Bug Report Weird things happening with OBS.

[hmmurdock]

So, First of all. I am using an older version because the newest one caused problems for me. One that I know worked. but just recently. When I run OBS and start streaming. anything that's open will refuse to close, but I can still (sort of) use them.. It won't let Task manager come open. And if it does, ending OBS doesn't do anything, The problem continues. (I'm assuming it's OBS because It only happens when I run OBS.) It is so bad that I have to force my computer to restart by using the power button on the tower. It has done this to me about 4-5 times lately until I realized OBS is what I was doing differently. Here's the log file.

I really hope someone knows what's going on.

Yeah, you are using 1029348234 sources in one scene and using the faster preset. You only ever need 1 Game Capture source, and avoid Monitor Capture on Windows 7 if you can help it. I'm betting you are just seriously overloading your hardware here, especially that GPU.

 

[hmmurdock]

Im only ever using 1-3 sources at a single time. the rest are other presets for other games so I don't have to edit them all the time. I updated and it seems to have fixed itself... for now.. I have no idea what happened.

Just unchecking them doesnt mean you dont use them, they are (were) still active. This HOWEVER changed in 0.51b and onwards, unchecked source are now destroyed instead of just hidden.

 

[dodgepong]

The latest version of OBS changed it so that when you uncheck sources, they are removed from memory and behave the way hmmurdock was expecting them to. Before, it just hid them, but kept the sources in memory.

EDIT: I guess I just repeated what Xeiz said...that's what I get for reading the forums too fast.

 

[hmmurdock]

Hmm. That's really weird. Everything does seem to be working fine now. Thanks for the help! I never would of guessed that they would stay active when they weren't even on.. Thanks again for the help, was interesting.

You should also choose a Twitch server near you rather than letting it pick randomly.
