Hey guys, so I decided to stream today for an hour or so, whenever I start up my game, OBS gives me an error saying Encorder overloaded! Consider turning down your video settings etc, I tried every solution but it didn't help me in any way, I streamed before on Youtube many times with the same settings but I can't stream anymore, any solutions?

My PC specs :
Intel Core i3 @ 2.50GHz
4GB DDR3 Ram
Intel HD Graphics 4000

Check out this playlist I made on my channel which includes all my previous livestreams :

Your longest stream was only 2 minutes long, not 5 like I asked. But this is still pretty definitive:
03:31:48.820: Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 1050/3499 (30.0%)

That number needs to be under 1% for a good looking stream, but yours is at 30%.

This is probably because your laptop is only a dual-core (although with hyperthreading):
03:23:56.967: Physical Cores: 2, Logical Cores: 4

You should try a smaller resolution, a faster Preset (SuperFast or UltraFast), and/or less FPS (15 or 20fps). Make some or all of those changes, then look at the log file and see if the line I quoted first above is less than 1%. If yes, then you can stream at those settings. If not, then you have to make more extreme changes. Depending on the game you might have to reduce settings to the point where its not really worth streaming at all (imo).
