We don't have any code in the app to interact with Discord or any other app streaming the output. If I had to guess Discord is reading the GPU buffer the app is writing to and leaving it in a bad state and the app is crashing with a Direct X error because of it. There should be an entry in Window's Event Viewer in your Application Logs that could confirm what is happening.

@Wario471@We1Dont7Die@Phantom Foxx: To resolve this problem, disable the "Use our advanced technology to capture your screen" setting under "Voice and Video" in Discord (see screenshot). 

@C-Beats  Unfortunately, nothing shows up in the Event Viewer nor in the debug file in Launchbox's /Logs directory.  That said, you can probably replicate it by just enabling the setting and then "go live" in Discord.  Big Box will be forcibly shut down after a few seconds.  I've included a couple of Discord debug logs with the setting on and off, but not sure how helpful they'll be.

For what it's worth, I do not recall needing to disable that setting in order to stream BigBox earlier in the year, but I cannot say for sure that was always the case.
