Since today, OBS interferes with my camera.

When I loaded up OBS today I noticed picture flickering in my webcam. After fiddling around a bit I found out that this only happens while OBS is running. As soon as I close it, the errors are gone. And then as soon as I start it up again, it's there again. I use a logitech streamcam and capture the video from it's software Logi Capture. But even if I add the camera as a direct source without using the capture software, the error is present (and goes away as soon as I close OBS).
I wanted to attach a video showing the error, but even 3MB seems to be too large...if there is another way to send the vid, please notify me.

Log file for the short startup of OBS should be this one:

Have you tried adding the camera directly to OBS and not using capture??
I have two 920's connected that way and have no problems...

Yes, as I wrote, I tried that. It used to work completely fine up until yesterday. Nothing changed since then, except the errors popping up. the thing is, that the image gets distorted even in the logitech software as soon as OBS runs.

You can still keep capture but you can't run them both at the same time...

Well, but you can't use the Streamcam in 1080p60 if you're not using Logi Capture. And as I said, it also happens when I add the camera directly as a source to OBS, without Logi Capture. And I also said that I didn't have any issues with doing it exactly that way for the last two months. I don't have two cameras, I just have the streamcam.
