Expected Behavior
I expected to be able to stream without fear of OBS crashing.
Current Behavior
OBS crashes sort of randomly.
Steps to Reproduce
- Start streaming
- Maybe OBS crashes, maybe it doesn't.
Anything else we should know?
This is a relatively new problem for me, starting around the end of May iirc. There doesn't seem to be a definite action that causes the crashes, though they sometimes seem to coincide with a Twitch alert. I posted on the OBS Discord asking for help and some troubleshooting advice I've gotten was to stop using stinger transitions, stop using scripts, stop using plugins, reinstall the VC redists, and so far I still crash.
The only changes I've made since the crash log I'm posting with this form are that I fully uninstalled + reinstalled the redists whereas before I just clicked "repair," and I also uninstalled a plugin that I started using in May.
I'm posting here because another user on the OBS forums (https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/obs-crashing-unsure-of-the-cause-stinger-transitions.176811/post-653179) suggested that it be posted here because they said something goes wrong with the pointers and memory and that it might be an OBS logic bug.
Thank you in advance for your time and please let me know if you need anything else from me. :)

Start by reviewing the OBS Studio log at https://obsproject.com/logs/HQB7G8OiT10fy4hs, focusing on the streaming period and any correlation with Twitch alerts. Reproduce the crash if possible and use additional crash data or a reliable reproduction to identify the failing component before defining a fix.
