OBS hangs with the plugin

[eebssk1]

          A big thank you for keeping the tool alive. Just tried your updated release SRBeep2-win64. The download package does not contain the bin folder with SDL2.dll. So, used the one from earlier release. This time however, when you activate the record function via a hotkey or the UI, the entire OBS client hangs before crashing. It's the same behaviour upon deleting SDL2.dll.

Upon removing the concerned SRBEEP2 files, OBS works as normal.

The logs however say SRBeep2 is loaded.

Are you using the latest OBS? What's your windows version? Also based on configuration from the logs , it looks like you are running on a rather older computer. This module is currently built by my custom toolchain which only supports current/modern CPU variants that may be the cause of your issue.

OS: Windows 10 22H2 3036 OBS: 29.1.0

only supports current/modern CPU variants This is likely the cause. You're right I'm on a very older generation spec. Thank you for your effort anyway.

I'll recompile the module with generic toolchain after figured out how to make the module smaller. The SDL.dll is not needed as it's already included in the module.

[CRBRC217]

Thank you for the consideration. Appreciate it :)

Thank you for the consideration. Appreciate it :)

Hi.Pls try the SRBeep2-legacy_rmv_me.dll in the same release section.Remember to remove "-legacy_rmv_me".

[CRBRC217]

Thank you again for the custom build. Works flawlessly like before.

Don't want take up anymore of your time. Does modifying this particular dll to re-link the library require programming know-how or is it something that can be achieved by editing in Hex editor as you mentioned over on the OBS forum? If it is the latter, we would appreciate some instructions so we don't have to bother you every time an OBS update breaks the link again. :)

This version of mine is self contained(Also the case of the size) so it does not depend on external dll, which should normally work even obs updates.

Thank you

Great to hear that.
