SO TLDR let me write in short steps what happened
it was fine for a bit of stream, then after some time it would go from 1~2% CPU to 8, the video on my just chatting screen would get stuck and then OBS crashed.
steps I've taken:
Attached are: Crash during today's stream. I ignored this one and I could continue streaming until I hit the ok on it [the one called 20]. CPU sat at around 5% , a second crash log from when I re-opened OBS and it would immediately spike back to 8%, then close shortly afterwards . [23 file one]
- OBS was fine [ran the most recent version + win11 version]
- got a new animated background in [old one was 3mb, this one is 12mb, both are webm files]
- decided to clean up my sources by making my overlay in Streamelements and combining with other browsersources[will refer to as SE now]
- in one browser source I had: overlay video, chat, music player & sub goal. this took out having 3 loose sub goals + a video in OBS
- I also installed a plugin to rotate chat 3d to fit inside of the TV of my background.

steps I've taken:
- remove the plugins
- remove that heavy browsersource and turn it back into the regular ones but now the video is a source in OBS
- uninstalled OBS [I had the most recent version], did a clean install and rolled back to a slightly older version [32.0.1]
- Installed all plugins fresh. I only have move source, spout2 and streamdeck for OBS installed.
