So I was having this weird issue with OBS crashing my epsxe 1.9.0 every exact 15 minutes, so I decided to use Xsplit instead, and the crashes stopped. However, I had mad problems with Xsplits audio configuring, so I decided to give Streamlabs OBS a try, and the audio was perfect. However, the crashes even happen on the Streamlabs version, not as frequent as on normal OBS, but probably every 30 minutes. It has to do something with Streamlabs OBS, since I didn't experience any crashes with Xsplit. Anyone had this problem and fixed it, or knows a solution?
It doesn’t sound like a SLOBS problem, it sounds like an OBS in general problem since SLOBS is just a fork of the original.
That being said, no, I’ve never heard of this issue with OBS. I’m not entirely sure how OBS would crash the emulator since they are two independent programs that really aren’t interacting in anyway aside from OBS picking up the video output.
But when you say it crashes it, does the emulator just do a hard crash and the program closes? Does the video/audio freeze? Does the screen just go black? I’d maybe try a re-download of the emulator and run it by itself for a while without OBS or XSplit open and see if it happens then too.
First, audio stops and screen freezes for like 2-3 seconds, then the emulator just closes on itself.
I'll try re-downloading it, alright.
Update: Still crashed, copied the settings of someone whos emulator isn't crashing, who is also using OBS. Changed video plugins, also crashed.
I changed it to Window Capture instead of Game Capture, doesn't crash anymore, so I'm good. But it's still weird, I mean crashes happen every now and then, and often have a fix. But why did they appear every exact 15 minutes (checked with timer, crashed 3 times, always after 15 minutes). That seems so weird, there has to be something OBS does to the game capture every 15 minutes, can't explain what though.
Window capture for life!
I had the exact same problem with OBS in the past, and the exact same fix. Sorry I didn't show up sooner.
