OBS Studio Recently Crashing All The Time

After testing more I have found that OBS Streamlabs works perfectly. Only OBS Studio consistently crashes. They have access to the same libraries and everything. I don't understand what is happening with OBS Studio, seems like it was fine until a few weeks ago.
 
One of your installed VST plugins is causing the crash. Not possible to tell which one in the log

Going by the behavior of the crashing and the log files this is most likely because of a VST called "Frontier Limiter". This VST caused a similar crashing issue before, overtime OBS Studio crashes in a loop if Frontier Limiter is "active".

Thought I had gotten rid of it or solved the problem it was causing at least. Unfortunately, I cannot get to the devices that Frontier Limiter is under to see if that makes the crashes stop, because now OBS Studio just crashes in a loop. I thought I had removed the VST from my computer but it seems like OBS Studio insists on attempting to read it after it has been uninstalled and removed from all known folders. It should not be showing up in the log files at all but it is.

I'm not saying this the Frontier Limiter VST is definitely causing the current crashes but based on past experience it is most likely the VST causing the issue.

I will keep troubleshooting and if I can definitively narrow down the issue I will update this thread.
 
Solved.

Had to remove all user info when I uninstalled it. Imported scene collections from before the Frontier Limiter VST was used. Now OBS Studio works perfectly, no lagging, no crashing.
