alright who's ready for more technical talk
the crash today surprised me because nothing was happening visually, so my prior assumption is just wrong. I did some research and found something, however. Apparently, HAGS (Hardware Acceleration GPU Scheduling) has a history of making OBS's video thing crash during high CPU usage. Like, if OBS and the game together add up to about 95% CPU usage or something like that, the video recording will hang and will have to be interrupted, basically exactly what I've been experiencing.
Now I have not been precisely monitoring resources while I've been playing but I can say with a high degree of certainty that this game, talos reawakened, is by far the most demanding game I've played in terms of raw stats. And like, maybe for most of the game it's still hanging out fine but is it possible that *this section of the map* in particular has some thing somewhere that uses up a lot more cpu and created this condition? Considering I'm 2 for 2 on this place specifically creating a crash, this is credible.
So I turned of HAGS for the future and I guess we'll see what happens!
