Hi there, first time poster
I'm here because I've been trying to use OBS and the Source Record plugin to stream Retroarch while recording the gameplay footage separately. I've tried just having a second OBS window open and recording Retroarch that way but Retroarch doesn't like that, it only allows it to be recorded in one window at a time, so I got Source Record to get around that.
The problem is, when I start streaming and hit the record button a few minutes later, sometimes OBS would just crash, and at least twice now my whole PC would crash and I'd have to reboot. It's really hurting the quality of my streams and I'm wondering if there's a way to fix this.
If my specs are the problem, here they are:
-13th Gen Intel Core i5-13400F 2.5 GHz
- RTX 3080 Ti (12GB)
- 24 GB RAM (3200 MHz)
