Question / Help Fps drop while recording/streaming since yesterday

I have been using OBS for months, to stream and record. Since yesterday i noticed a huge fps drop on at least 2 of my games (CS:GO and Rocket League), both while local recording and streaming. It drops from 100+ FPS to 40 when I start the recording and the game feels extremely "laggy".

The only thing that happened was a Windows 10 update, so i am giving the blame to this.

I didn't change any settings, i also tried veryifing the games cache on steam, reinstalling them on different HD, completely uninstalling my GPU driver and reinstalling it. Nothing helped. I read some different topics about this since yesterday, also in the Obs Studio forums, but no solutions by now. If anyone has any suggestions/help, please tell.

Edit: One more weird thing: I noticed right now that recording/streaming with "Screen captures" doesn't give any issue, it happens only in "Game capture" scenes. Any ideas?

I am in the exact same board. I have rocket league locked at 144 FPS (Uncapped it maxes) since my monitors are 1440p 140 Hertz. So i used to stream rocket league and lately ive been streaming fishing planet which is the least intense game ever. Rocket league is unplayable while streaming where as Fishing planet is still playable but only gets 30 fps.

2 weeks ago this was not an issue

CPU: 6700k 4.0 Ghz
MOBO: Asus ROG Maximus VIII Hero
GPU: Asus Posideon GTX 980 TI x2 SLI

Everything else inside is plenty high end enough. Thanks

Yes, the recent Windows update changed some DirectX components that impact game capture performance, OBS Classic and Studio both need an update as a result. Known issue, will be pushed out soon.

I was already thinking bout trying Studio so i might give it a try, but i am really used to the Classic so I still hope that the fix for it will come asap :)

Thanks again!
