Full Description of the Issue Whenever I run my OBS Studio, whether it be few seconds or few minutes, it just suddenly crashes and closes the application immediately without any warning. I tried to check for any crash logs, since the crash happens when I am live streaming very often, but I cannot find any traces of a crash under my "crashes" folder.

All I can find are the logs under "C:\Users\ytg06\AppData\Roaming\obs-studio\logs".

Please let me know if there are specific steps I can do to avoid this from happening ever again.

Sincerely, An OBS User.
