there are several different settings in there I don't know which ones you are getting the problem with so I'm just going to assume it is the first ones.

You also seem to have a mess of scenes/sources. And they seem to be causing errors. It is probably so many sources that your PC and OBS can't handle loading them all. Try making a new scene collection and just have a single source or just a few sources per scene and see if that fixes your problem.

Also are you having lag always or just when you are switching scenes?

Your CPU is pretty weak and you seem to be using the medium preset

20:14:59.290: [x264 encoder: 'streaming_h264'] preset: medium

there is no way that cpu would be able to handle that preset, change it to veryfast (which is the default) but what is weird is that you don't seem to be dropping many frames. I'm not sure entirely what is going on. The log is just way too messy for me to deal with.

well ok it only uses 40 percent cpu at peak when streaming with my capture card at medium preset when i stream pc games it uses less on very fast but if i go above it i get high encoding the only time i get dropped frames is when i switch scenes but not all the time and it's about the same number of frames each time i switch. I just bought that cpu thought 4.0 ghz was fast and 8 cores im not a computer wizzard but it seemed good. You might be on to something with all the sources i will try removing the video backgrounds and see if that helps and more if that does not work until obs can handle my extensive scene collection. Thanks for your help C-Dude so far thats very nice of you ive posted before and got no responses!
