Code sample:

My connection code, which connected before the OBS update and does not now (note it does not throw an error either):

async function connectToObs() {
  try {
    const { obsWebSocketVersion, negotiatedRpcVersion } = await obs.connect(
      'ws://localhost:4455', 
      { rpcVersion: 1 }
    );

    console.log(`Connected to OBS WebSocket v${obsWebSocketVersion} using RPC version ${negotiatedRpcVersion}`);
    reconnectAttempts = 0;

    obs.on('ConnectionClosed', () => {
        console.log('OBS connection closed. Attempting to reconnect...');
        attemptObsReconnect();
    });
    
    obs.on('ConnectionError', (error) => {
        console.error('OBS connection error:', error);
        attemptObsReconnect();
    });
    
    process.on('SIGINT', async () => {
        console.log('Process terminated. Closing OBS WebSocket connection...');
        try {
            disconnectObs();
        } catch (error) {
            console.error('Error closing OBS WebSocket connection:', error);
        }
        process.exit(0); // Optional: Forcefully terminate process after disconnection
    });
    
    process.on('SIGTERM', async () => {
        console.log('Process terminated. Closing OBS WebSocket connection...');
        try {
            disconnectObs();
        } catch (error) {
            console.error('Error closing OBS WebSocket connection:', error);
        }
        process.exit(0); // Optional: Forcefully terminate process after disconnection
    });
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Failed to connect:', error);
    attemptObsReconnect();
  }
}

Update: It now appears to be working again... Maybe there was something out of sync after the OBS update, that has corrected itself now... but I'll monitor this for a few more streams and then close if it's stable.
