OBS Not Responding after pressing Record and Stream

For some reason whenever I try to stream and record OBS Just freezes no logs or anything because it's freezing from within windows then it crashes.

%AppData%\obs-studio\logs is where they are stored for future reference, so you don't need to start OBS to see them

I know, it was just the most convenient at the time And now my GPU just restarted itself with me hearing a beep when it happened wtf

I would restart your PC and go into safe mode and make sure everything is running fine there, if not then it might be time for more digging

The things that solve 99% of computer issues: 1. Restart the computer 2. Restart the application 3. Updates 4. Uninstall and reinstall the application

Yep Restarting the PC and updating my driver did not fix it
Derek 🐒 "Turtle" Roe
Is there anything plugged into the PC right now? Besides power

Yep my clone hero guitar, facecam, microphone and external hard drive Nothing that would really crash it as it’s as basic as it gets

Is there anything in C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\obs-studio\crashes

File explorer found it
Derek 🐒 "Turtle" Roe
I mean that will fix the problem most likely, although you won't know what the root issue was I think reinstalling OBS might also work

I found a crash file
Derek 🐒 "Turtle" Roe
Why is there an OBS 29.1 libobs version but the folder says OBS 28?
Logan
LoganOPβ€’2y ago
I have 2 versions of OBS installed I updated one of them and forgot to update the folder name
Derek 🐒 "Turtle" Roe
OK, well assuming all the other files are also from OBS 29 that should be fine then You might try posting this in the OBS Discord, but I'm looking into the error code right now

Ok
Derek 🐒 "Turtle" Roe
I think it has something to do with an SQL server or unhandled Win32 or C++ exception, or by an access violation encountered during exception handling You might check the Windows error log as well See if there is anything unusual there But it looks like you probably just need to clean install OBS

I was told I had the Hardware GPU accelerator on
Derek 🐒 "Turtle" Roe
It worked before though, didn't it?
Logan
LoganOPβ€’2y ago
Yep
Derek 🐒 "Turtle" Roe
I would assume that probably wasn't it then
Logan

Still crashed with that off
Derek 🐒 "Turtle" Roe
Yeah, I think OBS just might need to be reinstalled. Make sure to backup everything you can of course. If that doesn't work, then I guess it could be something to do with the 2 installs, but we can cross that bridge when we come to it.

So I tried my other install and guess what that crashed and windows explorer crashed
Derek 🐒 "Turtle" Roe
Hm, I would say something is up with either OBS, or just your general Windows install. See if OBS runs in safe mode, if it does then it is probably Windows and not OBS
