Expected Behavior

OBS Studio should run normally without crashing during regular operation, streaming, or recording sessions.

Current Behavior

OBS Studio crashes unexpectedly during use, causing loss of recording/streaming sessions and requiring restart of the application. The crashes appear to be random and not tied to specific actions, affecting both recording and streaming functionality.

Steps to Reproduce

3.1. Launch OBS Studio version 31.1
2. Set up scenes and sources for recording/streaming
3. Start recording or streaming session
4. Use OBS normally for variable amount of time (minutes to hours)
5. Application crashes unexpectedly without warning
6. OBS closes completely and any ongoing recording/stream is lost

Note: Crashes appear to be random and not reproducible through specific actions.
