Basically, obs-studio crashes when I launch obs-studio with OBS_USE_EGL=1 obs-studio when using OBS Studio 27.2.1 snap.
What should have happened?
I expect it to launch with EGL and work properly.

**Connecting Interfaces**
For the best experience, you'll want to connect the following interfaces.
sudo snap connect obs-studio:alsa
sudo snap connect obs-studio:audio-record
sudo snap connect obs-studio:avahi-control
sudo snap connect obs-studio:camera
sudo snap connect obs-studio:jack1
sudo snap connect obs-studio:kernel-module-observe
**NDI**
If you want to use the NDI plugin you'll need to connect the Avahi Control
interface.
snap connect obs-studio:avahi-control
**Virtual Camera**
Starting with OBS 26.1.0, Virtual Camera support is integrated. Here's how to
install and configure `v4l2loopback`:
sudo snap connect obs-studio:kernel-module-observe
sudo apt -y install v4l2loopback-dkms v4l2loopback-utils
echo "options v4l2loopback devices=1 video_nr=13 card_label='OBS Virtual
Camera' exclusive_caps=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/v4l2loopback.conf
echo "v4l2loopback" | sudo tee /etc/modules-load.d/v4l2loopback.conf
sudo modprobe -r v4l2loopback
sudo modprobe v4l2loopback devices=1 video_nr=13 card_label='OBS Virtual
Camera' exclusive_caps=1
**NOTE!** Using `video_nr` greater than 64 will not work.
**Removable Storage**
To access content on external storage, connect to the removable-media plug:
snap connect obs-studio:removable-media
**gPhoto**
The gPhoto plugin allows some DSLR cameras to be connected via USB. You'll need
to connect the Raw USB interface.
snap connect obs-studio:raw-usb
**3rd Party plugins**
To install pre-compiled plugins, download and extract the plugin to
`~/snap/obs-studio/current/.config/obs-studio/plugins/`.
This is how the Input Overlay plugin looks when correctly installed:
/home/username/snap/obs-studio/current/.config/obs-studio/plugins/
└── input-overlay
├── bin
│ └── 64bit
│ └── input-overlay.so
└── data
└── locale
├── de-DE.ini
├── en-US.ini
└── ru-RU.ini
If you want to use the Input Overlay plugin, you'll also need to connect the
joystick interface:
snap connect obs-studio:joystick
commands:
- obs-studio.eglinfo
- obs-studio.ffmpeg
- obs-studio.ffplay
- obs-studio.ffprobe
- obs-studio.glxinfo
- obs-studio
- obs-studio.srt-ffplay
- obs-studio.srt-file-transmit
- obs-studio.srt-live-transmit
- obs-studio.srt-tunnel
- obs-studio.vainfo
