Bug Report OBS Studio crashing

Hi!

Basically my issue is that OBS Studio is crashing 95% of the time I'm done streaming for the day and trying to close it.

Here is what happens: I'm done streaming, stopping broad cast (and waiting until it completely stops) then I try to close OBS Studio by clicking X in the top right corner. However, alamost every single time I get a message that says "OBS Studio has crashed" and it offers me to copy a log to the clipboard (which I will be attaching). Furthermore, after this it leaves behind multiple instances of "cef-bootstrap.exe" which will keep running in the background for what feels like about 30 seconds, then unless you quickly closed them from task manager they immeidately start sinking up all your RAM until your pc will be so starved on it that it takes minutes to even close them.

Might be an important note that OBS Studio always functions properly and never crash while I use it, this issue exclusively happens when I'm trying to close it.

It's been quite a while (probably months) since my issue started, in fact there has been multiple updates since then and I was hoping "maybe one of the updates will fix this" but by now it feels like I must be alone with this issue so I decided to post here about it.

It's been about 2 weeks. Can someone look at it and either request further details & tests or atleast say "sorry, we just don't know"?

Your crash is from the Browser Source and it looks like it's from CEF itself. There's not much that can be done here.

So that means I could technically play around with temporarily removing browser sources 1 by 1 until I can find what's causing it?

Pretty much. If you are unlucky it could be all of them, or the exact last one you remove.
