Obs-studio installed causing Burnout Paradise Remastered to crash at startup

Hi,

I was having issues getting Burnout Paradise Remastered to launch, it would crash after clicking past the main menu. The version of Burnout Paradise Remastered I have runs under Origin Client. Strangely once I toggled Origin Client to offline I was able to play Burnout Paradise with no issues - but only in offline mode. Toggling Origin back to online caused Burnout Paradise to crash again. I found a thread on reddit that suggested to install obs-virtualcam and that did the trick, it fixed the issue in Burnout Paradise, no crashing after the main menu, even when Origin was set to online.

I uninstalled virtualcam software as I didn't need it (or so I thought) and the issue came back, Burnout Paradise Remastered would crash again. I finally figured it out, Obs-Studio was conflicting all along, even when Obs was not running, just having it installed was causing the issue. I uninstalled Obs-Studio completely and that has fixed the issue for good.

Burnout Paradise Remastered has webcam support, they can use your webcam to take a photo of your reaction in game, yet I don't have a webcam installed, neither do I have a VR headset. There isn't an option in Burnout Paradise to disable this webcam feature, it is forced enabled. What I find strange is that Obs-Studio wasn't even running, yet just having it installed on my pc would cause Burnout Paradise to crash. I think there must be a conflict going on, perhaps OBS installs some sort of webcam driver? Just letting you guys know in case you have a similar problem.
