Hello all,
I have been playing with OBS for almost a week now, but I have many lagging frames (and no other issues to my knowledge) when attempting to stream through game capture (League of Legends). Starting stream with any amount of video captures, screen captures, animations/overlays does not produce any lag whatsoever. It is not until I use game capture to stream (graphic intensive) GAMES that the lagged frames instantaneously drop me from my capped 60 fps down to less than literally 01 fps. I can click around in the game and attempt to play, but there is so much lag that my first one or two inputs don't always register in the game.
TLDR; the sh** is unplayable :/ but my PC was previously built and used by a friend who had no issue streaming 1440p/60fps. I have considered wiping my drives and reinstalling Windows, but I would only do that as a last resort. I'm more interested in deepening my understanding of OBS if the fix seems possible to y'all.
I believe the culprit is Windows Desktop Manager because I have been noticing it consistently sit at the top of Task Manager for usage within the GPU, CPU, AND Memory (even without any videos playing or games running). I haven't been able to find any solutions that actually worked from other peoples' posts (this forum, reddit, etc), so I decided to submit my own. As mentioned above, I have only been familiar with OBS for about a week, so I know for a fact that there are tons of people out here that may recognize particular details when I cannot. If you've made it this far into the post, I appreciate you so much! <3
Below are my PC specs:
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700K CPU @ 3.70GHz 3.70 GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti
RAM: 32.0 GB
Motherboard: Prime Z390-A
Storage 01: Samsung SSD 970 EVO 1TB (OS)
Storage 02: Samsung SSD 990 PRO 2TB (extra storage)
Cooling: Standard fans + H100i Platinum
OS: Windows 11 Pro (up-to-date as of this week)
System type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Below is a screenshot of my sound, video, and game controllers.
Below is a set of screenshots displaying my current OBS settings.
For advanced settings:
I have only changed General > Process Priority to HIGH
I tried both IPV4 only and IPV6 only within Network > IP Family, but that did not fix or reduce lagging frames.
Lastly, below is a screenshot of my OBS stats when recording League of Legends :
Average time to render frame peaked at about 45 ms, and my FPS dropped to 00-01 (maxing out at 09 for a couple seconds) for the majority of that recording. I attached a .ZIP folder to this post for anyone interested in watching the 55 second video I took.
(This screenshot above was taken while I was playing League in the Practice Tool, which is an isolated version of the game where I still have to connect to Riot Games' closest NA server. However, I am in a lobby by myself; not sure if any of that is relevant, but maybe it is, I dunno hahahah)
Thanks so much again for your time and consideration, everyone. It means a lot! Have a great rest of your day.
