Hi guys, I used to use Twitch Guest Star fine but in the last month or so it causes OBS to have high RAM usage with 1 guest and guarantees a crash with 2 or more guests. There doesn't have to be a guest on the call, as long as the sources are visible and Guest Star is active it will crash and...

Hi everyone, I am using OBS on my Mac as an interface for my webcam and mic to feed it into MS Teams. It's nothing special, just the cam, a simple text and picture overlay, and my mic with some VST plugins. However, after running OBS for a certain amount of time, it starts filling the...

Since 16/06/2022, most likely due to a Windows 10 update, OBS started eating up 1 MB of RAM every 5-10 seconds. This occurs even when i simply open it, with no active streaming nor recording. Tried searching issues on GitHub but found nothing. The logs analyzer reports nothing wrong...

Hi all ! I recently restored a clean version of my streaming PC. Since then I'm getting high CPU usage on a random basis. Let me explain : Sometimes I spend hours livestreaming (NVENC) + recording (x264) without a hitch. Sometimes I just boot up OBS, not even going live, to find my usual 10%...

Hello, For the past 2 months when getting into more PC gaming while streaming I would start running into issue. First case, after maybe 10-20 minutes of running a game while streaming, OBS would crash and then cause a BSOD. This scenario's likelihood was oddly increased (almost certain) when...

Firstly, I'm aware OBS does NOT work on Big Sur, this error occurs on Catalina. It's very easy to reproduce. Simply create a browser elements with some stream elements theme. Then watch your memory usage go up, refer to my screenshot to use activity viewer on the memory section. You don't...

Last month this happened for the first time - OBS was causing memory leaks filling up all my SWAP (16 GB) and all my RAM (32 GB) and taking down my system twice during a live event. Today I'm doing another stream and the same is happening. It works well for a while, but the suddenly it starts...

Hello all -- long time lurker and first-time poster! I use OBS to stream music videos from bands to A&R people at record labels, so the VLC integration has always worked flawlessly for me -- until recently. I'm not sure what has changed, but now my OBS seems to sprout a memory leak every time...
