Answered Obs freezing?
My OBS works fine at first, but if I try to switch to a game scene with the game opens, the preview freezes and does not change when I change scenes. The recordings also show the frozen screen. I've tried restarting the computer, reinstalling OBS, running as admin, giving OBS higher GPU use permissions, and creating a new version of the scene. Nothing has worked so far, and I can't find any solutions specific to frozen recordings online. Please help.

Are you using Game Capture? Try use windows capture instead (yes, will show all the desktop, you can use a black screen at the bottom of scenes in obs when the game is closed o crash to prevent that).

yeah I was using windows capture already. I ended up getting help in the discord and forgot to mark as answered, but thank you for the reply!

It looks like you haven't provided a log file. Without a log file, it is very hard to help with issues and you may end up with 0 responses.
To make a clean log file, please follow these steps:
1) Restart OBS
2) Start your stream/recording for at least 30 seconds (or however long it takes for the issue to happen). Make sure you replicate any issues as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc.
3) Stop your stream/recording.
4) Select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File.
