encoder lag

Hello! I've been streaming for a few years and recently ran into an issue with OBS that I have NO idea how to solve. I'm not very tech savvy when it comes to things like this but I've been using the same hardware, settings and have never had a network issue before. A few weeks ago I loaded up...

I have a two-PC setup where I'm playing a game on PC1 and I'm trying to record the gameplay in 4K60 on PC2 (CBR / 50,000 Kbps). PC2 has a NVIDIA RTX 3060 GPU. Almost as soon as I hit Record, there is a huge amount of dropped frames due to encoding lag. In HWMonitor, I see that GPU encoder is...

Hi, I'm a content creator who streams to Twitch. I've been having all these problems for quite some time now. It's honestly probably more than what I put in my title, but those we're the first to come to mind. 1. I'll start with the freezing problem. My OBS mainly does this when I'm streaming...

Hey people, my names Slushly I'm a minecraft Youtuber and I've been makin content for awhile. Back in February I bought a new PC to replace my old IMac to make better content and for awhile it worked flawlessly, but as of recent after I finish a recording over about 10 minutes in length a...

I am live streaming not recording. I am having an issue where games will run fine for about (depending on the game) 10 min to 2 hours but mostly around the 10 to 15 min then just major stuttering, so bad that it crashes my gpu unless I stop game play. I have tried to down scale resolutions to...

I'm streaming on my Laptop, 3060 NVIDIA, 1tb SSD, 16 GB Ram, i7 and i'm capturing my gameplay with a capture card. My Gameplay is fine, except when i am turning my camera, it just skipps a frame or more. I tried other encoders, i tried the lowest settings, i tried only having OBS and the camera...

Hi, I'm running OBS 29.0 on an Intel-based Mac with AMD Radeon discrete GPU. I use a Logitech Brio cam and I have poor performance (video lags within seconds/minutes) and the software crashes each time I close it. The latest crash log is attached. Please help! K

We are a church streaming off OBS on a Mac. We are running video through a ATEM Mini Pro and using Dante to transfer audio digitally to the computer. We have a Syphon Client in it to transfer lower thirds through NDI from ProPresenter 7 which is on another computer. The desire is to stream 1080...

https://obsproject.com/logs/rfphZ0wW__MX3RaV As you can see from this, I'm recording and rendering in 2k, but I'd imagine my system could handle it. A 3080 is pretty damn powerful for what I'm doing. I thought I could boost my bitrate a bit beyond the 24,000 recommended minimum but I still get...

I'm trying to record some warzone but I'm having an issue where the recordings are choppy in some areas. I looked at the logs and some of them have skipped frames up to 5%. I play in 1080p but record in 1440p to abuse YouTubes vp9 rules. I use Intel Quicksync to record on my i9-9900k and play...

Log file: https://obsproject.com/logs/lfi5w4aGWcJhwt67 I was able to record + stream without a problem, but it's been a while since I can't even record at 1080p@60fps that I start to get Skipped Frames due to encoding Lag The thing is: My game is smooth 60 fps and my cpu usage is very...

Every time I try to record the game I am playing I keep getting encoding overload issues. I'm very new to using OBS and have tried looking everywhere for info on how to fix it but nothing seems to fix it. When I recorded using shadowplay in the past I never had any issues. That leads me to...

I recently upgraded to an RTX 2060 Super and was looking forward to the boost in recording quality that should've come along with using NVENC instead of x264 on my Ryzen 5 2600. NVENC, however, seems to have other plans. No matter what I do, I always get encoding lag. Recording League of Legends...

I have a Ryzen 7 2700 8-core 3.20ghz CPU, and with a Radeon RX 580 and I still can't record in 1080p60 no matter what I do. This software has proven to be more difficult and frustrating than helpful. I've tried configuring everything to my best ability but nothing matters. x264 encoding seems...

so when ever I am streaming Rainbow six siege for example I have 5% to 10% encoding lag and I upgraded my hardware because of these issues I had an I5-8400 then I up graded to a I7-9700 thinking that would fix it but it didn't then it still says I have high encoding lag even though I am using at...

Hey guys! I don't know what's going on with OBS for me. It suddenly started dropping frames and giving warnings of "encoder overload". My computer is a pretty powerful gaming PC. That said, I don't use OBS for streaming. Not even for playing games! I use OBS to record videos directly to the...

Over time, I've lowered and lowered the settings, and yet I'm finding that trouble comes back. What's wrong with the setup?

I have overloaded coding issues, how to solve? I don't have a "weak" setting My settings: Case: Cooler Master Cosmos C700P CPU: Intel I9 9900k 5.0 Ghz [OC MODE] MotherBoard: ROG-MAXIMUS-XI-EXTREME. Cooler System: Water Cooler Captain 240MM. Monitor: LG 34 'ULTRAWIDE @ 144Hz Power Supply...

Please help, everything worked. When broadcasting multiple channels, an error occurs. Two threads are OK, the third thread throws an error. User is now running a secondary instance of OBS! CPU Name: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3330 CPU @ 3.00GHz CPU Speed: 2993MHz Physical Cores: 4, Logical Cores: 4...

So, I am trying to record gameplay for YouTube. I want to use OBS, as Shadowplay not only has shitty audio quality, but it records in VFR. So, Shadowplay is out of the question. However, when I record in OBS, I ALWAYS get the "encoder overload" message, no matter what settings or encoder I use...
