Bug Report OBS keeps crashing

Hello everyone,

Thanks for this great free tool first. Unfortunately I'm having problems with OBS lately, especially when streaming a game called Mechwarrior Online. It wasn't happening earlier but started 2 weeks ago when both MWO and Nvidia drivers were updated.

MWO runs on Cryengine 3 and after login it opens a 1280x720 windowed "Mechlab" client where you configure your mech and search for a match. After it finds a match, it switches to fullscreen. After a match, it returns to the windowed mechlab. This is when crashes occur, when the game switches from fullscreen to windowed or vice versa. After a crash occurs, it's very hard to get OBS streaming again(it crashes as soon as I click stream). I either have to relaunch the MWO client which fixes the problem for a few rounds, or restart my computer fully. If I can get OBS to work, another crash happens after a few rounds again. One thing I noticed is, sometimes when OBS crashes my in-game text becomes garbled.

I'm using gamecapture on a laptop by the way, OBS is set to run on Nvidia card and the first video adapter is selected in OBS settings. Window capture doesn't have this crash, but then I get terrible FPS.

I have tried reinstalling MWO, OBS and doing a fresh Nvidia driver install. It'd be great if you can take a look at my dump files.

As the crash is in your nvidia drivers, maybe you should downgrade to the version that was working.

It's still happening on latest drivers. Can anyone take a look at my logs and tell me what's wrong?
