First and foremost, I am not the streamer who is having encoding issues. I am helping out a streamer I watch, who is not too familiar with how to troubleshoot the issue they are having. I'm not either, but I am a bit more tech savvy than they are.
Here is another thread they sent me. They said the issue described in this thread is similar to their own issue: Similar Issue with OBS Update
They have reported having Encoding Overload messages while streaming various games, including: DOOM Eternal, Slime Ranchers, and even Wild Arms 2. This issue has even occurred when their CPU usage was only around 4% in OBS. The message is not constant, but occurs at random times, causing their stream to lag - yet the game is running smoothly on their computer.
They have not changed any of their setup between the time their streams were running fine, to now where they are experiencing Encoding Overload errors. The only difference is that they updated OBS about a week ago.
Here are the programs they have running while streaming (here's a quote from them): "I run facerig, streamlabels, streamlabs chatbot in the background of my streams, and before I used SongRequest on the chatbot. I used to even have youtube running in the background of whatever game I was streaming. Never had any encoding problems until the update "
Here is their log for their last stream, which did encounter Encoding Overload errors: OBS Log
If you need any additional information, I will talk to the streamer. Thank you!
