stats of the players that are in the online tournament series I host called Monday Night Blockbuster. (skullgirls tourny) I wanted to incorporate a stats bar at the bottom of each player I want to show on stream while the match is going on, ala ESPN or how it was set up at EVO a few years ago.

The problem (at least to my knowledge) is that when I do have that for another scene, the image doesn't up in time to when I want it to be. Tho after this latest update that should fix the problem actually <<

and to add, prior to the update OBS Studio was working fine with all the images I put into each scene

 

[clawmaster]

add more to this, all the files are separate for a reason. Each player that completed in the online tournament series has it's own file. So for example, Adwins vs NuclearPotato2 is different then NuclearPotato vs Adwins. Each player has it's own record vs another player.

The way it's formated to, if I had one source for each player, it would only read for that player that person have fought against. So say that I want to show Adwin's record vs another player for instance FizzXwizz. If I load up the the source or record for Adwins it will show his record against NuclearPotato NOT against FizzXwizz thus losing the point of what I want to accomplish for the stream.

Point being, the ESPN idea quick facts was going fine until the update happen to where it crashes now. Prior to the update It was fine as is.

The crash condition was identified and should be correct in a hotfix later today.

Please don't misunderstand any of my advice here, I'm not trying to call you put on anything or say you're doing things wrong just for the sake of it, just trying to help you make things better and cut down on any performance impact you might be having with such an insanely high number of sources. If each slideshow only has one image though, you should just use the normal image source instead. If they due truly all have multiple images, and all those images are separate and unique, then by all means carry on. Apologies for misunderstanding :)

It's fine. I am actually looking into making this easier on me by use of Scoreboard assistant and having it automated rather then having to do what I was doing before. glad to hear that there is a hotfix coming soon, there is one scene in my obs that is whenever selected automaticly crashes OBS.
