Bug Report OBS Studio Fails to Load if Using ChromaCam Virtual; Uninstall ChromaCam

[OmegaMan]

I installed `StreamElements OBS.Live` and was going through the wizard steps to run. All was going well until I tried to remove my main camera source to instead use ChromaCam virtual camera that I had used in the past. Upon clicking `Remove` the app crashed. At that point I was unable to run the app, it would initially load then just crash.

Uninstalling the OBS apps didn't work; only uninstalling ChromaCam would the OBS Studio then successfully launch and be visible. Then I installed ChromaCam after and it will load up with ChromaCam running.

-----

I am attaching the last four log files which seem to cover the initial failure, the attempt to start, the uninstall/reinstall, and then the uninstall ChromaCam with successful run to finally the successfull run to successful run with ChromaCam installed.

So...How about a try/catch or global catchall (if this is WPF) to not have the app erroneously shut down?...! :-)

Please also include the crash log, though bugs in 3rd party software are often outside of our control.

OBS.Live is also well-known to cause issues, and a majority of its functionality is already present in main-line OBS Studio. That which is not can be added with Custom Docks, from the View menu.

In the past, Chromacam was reported quite some times as source of OBS crash. It's not clear if newer Chromacam versions are better, or it is a not too stable piece of software.

There were no crash log that I found. :-(

I have the same problem and have included a crash log. The problem seems to stem from switching between scenes with the native cam, and chromacam. My guess is chomacam might be having trouble getting a lock on the native webcam, but somehow it takes down OBS. Even if the problem is with chromacam, should OBS be able to withstand it without crashing?

I am not a programmer, but let me know how I can help.
