Hello, I've been using OBS for about 2 years now to run my stream. Sadly, I've been having a crashing issue. I've had this issue for a long time and it plagues my stream start up regularly. (>300 crash logs in my crashes folder since this year) All that i can add is that when the problem occurs(Crashing) I can remove all USB devices, and the program will usually open fine. Replacing the usb devices can cause the issue to occur again, or if i'm lucky, work fine. I don't know if it's related to the other programs i use to capture gameplay. (Elgato Game capture)

Thank you for any help. I love OBS. :)

Update your OBS Studio, you are still on an ancient 0.15.0. The latest (at the time of writing) is 0.16.5. Your log also doesn't show a crash.

Yes, you are running windows 10 anniversary update.

Updating OBS for you is mandatory. Last OBS version has a workaround to fix Windows 10 problems.

Thanks! I guess I did that wrong. I actually updated to 0.16.5 yesterday but had a new issue of crashing on the launch of the program. So i reverted to 0.15.0 because I knew I could at least get my stream running with that.
Sadly I have no idea if that has to do with the USB issue or if I solve this issue, that the USB issue will return.
Here is a link to the crash log from my launching crash for the 0.16 update. Any help would be fantastic! Thanks! :)

That crash happens in an Image Source in a function that allocates memory. One or more of your Image Sources contain Images that are impossible to load for OBS.

Interesting. The image loads in 0.15 but crashes in 0.16? Thank for the reply! :)

If I read the crash log right, it failed to allocate 256mb of memory - most likely due to 0.16.5 using more memory than 0.15.0. Could you should try with the 64-bit version?
