A couple nights ago I upgraded OBS to the latest version. Afterwards I could not get OBS to every show an source window in the top area of OBS. I ended up complete blowing away OBS and doing a reinstall. That got me back to working again after I had to rebuild all sources from scratch.

Today OBS crashes every time I drop the OBS window from my MacBook screen to one of the two additional monitor. Every time OBS would crash. After this happening three times I could no longer launch OBS. MacBook say Not Responding. So I have blow away OBS again and reinstalled. I am also removing the OBS folders in the ~/Library folder. Regardless OBS will no longer launch after a fresh install and reboot of the MacBook. I can't send you a log since I can't get get into OBS.

I looked in the ~/Library folder and there are no OBS folders. When I go to Force Quit I can get the macbooka log file that I have attached for you.

How can I get OBS to reinstall and launch again? I have tried both the 29,0 version and the latest version OBS. I am on an Intel 2.6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7 so I am installing the Intel version of OBS.

I was able to resolve this issue on my late 2020 MBA M1 by deleting the folder in ~/Library/ApplicationSupport/obs-studio (don't delete 'ApplicationSupport', delete 'obs-studio') then reinstall OBS.

BEFORE YOU do you might want to save the sub-folders in ~/obs-studio/basic as this is where the information is stored that helps OBS remember your profiles and scenes (and i'm guessing sources too).

I unfortunately didn't know this at the time and know i've got to set it all up again!

If you need help finding the Library/ApplicationSupport folder do this:
-open a finder window
-on the menu bar click on 'Go'
-while holding the option key select the 'Library' option from the list (it is hidden if you don't hold the option key)
-find the Application Support folder then the obs-studio folder

I hope this helps!
Happy streaming / recording :)
