OBS Crashes: Repeated and Random

Over the past few weeks my OBS has been crashing, seemingly at random.
I updated my OBS to 30.1.1 this week and updated as many plugins as I could but the issue recurred today.

The crashes do not have identical behavior. Sometimes, my GUI crashes but my stream continues to run. Sometimes, certain stream sources crash and may or may not recover. Today, the OBS application froze and grayed over in Windows and my stream disconnected entirely. My OBS froze and grayed out at the time of the crash, but I occasionally got some push notifications about websocket connections via Windows. The crash happened as I was in studio mode and attempted to cut over between two scenes. However, the behavior is not always like this and sometimes seems to crash at random.

The "Half-crashes" always involve my StreamElements components that provide a source to display chat messages, recent subs, and recent follows. When the half-crash occurs, the chat / sub / follow banners will disappear from the scene until I restart OBS. However, other aspects of the stream freeze as well, like my vTube Studio source. So realistically I can't be confident to the source of my issues.

My most recent log is here:

The crash happened between 14:10 and 14:13, around the time I transitioned to the scene "g a m e [ NEW! ]"

I'm having the exact same issue although my OBS just crashes either itself, or the encoder has problem or both. Today OBS is crashing even without asking to make crash log.

I've installed GPU drivers 2 times through DDU and once after that also updated normally through Geforce Experience, also making it with "clean install". No help
I've uninstalled and reinstalled OBS few times, backuping the settings and scenes. No Help
I've disabled "Hardware acceleration for web sources" and also removed hardware acceleration from sources, where it's present. No help
I've tried enabling HAGS but that made things even worse, so I've disables that.

My only three plugins in stream-PC are Soundboard, NDI and image reaction. No help when removing these

9900K & 2080 Super. Both tested, 9900K with intelburntest2 and GPU with HEaven benchmark , no issues.

System files checked with DISM & scn, no issues. All drivers and Win10 in latest versions.

I'm very heavily tilting towards that latest version of OBS doesn't work right at least with Turing's Nvenc Encoder as the OBS didn't and won't crash if the GPU in the stream-PC is/was 1060 3G.


I would like to hear from devs, which older OBS version should work best with Turing Nvenc Encoder or should I just install 5 years older tech than Turing to computer as the OBS doesn't seem to handle the Turing at least with the lates Nvidia drivers?
