EDIT: For any of those visiting, I managed to fix my problem by uninstalling Avast. Thanks to R1CH for posting here and trying to help!
I'm labeling this as a bug because this should not be happening and only appeared recently. I've got 2 issues at hand here I believe.
1): process priority keeps resetting
I have the process priority in the "Advanced" options tab set to High. This has worked flawlessly ever since it got implemented. However, very recently it started ignoring the option. What I mean by this is, if I launch my OBS and look at its process in Task Manager, it shows the priority as "Normal", even though the "Advanced" tab shows it as "High". Sometimes I even have to click "Set priority to High" twice for it to get back to High. When I press "Start recording" it stays at "High", but when I stop it goes back to being at Normal priority.
But this probably wouldn't have been such a big deal if there wasn't another issue, which is...
2): severe lag and underperformance
To test things, I loaded up Dota 2 and hovered over a bunch of menu buttons for a while. My process load was at 70% at maximum, usually it kept at 50-60%. However, OBS still showed the "Encoding Overload" thing (bear in mind, it was only eating up about 10-15% of the CPU even though it was supposedly the highest priority process in the system). It's really weird.
I suspect the Creators' Update has something to do with this as it only started happening after I updated. I've read through the sticky though and it didn't have my issue in it, my Dota 2 is running in 64-bit dx11 mode and I even used Display Capture just to be safe. Would love to have it be fixed as soon as possible, as currently I am unable to record pretty much anything. OBS just refuses to use up the resources available to it. I've read through a bunch of posts complaining about performance, but felt like I should post as well, giving a more detailed bug report on the issue.
