    Weird GPU Usage (NVENC VS 3D GPU)

    My obs keeps having weird usage spikes and I can't figure out what causes them. It impacts performance randomly. I thought it was because the browser sources or Alt-tabbing, even pausing the game seems to cause it but none of those 3 produce consistant results either. Heres what I understand...

    OBS Replay stops Randomly with "Unknown Error"

    The OBS Replay Function Works fine most of the time, however every 1 or 2 hours the recording crashes and cant be restarted until OBS is completely closed and reopened.
