OBS won't open in Normal or Safe mode
Help!
The latest log file is attached.

I've used OBS tons for years and this "not loading at all" is a new new thing. I've done chkdsk /f, sfc /scannow, and i did a windows memory diagnostic test then rebooted, let the test run, and nothing came back weird.

There were three odd splash errors before it stopped working altogether (I've included those as well).

I love OBS and would really like helping you fix this problem!

Please reach out to me at swardet [at sign] live dot com.
Thanks,
Tom

At this stage, I'm willing to remove everything, including all the work I put in to create all my scenes, and rebuild. I do NOT know how to do this. I need OBS, as I use it for my Zoom meetings and need to do some Zoom meetings!!

Help? [echo..] Is there anyone in here?

Did you already have an OBS Studio created backup of your Scene Collection? hopefully yes
I'd be tempted to try and hand edit that Scene Collection and remove references to all Media files, the LUT, Reaper VST, etc. And see if you can get that Scene Collection to start??

Or, manually move (copy) your current OBS Studio config with Scene Collection and really strip that config down to basics with NO 3rd party plugins. No filters/effects, etc. basically testing to make sure there is a hardware issue (only pushed to limit when running OBS Studio, which is not outside normal realm of possibility) or maybe something with GPU driver (also, unfortunately, not all that uncommon)
