OBS Studio crashing a lot
Liam Dawe Nov 30, 2015
So, I seem to have a very unstable experience with OBS Studio, and I am wondering if anyone else has a similar experience?

It seems to crash a lot for me using Window Capture, especially crashy when you close the window it's currently capturing.

I have a few logs:

I have reported issues on the official OBS Studio bugtracker, but no reply as of yet, so maybe we can track it down together and figure out what's causing it? I want to do more livestreaming, but it's becoming a hassle when it crashes randomly 3-4 times in a stream.

I have a forum post on their official forum now too: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/obs-studio-is-extremely-unstable-for-me.39772/

I don't know why, but I noticed this on Ubuntu but never on Arch. Don't know why.
