The part that is technically not about the problem:
Hello beautiful people of this forum, i am quite new to all this obs business and the last few months i have been getting accustomed to the program getting down the settings that work best for me and have been recording some random footage for shits and giggles all throughout this time. I have never had problems with it before and when i felt comfortable with the program (and myself) a few days ago i just gathered all my bravery and tried to start my own youtube channel like i have been dreaming about a long time.
Needless to say i could really apprechiate your peoples help, as at this point i have lost 4hours and 30 minutes of great footage to this problem that i cant find anywhere on google.
I would really wish i didnt have to hope everytime i want to record content for my small channel that the gamplay is not ruined. I really need your help

Video Example of the menitoned "distortion"
tldr:
No problem ever, record game, obs closes during recording, creates no crashlog, menu and cutscenes play normal game footage distorted, try diffrent game, same problem, log of the recording says recording terminated due to the game beeing closed- cannot provide logs because of obs reinstall, record "diffrent game" from before, problem seems fixxed, today record cs:go again no problem- then record another game tonight- distortion is back menu clear but gameplay unusable.
Unecessarily in depth description of the Problem:
As i said i have recorded many hours of footage without problems, and the last few days i actually started recording and editing footage seriously- i got as far as uploading two videos on youtube, one video- unedited 1hour 45 minutes, the other 39 minutes also unedited- pretty recent games, one of them the resident evil 3 demo that came out. All without a problem, but yesterday i started running into trouble:
I wanted to record a somewhat older game called call of juarez just to throw out some fast fun content, recorded 40 minutes- close the game to stop the recording, but obs was already closed, the file only 18 minutes long. Obs didnt create a crash log so i assume it closed itself for some reason.
I record in .ts format, just because i falsely understood one day sony vegas cannot open mp4 or mkv, and just stuck with it after i learned better and never had a problem with it- and the files are as far as i have noticed not easily corrupted- but when i try to play the 18 minute video the gameplay part itself is strangely distorted and unusable.
The menu and cutscenes are normal and watchable as usual, but as soon as it goes into the game everything is unwatchable- Me assuming obs dropped the ball re-record the gameplay again 40 minutes, afterwards same thing. Obs closed, video file 10ish minutes short, no crashlog, i then assumed it must be because of the game, and switch to the first game i recorded (kingdom come deliverance)and uploaded before without problems wanting to make a part 2- play for 2hours 30 minutes, close the game after- same thing, Obs closed itself 7 minutes in, game footage strangely distorted again no crash log.
So i check the normal logs for the footage, and in those it only states along the lines that the recording was terminated due to the game supposedly having gotten closed, only i didnt tab out or anything of that sort, same thing for the other 2 recording attempts for the other game before.
I am sorry i cannot provide logs for these instances, as i talked to a friend about the problem and he just said i should reinstall the program, and thats what i did.
I then to check- if everything was ok recording a bit of Kingdom come deliverance again, knowing it recorded normally before the incident, and everything was normal. Then today i tried to fiddle around with call of juarez again seeing if i can capture it with a diffrent capture mode, none of which worked always the same distortion problem in the game itself, and i said to myself it must be the game.
Afterwards to make sure the game didnt destroy obs like i assumed it did before, i went to record 20 minutes of counterstrike global offensive, just because i´ve been recording that for fun before without ever running into issues and- everything was good.
Just now i then regained my confidence- and went to record a gameplay for a random horror game i got on steam one day, just to produce some more content for my super small channel- i go to menu put all the settings right, while recording for test purposes, recheck with obs, all good no distort. And after that go do my cheesy intro and play the game for about 40 minutes- i check the recording and again i see the menu all good, so i remux the recording and want to watch a small portion of the video forward past the menu- the distortion is back.
The log i provided is for this recording, i will also provide a short video showing the problem above as its hard to describe, distortion is not the right word- i would describe it as utterly ruined.
