I've seen similar posts to this before, but I am having this same issue when playing Apex and tried all of the posted solutions to no avail. I can't figure it out for the life of me. The worst part is, everything was working fine when I only had 3-4 scenes put together then I spent hours basically building my stream and now my game is unplayable if I even have OBS open at all.
Here are the things I added after it was working fine:
-2 scenes matching my main stream scene (main monitor and face cam with overlays) with a color correction filter and an additional audio file as a source.
-Several scenes that are video sources only from MP4 files
-Added Advanced Scene Switcher plugin and used:
-2 macros to automatically return to previous scene after a certain time period when one of the filtered scenes is switched to
-A bunch of media rules that switch back to previous scene once the videos play through once on the new scenes created for them
-scene triggers to mute and unmute desktop audio at the start and end of the filtered scenes.
-I enabled replay buffer
Once I got all of that set up, I tried to run a game with OBS open just so I could see what some of these things looked like in a game and noticed it was completely botched despite my FPS readout at the top looking normal.
I tried the following to fix it:
-I dropped my video on OBS from 1080p down to 720p
-I dropped OBS from 60fps down to 30fps
-I switched my scenes to Game Capture instead of Display Capture
-I tried changing from hardware(GPU) to software(CPU) for the output (even though it screws up without the stream running)
-I checked the boxes on every single source possible to disable or close file when not in use so they aren't all running in the background
-I tried turning the replay buffer back off
-I tried turning off the 2 macros and all other rules set up in Advanced Scene Switcher
-I ran OBS in Admin
-I tried bottoming out graphics settings in Apex (I usually run these pretty much maxed out)
-Restarted Apex and OBS multiple times during all of these changes
-I have removed several, but not all of, the scenes of video sources
-I tried closing all open Twitch docks in OBS
None of that made any difference at all. I don't know what to do other than delete all of the remaining scenes or at least delete the Advanced Scene Switcher plug in. I do use the Media tab in that which I know they don't support anymore because they say everything in there can be done in Macros, but I wasn't smart enough to figure it out. Maybe I need to do that? A link to a log is below if someone thinks they can help.
