Alternative Title: Am I Doing Something Wrong Here?
Hello,
I've been trying to use OBS Studio recently to stream/record game footage for my friends to watch me play. And, if I can ever muster up the nerve, the world at large maybe.
Unfortunately, I've been having a problem with OBS Studio and Overwatch. OBS Studio seems to have some truly massive frame lag no matter what I do when recording Overwatch. I've had varying success recording other games but it just seems to hate this one. GeForce Experience, however, records it without any issues. So I'm wondering if I just have something set wrong and this is fixable. I love OBS and would be tickled if I could use it for all my recording needs.
To reduce the variables involved, I put the game into fullscreen mode to test it, so the OBS one has a bit of a hitch at the start from tabbing back in.

The log file shows 973 lagged frames, so I'm sure that's related. I'm just not sure what's causing it.
