Question / Help Choppy Recordings?

[Bastillux]

While I have OBS open, my in-game experience is still standard, good fps and all, but after stopping the recording some parts of the video seems smooth, then other times the video becomes unbearably choppy.

Here is my log.

Make sure to follow the Guide https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-classic-how-to-make-high-quality-local-recordings.16/

Are you running OBS as Admin? You have a fair Amount of Duplicated Frames that are probably caused by 720p40 on Veryfast Preset since H1Z1 is rather CPU intensive

@alpinlol Any suggestions on what I should change? Its taking forever for me to find the right settings. :(

I literally posted you a Setp-by-Step Guide for Local Recording.

Quick and short.

Downscaled by 1.5 to 1280x720
FPS 60
Preset Ultrafast
Bitrate 1000
Buffer 0
CFR = checked
CBR = unchecked
Custom x264 Command = crf=18

@alpinlol Unfortunately those settings have not helped me much. Any other possible changes I could make? Sorry obviously I'm a newbie.

Post a Log after using those Settings for at least 5 Minutes and describe your Problem if it got better worse or whatever

 

[Bastillux]

@alpinlol It seems that the recording may have gotten worse.

You hade those Issues before as well

Warning -- GraphicsCaptureSource::AttemptCapture: Failed to inject library, GetLastError = 5

But those Settings cant make it worse since it frees up CPU Usage.

Are you using Game Capture with Anti-Cheat-Hook? If not try and enable it.

And delete the CRF=18 Custom x264 Command (Its a Test)

After you done that its the same as always, test it and post a new Logfile of the Test.

After I tested what you said, things definitely were improved, but not at where I'd like it to be. Smooth, that is.

Still a crazy amount of duplicated Frames. Do you have any Ingame overlays running from Software? Razer/Msi/Overwolf/etc.

 

[Bastillux]

@alpinlol No, no in-game overlays.

What exactly are you trying to capture with the Monitor Capture?

 

[Bastillux]

@alpinlol I try to use fullscreen H1Z1, but it's black on the preview recording. So I use Monitor Cap.

Please make sure if its only for a game to leave the Scene with a single Source that means only one Capture Method.

You can try Window Capture as well and make sure to use the Game Capture with Anti Cheat Hook

And run OBS as Admin.

 

[Bastillux]

@alpinlol Ran OBS as Admin, and used a single source being Game Capture with Anti Cheat Hook.

The issues after analyzing seems about the same.

Something is terribly wrong. I doubt its because you are running 32Bit OBS that should barely change anything you can still try it.

I have seen a few Problems with high Audio Bitrates but 192Bit isnt really high either, though it can still be tested with a lower Bitrate (128).

And then there would be a fixed Bitrate/Buffer to limit the Encoder Bandwidth like 10000/10000

Could only think of an clean obs/GPU Driver uninstall and then installing them again also deleting the obs %appdata% folder.
