DOOM ETERNAL CRASHING WHEN OBS IS INSTALLED

[skim milky]

ill be starting the game and before i get to the Bethesda logo the game just remains on the black screen and crashes before it even starts. it started happening after the update on September fifth when Denuvo Anti-Tamper was removed from the game. This issue is pretty bad and i had to switch to stream-labs to get it working again. is anyone else having this issue on windows 11? cuz this seems to be the case for me.

I can tell you that this has nothing to do with Denuvo or Windows 11, this has been happening to me already on Windows 10 way before Anti-Tamper was removed.

For me it crashes only when OBS, respectively its Vulkan hook ("\ProgramData\obs-studio-hook\graphics-hook64.dll"), is already running when I start the game. Starting OBS _after_ Eternal usually works fine. Problem is that OBS' graphics hook seems to start with other applications too, Discord for example.

Disabling "Present From Compute" in the game seems to fix the problem, but for me that introduces stuttering in the recordings, so I rather live with starting OBS after Eternal. Enabling "Present From Compute" after the game has been started, and disabling it before exiting the game might work too, but to me personally that seems a little more cumbersome.
