Question / Help Encoder Overload?

[Brian laspe]

Hello all,
I am having issues with my obs streaming to twitch....I am getting a notification on the bottom left corner of obs saying that I'm having an encoder overload...I downgraded my bitrate to 1600 and only streaming at 39fps.

I tried both using my software x264 and hardware HVENC and get the same result.

Log file is above...any help is much appreciated.

1. The Windows 10 CU added a new Game Mode option which causes issues more often than it helps. It is recommended to disable it when using OBS. See here for how to disable: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-enable-disable-game-mode-windows-10-creators-update

2. Don't add your headset through the webcam, instead add it as a source directly in the sources area.

C3 it is disabled, does it come up as it is enabled on my log file? @c3r1c3

OBS currently doesn't know if Game mode is enabled, so whenever we see a release of Windows that has the option we state to make sure it's turned off.

3. In your Game capture make sure that "Compatibility Mode" is turned off.

@c3r1c3 how would I go about doing that?

nevermind was that the multi-adapter compatibility under game capture properties?

Yes, that's it.
