Question / Help Whoops, OBS has crashed! after OBS update :(

[Zan]

Hey guys i just installed obs update and just as the title says now i keep getting a message "Whoops, OBS has crashed!" every time i try to start OBS.
Ive reinstalled several times, with clean installs and nothing running at the time of install
PSA for Windows 10 Anniversary Update problem does NOT apply to me as I'm on 1511 Win 10 build (1511 10586.679 build to be more specific)

any ideas?

Thanks <3

At least we need reset settings command line options (safe or so) to start OBS Studio with new profile and new scene collection. Because it only supports existing names for profile, collection and scene (cannot create new one).

Try portable mode of the Studio, but not transfer all your scenes: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-and-obs-studio-portable-mode-on-windows.359/

You can try to start with different Scene Collection by using command line key "--collection Name_of_your_collection".
Some info about command line keys: https://obsproject.com/forum/resour...ware-studio-multiplatform-help-guide-pdf.365/

When OBS crashes, it also still produces regular log files. In the future, please also include those, because they provide different but helpful information.

You have an image slideshow source that is causing a crash. Most likely, OBS cannot allocate enough memory to render the textures for it because the slideshow overall is too large or some images in it are too large. Do you have a slideshow of animated GIFs perhaps? Try OBS Studio 64-bit, which can allocate more memory than 32-bit, or try to modify/replace your image slideshow with something less memory hungry.

Thank you guys, tried it all - using 64bit is what fixed it :) really appreciate your help <3

Well, my issue is since new update, I can't use my webcam or OBS just wont start. AND mic isnt recognized anymore. And it turns off midstream. Here is a link to my last logfile

@RHSJack , try next:

1. download previous version of the studio, https://github.com/jp9000/obs-studio/releases
2. make sure that you are tried both 32 and 64 bit exe files of the Studio.
3. make sure that USB devices connected to different hubs of the PC (leave one of the each 2xPort free).
4. if still nothing, try to go to the 'Video Capture Device' properties and re-select your cam from the Device list. Post this new log.
