OBS Studio stops recording mid way through Game.

OberZine · January 19, 2018

Hi, I've been a long time user of OBS studio and Never encountered something this bad.

Step by step on how OBS crashes.

I load up OBS studio Portable (Facecam)
I load up OBS studio (Game/Desktop)
I start recording by pressing F9 which starts both.
I load up a game (in this example Battlefield 1)
then about 30 - 60 seconds in to the game, it will just crash.
not the game, but one of the OBS instances that are open.

And it will always be random on which one crashes.

My computer is more than capable on recording 60fps 1080p on both instances of OBS Studio as I've been using it like I say for a long time now.
It's not like I'm running out of RAM as I have 64GB DDR4
I've got an Sapphire RX480 nitro+ OC
And have plenty of storage.
I always clean install new graphics drivers when they are needed.

And yes I use --portable in a shortcut on my desktop to load OBS from a separate hard drive as a new instance. (Facecam)

and I leave the default settings for installing OBS apart from turning off plugins, as have no use for them. (Game/Desktop)

Any and much help would be appreciated.

Edit: To also note. I don't stream. I only record.

I also Posted to the OBS forums but I'm not getting any replies? Hopefully some here can be of more help?

They might be trying to access the same hardware components.

Why not put your face cam in normal OBS?

Just add the camera to the scene, set everything up how you want to look, and then record.

Because I edit my facecam separately. I like have the freedom of being able to edit every little bit.
