File corruption/compatibility. It's a rarity.

It's not supposed to be done, but some plugins cache settings or other information inside their folders, which means backups can still have whatever's causing the crash inside.

Good to know that OBS uses the same methodology as fixing Elder Scrolls: Oblivion mods

The machine spirit wanted a fresh install of all your plugins. Omnissiah be praised

my OBS does this a lot too, my workaround is usually deleting all plugin files and temporarily making them sit in my Recycling bin before attempting to reopen OBS, letting it fail opening, and then restoring the plugin files and launching it again. Unironically works every time!

Probably one of the plugins was corrupt, so reinstalling sidesteps that problem.

I usually see that happen with encoding errors but for some mystical reason, OBS just fixes itself if you uninstall reinstall its so wild. Like it has old parts that wear out or something but thats my go to attempt.

Happy its done!
