So, forgive me if this has been posted before or anything, I searched but could not find anything relatable. The short of it is, my webcam will work when I reboot my computer, then when starting a stream/recording, about 3 seconds into any game, it freezes, crashes, and then a red box is there. In order for me to regain use of my webcam on my computer at all after this happens, is to reboot it. The logs don't show any error, and it's only caused from using OBS. If I try to turn the webcam on with other programs it's fine. But, after this happens it's not detectable period by any program, Windows no longer sees it, and I have to reboot my computer. It's getting to be extremely annoying, as for the time I've used OBS this has never happened. This happens in Legacy and Studio.
In regards to further information, I have no changed any settings at all, these are the same settings as I've used since I've started using OBS. I primarily just use OBS to record gameplay, but occassionally stream, and when I do I have a profile for streaming, so the bitrate is much, much lower in that case, this is my recording profile (in the logs). I'm getting tired of having to restart my computer just to get the webcam to work again.
