In the past few weeks, OBS has been "crashing" but in a strange way.
I'll be streaming to Twitch.
At some point, my displays will go black, effectively crashing my system.
I have to do a hard reset with the power button on my mac mini to get my displays back.
When I get the displays back, the system has logged me out, so I need to log back in again.
Everything looks just as I left it, with all the same apps and windows open. Though sometimes I need to unplug and replug the HDMI port on one of the displays to get it back.
All this happens while the stream is still running on Twitch.
It doesn't affect my microphone, as people can still hear me (usually swearing at OBS).
Once this starts happening, it happens every few minutes, and I have to do the hard reset each time.
It's frustrating.
I've experimented with the OBS settings, run the auto-configuration wizard, and even tried Streamlabs OBS (same thing happened) and Twitch Studio (can't get it to boot up properly).
I don't understand the problem or why this keeps happening. But I do notice that the bitrate drops into the red.
I even tried deleting and reinstalling OBS.
It keeps happening.
Anyone experience something similar or know how to fix this?
Thanks for any help.
