i tried using the encoding thread above but it seems I still have some issues. Ive been trying to record some gameplay, but the first two attempts were very laggy and stuttery. I lowered the resolution like the guide said as well as the FPS but when I click 'stop recording' it says "encoding overload' is there something I might be missing?

I play on a laptop, also. So that primarily might not help? Windows 10, MSI NVIDIA GTX960M . (I am not savvy at all with gaming recording. I use OBS primarily for art streams, so be gentle!)

this is to show how laggy it is if someone can view this:

It looks like OBS is loading up the integrated Intel HD 530 rather than your Nvidia GPU.

Try running Nvidia control panel and choose 3D Settings | Manage 3D settings.
Override the global setting on a per program basis by clicking on the Program Settings tab. Look for the program you want to capture and change the setting to Nvidia.

You probably will want to do this for the Heroes game and obs64.exe

Use the Quick Sync encoder on your laptop. Here are the settings:

Target Usage: quality
Profile: high
Rate Control: CQP
QPI, QPP, and QPB should have a value between 15 - 20 (lower is higher quality but bigger file size, I recommend 18)

Leave everything else the same.

Using Quick Sync should fix your problem. Quick Sync uses a dedicated encoder on your iGPU to encode your video. Since the encoding load is placed on that encoder instead of your CPU, your performance won't suffer greatly (performance loss should be around 10% at most).
