Question / Help Really tired of the WAY OBS crashes. Can I just have it crash normally?

[TaienV]

I just streamed four hours of my eight hour stream before realizing that only 20 minutes got broadcast. Because when OBS crashes (and this happens from time to time), it pops up a tiny window BEHIND its main window and gives you virtually no indication a crash has occurred. Your scene is still animated and unless you happen to Alt-Tab out of your game and have a title bar present on the bottom of the screen, you have no idea it has happened. Can you just like....give me a config option somewhere to allow the program to just crash normally and bypass this stupid popup that has cost me at least a hundred hours over the course of my time streaming for the last year?

There's not even a point in finishing my stream for the day now because this is where I usually start doing creative stuff and if I haven't built up viewers before I get to this point, I don't get any for the creative portion. And I lost my audience three and a half hours ago apparently. -.-

If you have solved your problem yourself, please let the others know how you did it If someone else has the same problem, he will find your post, read it through, is no step closer to solving it, and has wasted some time.

A screenshot of the whole situation with the error message visible and readable would be nice. It's strange that the error pops up behind OBS.This looks as if some other component is actually producing it, not OBS.
