Hello everyone. I'm having a serious issue with my OBS Studio. I'm trying to stream and i'm getting Encoding Overlad issue in my OBS. I've been streaming for 6 months and this never happened until few days ago, i'm playing Don't Starve which is pretty easy for a pc to handle and it seems like i can't fix it and i don't even know why is this happening. I need some help ASAP. Thanks in advance!

@Freakshow that log isn't showing the problem. It's showing you having internet connection issues.

Although you should have the renderer in advanced settings set to direct3d 11.

What log should i post then? I'll do it, just let me know which one.
And do you think switching to d3d is gonna fix my problem?

It's going to help at least. OpenGL's performance on windows isn't as good as Direct3d's

The thing is, this has never happened before, and it has no reason to be happening right now. That's why i have no idea where is this coming from

Here I have the same problem... I think that this began with the last updates of windows (because one week before this didn't happen)

I also noticed that this happen in some weird circumstances (OBS is running streaming or recording, of course): for example, when I put a gif image in an active scene, when I am seeing some video in the browser and ¡with the typical Unity launcher of some games (but not always)!



Un saludo.

Yes its from the last update, what about the encoder x264 ? i fix it with h264, but it take graphic card unstead of CPU. You can fix with this awaiting a real fix for using x264 in your encoder setting

Sry for my language im french

For me ..Nvidia H.264 is the only fix i found out so far ... Unfortunatly whenever i try x264 since 2-3 days ago it only makes my stream lag, frame skipped and the biggest problem: Overload Encoder :( Hope you guys from OBSproject will find some solution asap.
