Bug Report Bad Performance with UE Games (Finding Bigfoot)

[Schauerland]

Hey,

so i notice that OBS seems to have always problems with frame drops on rendering with Unreal Engine Powered games.

Yesterday I recorded Finding Bigfoot and the record fps dropped to about 50fps ingame i have 60fps

I already noticed that with other UE games like beyond despair

i have frame limit set in capture and vsync on (i even have vsync set to always in nvidia driver)

it doesnt matter if is set graphics settings to the lowest or the highest

i record at the same resolution as i play.

any ideas?

Yup, I can confirm. One thing I noticed was that while streaming, OBS frames would be from 19-60, mostly lower though. However when I click out of the game window and am in, say, Discord or OBS, it still displays the game "on spectate cam after death" at a buttery smooth 60fps, both in discord and on youtube. But once I click back into game, even if on spectate cam, it drops again. I tried running Fraps while game was on, and it showed 30-120fps, but OBS was still only at 18-30.
