Bug Report OBS crashes while recording...

OBS is very bi-polar when it comes to crashing for me. it kept crashing while recording gameplay but I wasn't paying attention to what it was saying. so I come here and decide to post on this forum but I figured I better know what it says when it crashes so I open OBS and start recording a game again. the first time, it worked fine so I tried a second time and it worked again! OBS is beginning to look like the free program that it is to me. ive tried re-installing it, ive tried running it as administrator, ive tried just simply re-opening it. nothing works! it still crashes at random times during random recording sessions! I don't want to be in the middle of a sentence and hear that noise that lets me know its crashing then have to try re-recording it again and again and again only to be repeating the same stuff every time and not knowing if it will crash or not. its such a pain. can someone help me with this? it would be VERY much appreciated!

Your post doesn't really have much to go on. Please post a log file, crash log or dump file.

ok so there is nothing that come up when I open OBS in the window that says "Log" but when I looked through my computer, there are wordpad documents that say crash log. here is the most recent one. the message that comes up when it crashes says there is no more memory and something about allocating stuff. please help.

Did you maybe set too large a buffering time on a device? What device are you using and at what resolution / format?

the device, assuming I know what you mean, is an Asus laptop gaming computer. the screen resolution is 1366x768 current and 1366x728 working. the buffer size is the normal... 2500 and the resolution downscale is 2.00 (682x384). fps 25. the base resolution I have obs set to is 1366x768. hope this helps you help me! :)

The device is the video capture device that you've added to your scene. A regular OBS log would be useful.

oh. I have a webcam going and a video game. how would I go about getting a regular OBS log? this is the best I can do besides what ive already posted. I cant open it because I don't have the right program so it may just be the same thing I posted earlier but im not sure.

No idea. Try lowering the resolution of it, it's bigger than your entire scene which is probably unnecessary.
