I helped a friend having the "encoding overloaded" issue.
The Wiki sure helps but a "Slow Hard Drive" section would be beneficial as it was his issue.
I told him to try to record his video on another disk and the issue was solved. His hard drive was defective or not performant enough thus OBS signaled there was an issue.
