Hey all,

My OBS was working just fine last night. After days of ignoring updating it, I decided to update the app and now it won't open at all.

When I click the icon to boot it up, I get the pop up:

OBS did not shut down properly during your last session.
Would you like to start in Safe Mode (third-party plugins, scripting, and WebSockets disabled)?

I click both options and it leads me to my camera light going on for maybe 3 seconds (signaling to me I think that it is trying to boot up) without OBS actually loading up. Then I get the second pop up noting:

OBS Studio quit unexpectedly.
Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple.
Reopen, Report, or Ignore

And the cycle continues. I havent found a solution specific to me as I have seen the logitech folder option but i cant seem to find that within my Finder.

Any help appreciated it.

+ 1 here too ...

I don't even get any error messages. I have to kill the app from Activity Monitor.

I've managed to create a workaround that works with Streamdeck:
  1. Completely uninstall OBS.
  2. Install OBS 31.0.3] and allow to update to the latest version.
  3. nstall StreamDeck 6.5 from PKG file.
  4. Install StreamDeck OBS Plug-in 2.2.8.
  5. Reboot so this all hangs together.
  6. Don't allow StreamDeck to update.

I'm having the same problem...31.03 on Monterey on a 2019 iMac or Sequoia on a 2024 MacBook Pro M4...keeps crashing and then cycling back through the same prompts as mentioned above. Any suggestions on this? Go back a few versions???

This is what worked for me: Downgrade to the older version that worked and export your profile and your scene collections. Then delete the "obs-studio" folder that's in ~/Library/Application Support. Then install the new version and it should work. You'll have to import your profile and scenes.

HOWEVER: you might find that the same error will happen again if you close OBS and try to re-open it. I found that 31.0.3 crashes if any of your audio sources are set to "Monitor and Output". I'm wondering if that's specific to my own audio setup, or anyone can replicate this. The work-around is to set the monitoring to "Monitor Off" before closing OBS and then turning it back to "Monitor and Output" after opening OBS. It's a real pain, but it works.

It seems that the bug is not present in 31.0.2, at least for me. I'm downgrading to that version.

I have the same problem with 31.0.3 crashing, and downgrading to 31.0.2 worked for me too. Ventura 13.7.4.

Crash log attached.
